Removing obstacles in materials and land so that the project does not have to wait
According to a report by the Ministry of Finance, by the end of July 2026, disbursement of public investment capital reached 425,312 billion VND, equal to 41.9% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister.
To strive to disburse 100% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, towards the goal of "2-digit" economic growth, the Ministry of Finance said that many solutions need to be urgently implemented in the remaining months of the year.
According to the Ministry of Finance, material sources and site clearance continue to be the stages that need to be focused on removing so that projects can accelerate construction progress.
For construction materials, the solution is to increase supply right from operating mines, and at the same time accelerate the introduction of new supply sources into exploitation. Localities with construction material mines need to review and increase exploitation capacity; remove procedural obstacles, accelerate the issuance of new mine licenses and extend licenses for mines with reserves but expired exploitation periods.
Material sources need to be prioritized for key national projects, especially projects in the Southern region.
At the same time, research the mechanism for coordinating construction materials between regions, using materials to replace traditional materials. This solution aims to reduce pressure on depleted resources and supplement supply for projects in areas without sufficient on-site materials.
Besides the supply problem, price control is also raised. The Ministry of Finance requests the Ministry of Construction to coordinate with localities to closely monitor the market, strengthen management and inspect compliance with the law on materials prices and construction price indexes, and promptly have solutions to stabilize the market and ensure supply for construction.
Faced with fluctuations in fuel and construction material prices, investors and contractors need to analyze the impact on each contract to implement adjustments in accordance with legal regulations. Handling must ensure investment efficiency, avoid loss and waste, harmonize interests and share risks between parties, and prevent price fluctuations from delaying project progress.
Regarding site clearance (GPMB), the requirement is to ensure clean ground when deploying construction, not to let the situation of projects having to wait for ground occur.
Regarding land issues, the Ministry of Finance requests the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to urgently complete procedures to submit to the Government to submit to the National Assembly for amendment of the Land Law in 2026. While the Land Law has not been amended, issues that need immediate handling must be proactively reported and proposed to competent authorities for consideration and decision.
Increase construction output, focus resources on key projects
For key transport projects, the Ministry of Finance requests the Ministry of Construction and localities to accelerate progress, increase production and disbursement in the third quarter of 2026, with the goal of the disbursement rate of key projects and works being higher than the national average.
Projects and works that are behind schedule must be made public. The Ministry of Construction and localities shall simultaneously continue to implement the tasks and solutions in Notice No. 343/TB-VPCP dated July 1, 2026 of the Government Office and Official Dispatch No. 25/CD-TTg dated March 21, 2026 of the Prime Minister.
For 2 railway projects, the Ministry of Construction needs to urgently hand over boundary markers to localities to implement site clearance, and at the same time strengthen inspection and urging of relevant localities and promptly remove difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process.
At construction sites, ministries, central agencies, localities, upper-level agencies of investors and investors need to strengthen inspection and urge contractors to mobilize sufficient manpower, machinery, and equipment.
Faced with complicated weather developments, units need to proactively adjust construction plans and organize compensatory construction immediately when weather conditions are favorable to ensure project progress.
Regarding the capital plan for 2026 newly assigned by the Prime Minister for supplementation, ministries, central agencies and localities need to urgently complete investment procedures, ensuring conditions for detailed allocation for tasks and projects.
Units must also enter data on capital allocation or adjustment plans, if any, on the Information System and national database on public investment in accordance with legal regulations.
In addition to the requirement to accelerate disbursement, the Ministry of Finance also emphasized that the management and use of public investment capital must be linked to investment efficiency. Ministries, central agencies and localities continue to implement Directive No. 16/CT-TTg dated April 23, 2026 of the Prime Minister on the management and use of public investment capital associated with socio-economic accounting, assessing investment efficiency and accelerating the progress of building medium-term public investment plans for the period 2026-2030.
Accordingly, projects that have been prepared for investment in the 2021-2025 period but have not yet started need to be reviewed to resolutely eliminate ineffective projects that are no longer necessary, urgent or non-feasible.
