According to a report by the Ministry of Finance, in 2026 Ninh Binh province was allocated over 34,700 billion VND of public investment capital, by the end of April 2026, Ninh Binh province had disbursed over 2,800 billion VND, reaching a rate of 8.1%, and is 1 of 18 provinces and cities with a disbursement rate lower than the national average.
Faced with the above situation, Ninh Binh Provincial People's Committee has issued a document directing departments, branches, localities and investors to improve their responsibility, considering disbursement of public investment capital as a key political task, a top priority in 2026.
Focus on leading, directing and organizing the drastic, synchronous, timely, and effective implementation of tasks and solutions to create clear changes in the disbursement of public investment capital, striving to disburse 100% of the capital plan for 2026.
The province requires units to specifically assign leaders to be in charge of each project, each stage of implementation. Cases of weak capacity, irresponsibility, and failure to meet requirements will be considered for replacement and handled according to their authority. Disbursement results will become an important criterion for evaluating the level of task completion, emulation, and commendation.
At the same time, further improve the quality of project investment preparation, especially the selection of truly necessary and effective investment projects, in accordance with planning, capital balancing capacity, ensuring thoroughness from project preparation, capital registration, planning, capital allocation, supervision, evaluation... Resolutely eliminate project registration that is "holding a place", the situation of "capital waiting for the project".
Along with that, functional agencies must promote administrative procedure reform, shorten project appraisal and approval time. Focus on removing obstacles in site clearance, material sources, acceptance procedures, and final settlement.
Investors must develop detailed disbursement plans weekly, monthly, quarterly and regularly review progress and report periodically. In case of delays, there must be immediate remedial solutions to avoid putting pressure on the last months of the year.
A strong solution proposed by Ninh Binh province is to classify projects according to disbursement progress, thereby transferring capital from slow projects to projects with better disbursement capacity. This is a measure to improve the efficiency of resource use and avoid wasting budget capital.
Previously, on April 24, in Hanoi, Politburo Member, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung chaired the National Conference to promote the allocation and disbursement of public investment capital in 2026.
