Low disbursement, launching emulation
In 2026, the total public investment capital of Can Tho City assigned by the Prime Minister is more than 19,616 billion VND. According to a report by the Can Tho City Department of Finance, by mid-July 2026, Can Tho City had allocated more than 19,266 billion VND in detail, reaching over 98% of the allocated capital plan.
However, the disbursed value only reached 21.53% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister and 21.92% of the detailed capital plan. For capital sources extended from previous years to 2026, the total planned capital of more than 3,663 billion VND, has now been disbursed reaching 16.56%.
According to Plan No. 16/KH-UBND of Can Tho City People's Committee, by the end of the second quarter of 2026, the disbursement rate must reach 50% of the plan and by the end of the third quarter reach 75%. However, the current implementation results are still low compared to the requirements. To achieve the target of disbursing 75% by the end of the third quarter, Can Tho City needs to disburse an additional 10,489 billion VND, an average of over 3,000 billion VND/month.
Faced with this situation, Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee Truong Canh Tuyen issued a Plan on launching a 90-day and night peak emulation to complete the disbursement target to complete the above target.
This emulation period aims to create a vibrant emulation atmosphere to celebrate National Day September 2 and National Resistance Day December 19, promoting the completion of the targets for disbursing public investment capital in 2026 of Can Tho City.
The emulation period will last until the end of September 30, 2026, with the goal of mobilizing the drastic involvement of the entire political system, units, organizations, and related individuals.
This plan focuses on many key solutions. Specifically, investors must assign leaders to directly direct, regularly inspect progress at the construction site; develop detailed construction plans, closely follow the progress of each project and proactively handle difficulties and obstacles to accelerate implementation progress and disburse public investment capital during peak periods.
Commune and ward People's Committees are responsible for strengthening propaganda and mobilizing people's consensus in compensation, support, resettlement and site handover; coordinating the implementation of sand exploitation to serve key national projects, inter-regional projects and projects with a total investment of 100 billion VND or more.
Preparing for 2027
Also at the fourth session (specialized session) on the afternoon of July 30, the People's Council of Can Tho City approved the submission of the City People's Committee on the expected Public Investment Capital Plan for 2027 to report to the Ministry of Finance according to regulations.

In the capital structure expected for 2027, the central budget still plays a leading role with 17,279.6 billion VND, and the rest is from local budget sources.
This year, Can Tho City will focus on allocating capital to deploy and complete projects in the main groups in the fields of transportation; education, training and vocational education; science and technology, innovation and digital transformation; agriculture, forestry, etc.
