On March 10, according to a report by the Lam Dong Department of Finance, in the first 2 months of 2026, the whole province disbursed nearly 255 billion VND, reaching 2.12% of the 2026 public investment capital plan. With this result, Lam Dong ranked 31st/34 provinces and cities in terms of public investment capital disbursement.
The total public investment capital plan for 2026 from the provincial state budget is more than 15,487 billion VND. Of which, the central budget is 2,274 billion VND, and the local budget is 13,213 billion VND.
For the central budget capital source, the Provincial People's Committee has detailed allocation of 100% of the capital plan for transitional and newly started projects. Local budget sources alone have detailed allocation of more than 11,292 billion VND, reaching 85.46%.
According to assessments, the disbursement progress is low because some units and localities have not intervened in time and lack decisiveness. Many newly started projects have not completed investment procedures, while site clearance work still has many obstacles that have not been handled in time.
In addition, expertise in the field of public investment in some communes and wards is still limited, affecting the progress of project implementation, especially new projects that are in the process of completing dossiers and procedures.
The low disbursement of public investment capital is affecting the implementation of many socio-economic development targets of the locality.
Mr. Ho Van Muoi - Member of the Party Central Committee, Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee emphasized that disbursing public investment capital is a particularly important task, requiring drastic involvement of departments, branches and localities.
According to the Chairman of Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee, the disbursement progress must be calculated in hours and days. Therefore, the Department of Finance, in its role as the presiding agency, needs to improve its responsibility in this work.
Regarding transitional capital sources, the Department of Finance is assigned to review communes, wards and investors with slow project dossiers and procedures; identify and classify causes to have appropriate handling plans. At the same time, assess the capacity of each investor, resolutely not allowing weak investors to slow down disbursement progress.
Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Ho Van Muoi requested that in the immediate future, the Department of Finance coordinate with departments, branches, and localities to focus on disbursing transitional capital in 2025 with a total capital of 2,050 billion VND.
For investors with slow disbursement rates, it is necessary to promptly consider and handle responsibilities; in case of insufficient implementation capacity, boldly replace them to ensure overall progress.
For communes and wards that still have limited implementation capacity, it is necessary to assign provincial-level officials and project management boards to directly go to the grassroots level to support, guide, and promptly remove difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process.
For projects facing many obstacles that are difficult to implement or disburse according to the plan, it is necessary to review and specifically assess to consider transferring capital to projects with higher feasibility, ensuring the effective use of public investment resources.
In addition, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee proposed to soon organize training classes for investors, agencies, and related units to unify processes and implementation methods, thereby improving the implementation capacity and accelerating the progress of projects.
