In 2026, the Prime Minister allocated more than VND27 trillion in public investment capital to Dong Nai City. Following a 5% saving on the capital plan, which was transferred to the Central Government to supplement funding for the Lao Cai–Hanoi–Hai Phong railway project, the remaining capital plan allocated in detail to the city's projects exceeded VND25.8 trillion.

Public investment disbursement exceeds national average

According to a report submitted by the Ministry of Finance to the Prime Minister on the allocation and disbursement of the State-funded public investment, as of June 25, 2026, the country had disbursed nearly VND300 trillion out of over VND1 quadrillion in the State-funded public investment plan assigned by the Prime Minister, equivalent to more than 29% of the total plan.

The Ministry of Finance reported that, as of June 25, Dong Nai City had disbursed more than VND8.5 trillion, equivalent to more than 31% of the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister. The city's disbursement rate was therefore higher than the national average, placing Dong Nai City among the 27 ministries, agencies, and localities that achieved a disbursement rate at or above the national average.

During the 12 days following June 25, Dong Nai City disbursed an additional VND2.2 trillion in public investment capital. According to the Department of Finance, as of July 3, the city had disbursed more than VND10.7 trillion, reaching more than 39.6% of the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister. Based on the remaining capital after the 5% saving was transferred to the Central Government, the city's public investment disbursement rate reached more than 41.6% of the assigned capital plan.

Efforts underway for full capital disbursement

Truong Thi Huong Binh, Member of the City Party Committee’s Standing Board and Director of the Department of Finance, said the city leadership has attached great importance to public investment disbursement and has regularly held working sessions with project owners and the People's Committees of wards and communes to review implementation progress. On June 18, Nguyen Van Ut, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee and Chairman of the City People's Committee, issued a notice directing relevant units to continue striving to achieve a minimum disbursement rate of 70–80% of the assigned capital plan by September 30, at least 90% by November 30, and 100% by December 31.

According to the Department of Finance’s leader, to achieve this target, project owners and the People's Committees of wards and communes must continue accelerating capital disbursement while closely monitoring the implementation progress of each project. They must also strengthen coordination in site clearance to prevent delays to construction schedules. In particular, commune-level People's Committees are required to take greater responsibility for compensation and site clearance for projects directly assigned by the City People's Committee, especially key projects.

The Department of Finance reported that, as of July 3, among the 46 project owners assigned capital plans by the City People's Committee, five had achieved a disbursement rate of more than 90%, nine had reached 60–90%, seven had recorded 50–60%, 13 had attained 40–50%, four had achieved 30–40%, and eight remained below 30% of their assigned plans. Of the eight units with a disbursement rate below 30%, four were newly assigned capital plans in May and June 2026.

Nguyen Van Anh, Chairman of the Tam Hiep Ward People's Committee, said four key projects are currently under implementation in the ward. The locality has completed the handover of land for the Cai River riverside road project, the road connecting the 6.2-hectare resettlement area with Tran Quoc Toan Street, and the 3-hectare resettlement area in the locality. For the Tan Mai–Thong Nhat Resettlement Area Project, site clearance has also been completed, and procedures are being carried out to hand over the land to the project owner for implementation.

In Dong Phu Ward, nearly VND78 billion in public investment capital was allocated in 2026 for the implementation of five projects. As of July 3, the locality had disbursed more than VND39 billion, equivalent to more than 50% of the assigned plan. According to Ho Hung Phi, Chairman of the Dong Phu Ward People's Committee, based on the planned implementation schedule, the locality expects to complete the disbursement of all allocated capital for 2026 by the end of October.
