On December 4, according to a report by the Nghe An Department of Finance, by the end of November 2025, the total disbursed public investment capital in 2025 reached VND 4,845.562 billion, equivalent to 44.71% of the total capital plan and 53.79% of the capital plan assigned in detail at the beginning of the year.
According to the assessment, Nghe An's disbursement progress in 2025 is significantly lower than the same period in 2024 (in 2024, Nghe An disbursed public investment capital at 69.31%). The main reason comes from the transition to a two-level local government model, causing hundreds of projects to transfer investors from the old district level to the commune - ward level. Many documents and procedures must be reviewed, while the capacity of some investors is still limited.
Along with that, many projects are facing difficulties in site clearance, planning adjustments or lack of capital, greatly affecting the ability to disburse. Notably, there are currently 127 public investment projects in backlog, unfinished or behind schedule in the province, many of which were approved by the old district level and are still unfinished, or have not even started construction.
Faced with this situation, Nghe An Provincial People's Committee has identified accelerating the disbursement of public investment capital as a key political task of the fourth quarter of 2025. The province has established a Public Investment Working Group; issued many telegrams and directives; required investors to develop monthly disbursement commitments and update results every 10 days for operation.
On November 26, the Provincial People's Committee issued Official Letter 13145/UBND-KT requesting a comprehensive review of 127 projects behind schedule. Departments, branches and People's Committees of communes and wards must assess the necessity, planning compliance and the ability to balance capital of each project to propose handling. For projects that are not really necessary or cannot be completely completed, the province requires a proposal to reduce the scale, determine technical stopping points or stop the project in accordance with regulations; at the same time, ensure that the completed items must be exploited effectively, avoiding waste.
For projects that have been allocated capital plans for 2025, the Provincial People's Committee requires investors to focus on site clearance, complete procedures and speed up construction progress. The assigned target is to disburse 100% of the capital plan for 2025; the unit that fails to complete it will be considered for capital transfer to a project with better progress.
Along with that, the Departments of Construction, Agriculture and Environment, Education and Training, Industry and Trade, Health, Science - Technology and Culture - Sports and Tourism are assigned to inspect the site, support to remove difficulties for contractors, and at the same time develop a handling plan for all backlog projects, report to the Provincial People's Committee before November 30.
The leaders of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that urging the disbursement of public investment capital is not only to complete the 2025 target but also contributes to promoting growth, improving infrastructure and creating momentum for socio-economic development in the period of 2026 - 2030.
