According to the 2024 capital plan, Can Tho City has allocated VND 8,849.780 billion in detail. Through the results of the first 9 months, VND 4,290.166 billion has been disbursed, reaching 48.48% of the capital plan assigned in detail by the City People's Council and 41% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister.
