On the afternoon of October 16, the People's Committee of Can Tho City held a press conference for the third quarter of 2025. Mr. Vo Nhut Quang, Deputy Director of the City Department of Finance, reported on the results achieved in the socio-economic field in the first 9 months of 2025 and the key tasks for the last 3 months of 2025 of Can Tho City.
According to the general assessment, in the first 9 months of the year, the city's socio-economic situation continued to remain stable and achieved many positive results in all fields. Trade, services and tourism are on the rise, contributing to the growth of the city.
For basic construction investment alone, the 2025 public investment plan for the State budget of Can Tho City is VND 29,317,820 million, with detailed allocations of VND 27,525,668 million.
The detailed disbursement results according to the State Treasury's data up to September 23, 2025, the accumulated disbursement value is VND 8,910,395 million; Compared to the Prime Minister's Decision, it reached 32.19% (VND 8,910.395/27,682,933 million); Compared to the detailed capital plan, it reached 32.37% (VND 8,910.395/27,525.668 million).
The Deputy Director of the City Department of Finance said that there are 3 reasons why Can Tho City disburses low public investment capital and has not yet achieved the set plan. That is, most of the project projects face many difficulties in site clearance; a prolonged shortage of raw materials for key transport projects; the work of completing investment procedures in the preparation phase of consulting units and investors is still limited.
With the above difficulties, in the coming time, Can Tho City will focus on implementing many tasks, especially raising the sense of responsibility of heads of units assigned to investors to assign investment capital plans; investors predict difficulties, thereby proposing to competent authorities to consider and resolve them promptly.
According to the Deputy Director of the Department of Finance, Can Tho City will focus on solutions to speed up the disbursement of public investment capital, the progress of implementing National Target Programs, striving to disburse 100% of the 2025 public investment capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister and 100% of the capital of the National Target Programs in 2025.
