In 2026, Hung Yen was allocated more than 43,071.7 billion VND of public investment capital. As of April 15, the province had allocated 38,305 billion VND, but only disbursed 2,842.5 billion VND, reaching 6.9% of the plan, creating great pressure for the goal of completion in the remaining months.
The main reasons are site clearance problems, scarce material supply, fluctuating prices, and some construction contractors being behind schedule.
In the context of low overall disbursement progress, many major investors in the province are accelerating implementation. In 2026, Construction Investment Project Management Board No. 2 was assigned to be the investor of 63 projects and monitor 4 other projects, with disbursement value in the first quarter reaching 520.4 billion VND, equal to 107% of the quarterly plan.
Meanwhile, Construction Investment Project Management Board No. 1 was assigned to implement 61 projects, with a total investment of nearly 49,800 billion VND. In the first quarter, this unit disbursed 536.4 billion VND, equivalent to 6.7% of the annual plan.
Mr. Tran Minh Hai - Director of Construction Investment Project Management Board No. 1 - said that the unit will continue to proactively coordinate with localities to accelerate site clearance, ensure timely handover; and at the same time drastically direct contractors to focus manpower and equipment, ensure material supply and review and penalize slow-progressing construction units.
Recently, the Economic - Budget Committee of Hung Yen Provincial People's Council surveyed the progress of implementing projects using public investment capital in 2026 in Thai Thuy commune. According to Resolution 27, the locality is allocated capital for 3 key projects.
In which, the coastal infrastructure project to respond to climate change has been completed, continuing to be supplemented with 889 million VND; the Hoa Diem street upgrade project reached about 37% of the construction volume; the road to the waste-to-energy plant project is completing site clearance, ready to start construction. The projects basically ensure progress, aiming for disbursement on schedule.
At the working session with the Department of Finance, Chairman of Hung Yen Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Manh Quyen clearly stated his point of view, if the second quarter does not reach or exceed the average disbursement level of the whole country, the province will consider clarifying the responsibilities of each collective and individual involved. He requested the Department of Finance to closely coordinate with sectors and localities, regularly inspect and remove obstacles in the implementation process; and at the same time review the entire list of public investment projects from provincial to commune levels in a streamlined and focused direction, doing it thoroughly to the extent possible, avoiding scattered resources.
In particular, completed projects must be finalized immediately. Cases of slow finalization and failure to comply with regulations will have to explain, self-criticize, and even be disciplined.
