Disbursement of public investment is still slow
In the first 6 months of 2026, Lam Dong's economy continued to maintain positive growth momentum. However, the GRDP growth rate is still lower than the target of 9.32% according to the scenario set out.
According to the assessment of the Lam Dong Provincial Statistics Department, the main reason is that two dynamic sectors, including industry - construction and services, have not met expectations.
Ms. Truong Thi Mong Di - Deputy Head of Statistics of Lam Dong province - said that the growth of these two regions is lower than the scenario is the main reason why the province's GRDP has not reached the target in the first half of the year.
One of the biggest bottlenecks currently is the progress of disbursement of public investment capital. To date, the whole province has disbursed more than 4,900 billion VND, reaching over 24% of the annual plan.
According to assessments, compensation and site clearance work at many projects is still slow; some key projects have not ensured progress.
This not only affects the construction industry but also affects material production, transportation, trade and services.
In addition, administrative procedure reform, improving the quality of service to people and businesses continues to be identified as an important solution to improve the investment environment and attract development resources.
According to calculations by the Statistics sector, to complete the GRDP growth target of 10% in 2026, Lam Dong must achieve an increase of about 12% in the last 6 months of the year.
This is a challenging but still feasible goal if bottlenecks are removed in time.
Unlock resources to accelerate
The Provincial People's Committee sets a target to disburse 100% of the public investment capital plan for 2026, and at the same time attach the responsibility of the heads of agencies and units to the implementation results.
Mr. Le Ngoc Tien - Director of the Department of Finance of Lam Dong province - said that in the last months of the year, the province will focus on removing difficulties for processing and manufacturing enterprises; accelerate the progress of key projects to create new development space.
It is expected that from now until the end of the year, there will be about 14 industrial projects with a total investment of more than 23,700 billion VND put into operation.
Many renewable energy, processing industry and supporting industry projects are expected to make positive contributions to economic growth.
For the service sector, the province continues to implement solutions to stimulate tourism and consumption during the peak season at the end of the year, striving to welcome over 25 million visitors, tourism revenue reaching over 71,000 billion VND and total retail sales of goods and service revenue exceeding 212,000 billion VND.
In the agricultural sector, the locality continues to promote the application of high technology and digital transformation in production, while proactively preventing and combating natural disasters and epidemics to maintain growth momentum.
Launching the peak emulation movement "180 days and nights determined to successfully implement the double-digit growth target in 2026", Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi requested departments, branches, and localities to urgently develop specific plans, clearly define goals, progress and responsibilities for implementation.
According to Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Trong Yen, the disbursement results of public investment capital are decisive for the province's double-digit growth target.
Therefore, departments, branches, localities and investors need to focus on removing obstacles, accelerating site clearance, taking advantage of favorable weather for construction, ensuring disbursement according to the plan.
