The information was stated at the conference to assess the disbursement of public investment capital for the 2026 plan chaired by Mr. Dinh Huu Hoc, Standing Vice Chairman of Lang Son Provincial People's Committee, on March 25.
According to the report, in 2026, the Prime Minister assigned Lang Son 2,260 billion VND of public investment capital. The Provincial People's Committee has allocated 2,215 billion VND in detail, equivalent to 98% of the plan; and 45 billion VND, accounting for 2%, has not been allocated.
As of March 23, units assigned to manage capital and investors have disbursed 360 billion VND, reaching 16% of the plan at the beginning of the year. This level is higher than the national average disbursement rate by the end of February 2026 of 5.6%.
However, the disbursement picture is uneven. Among the 79 investors and People's Committees of communes and wards assigned capital, up to 76 units disbursed lower than the provincial average.
In the provincial level, only 3/14 investors have a disbursement rate higher than the general average. In the commune level, 65/65 communes and wards have not incurred disbursement.
The units said that the slow progress is mainly due to the focus in the first quarter on completing investment procedures for newly started projects.
Some projects cannot be disbursed because they still depend on the progress of revenue from land use and lottery funds to allocate capital.
Difficulties in site clearance also continue to affect the progress of some key projects such as Lang Son Provincial Sports Complex, Ly Thai To extended road and resettlement areas.
In addition, fluctuations in input material and fuel prices such as gasoline, oil, asphalt, emulsion, and steel increased sharply, directly affecting the construction progress of many projects.
Concluding the meeting, Mr. Dinh Huu Hoc acknowledged the efforts of the units in advising on detailed capital allocation and assessing that the overall disbursement results of the province are still higher than the national average.
However, he emphasized that the disbursement progress at the commune level is still very slow and has not met the requirements.
Leaders of the Provincial People's Committee requested units to focus on accelerating progress, striving to disburse 50% of the capital plan assigned at the beginning of the year by the end of June 30.
The Department of Finance is assigned to establish a working group to inspect investment preparation in communes for newly started projects and investment preparation projects, striving to complete legal documents before April 30.
Regarding site clearance, investors must coordinate with land fund development branches to develop detailed plans for each month and each quarter to monitor progress and serve as a basis for review.
Heads of localities, agencies, and units are required to directly direct, remove obstacles, promote project progress and disburse capital.
