Vietnam had disbursed an estimated VND425.3 trillion (approximately $16.3 billion) in public investment capital as of July 31, 2026, equivalent to 41.9% of the annual investment plan assigned by the Prime Minister, according to the Ministry of Finance.

Of the total, VND117.6 trillion came from the central government budget, representing 32.3% of the allocated amount, while VND307.8 trillion was disbursed from local government budgets, reaching 47.3% of their respective plans.

The ministry noted that the disbursement pace has improved significantly compared with the same period last year.

Despite the improvement, five ministries, sectors and localities have either disbursed less than 10% of their allocated funds or have yet to begin disbursement, underscoring the need to accelerate implementation during the remaining months of the year.

For 2026, the National Assembly approved and the Prime Minister assigned a total public investment plan of over VND1 quadrillion.
