Can Tho e-Portal reported that the city is urgently implementing the Prime Minister's direction on promoting the allocation and disbursement of public investment capital in 2026.
According to a report by the State Treasury of Region XIX, as of April 16, 2026, the disbursement rate of public investment capital of the city reached 10.82% of the 2026 capital plan assigned. Of which, capital managed by departments and agencies reached 12.56%; capital managed by the Regional Management Board reached 11.65%; capital managed by the People's Committees of communes and wards reached 2.75%.
The above results show that the disbursement progress of Can Tho City is still slow, not meeting the task requirements according to Plan No. 16/KH-UBND dated January 15, 2026 on implementing the Economic Growth Scenario for 2026.
Faced with that situation, the Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee requested Directors of departments, Heads of agencies, departments and Chairmen of People's Committees of communes and wards assigned to the investor to organize meetings to review and comprehensively assess the results of implementing basic construction investment tasks and disbursing public investment capital.
Require clear identification of the responsibility of the investor, organizational capacity and individuals in charge of the project; assess the effectiveness of coordination and implemented solutions; draw lessons learned and have immediate solutions to overcome existing shortcomings and inadequacies.
According to the People's Committee of Can Tho City, if there are no creative solutions, slow innovation of working methods and lack of determination, it is highly likely that the disbursement task for 2026 will not be completed.
To be determined to complete the disbursement target of public investment capital, contributing to the implementation of the economic growth target of 10% or more, the Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee requested to focus on drastically, flexibly and effectively implementing key tasks.
Units must closely follow the tasks of the 2026 public investment plan, clearly assign responsibility to leaders and officials in charge of each project, build disbursement progress by week, month, quarter; strengthen urging, inspection, and supervision; report periodically before Fridays every week and twice a month.
Along with that, strengthen coordination to remove obstacles in mechanisms, policies, investment procedures, capital allocation, payment, disbursement and construction site. Investors must closely coordinate with the Land Fund Development Center and local authorities to accelerate compensation, support, and resettlement work; urge construction contractors; strictly handle weak contractors who violate progress or quality; proactively propose transferring construction volume when necessary.
For the People's Committees of communes and wards, the Chairman of Can Tho City People's Committee requested to focus on allocating all the capital plan for 2026 and promote disbursement according to commitments; coordinate with investors in compensation, support, and resettlement work, creating consensus among the people to accelerate the progress of site clearance.
Right from the beginning of 2026, the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee, the Party Committee of the City People's Committee and the City People's Committee have prioritized arranging work programs, issuing many guiding documents to ensure the completion of the target of disbursing 100% of the public investment capital plan for 2026 as directed by the Prime Minister.
