On May 5, Mr. Nguyen Manh Quyen - Chairman of Hung Yen Provincial People's Committee worked with the Department of Finance on a series of key contents: developing a growth scenario for the second quarter and the whole year of 2026; public investment plan for 2026 and medium-term period 2026-2030; budget management; management and handling of public assets after arrangement; attracting non-budget investment and reviewing slow-progress projects.
At the working session, the head of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized the key role of public investment in promoting socio-economic development. The Department of Finance is identified as the "conductor" agency in advising and coordinating, especially in disbursement.
Therefore, this agency needs to proactively propose practical solutions, and at the same time strengthen urging investors, project management boards and contractors to ensure that disbursement progress is even quarterly.
The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee clearly stated his point of view that if the second quarter does not reach or exceed the national average disbursement level, 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.
A noteworthy requirement is to review the list of public investment projects in a streamlined direction, avoiding spreading out; prioritize completing each project to soon promote efficiency. In parallel, completed projects must be urgently finalized and disbursed immediately when the dossiers are complete; if there are any problems, it is necessary to promptly report to the Provincial People's Committee for handling.
The province will also strongly decentralize to the Department of Finance in the finalization work to shorten procedures, but requires this unit to develop a specific roadmap for each project group, ensuring "clear people, clear tasks, clear progress". Cases of slow finalization will have to be reviewed, even handled according to regulations, because this is the direct cause affecting the disbursement progress.
The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also noted that management must be unified, not allowing the situation of applying different contents as before the merger to occur.
According to the report, by the beginning of May 2026, the province had allocated more than VND 38,304 billion of public investment capital. In the coming time, the Department of Finance is assigned to focus on tasks such as promoting disbursement, handling redundant headquarters, balancing budget revenue and expenditure, building a double-digit growth scenario and strengthening investment attraction.
At the same time, it is necessary to improve the quality of advice and application of digital technology in management and administration, contributing to affirming the central role in the socio-economic operation of the province.
