In the remaining months of 2025, the City will focus on implementing and disbursing 35 large-scale investment projects with a total capital of VND 58,623 billion, accounting for 49% of the City's total public investment capital plan in 2025 (VND 118,948 billion) and accounting for 82% of the total remaining capital to be disbursed in the last 6 months of the year.

The projects that will focus on disbursement include: upgrading and expanding National Highway 1 with an estimated disbursement of VND9,611 billion; the project to renovate and upgrade National Highway 22 with an estimated disbursement of VND6,234 billion; the project to upgrade the North-South axis road with an estimated disbursement of VND3,596 billion; the project to dredge, improve the environment, and build infrastructure for Van Thanh canal with an estimated disbursement of VND6,450 billion; the road connecting to Bien Hoa - Vung Tau expressway with an estimated disbursement of VND1,172 billion, etc.

To achieve the disbursement target of 100% or more by the end of 2025, the City will strengthen monitoring, urging, and shortening the time for handling procedures, especially for projects with large capital disbursement plans.

From now until the end of the year, the City will continue to direct the review of the disbursement progress of projects and flexibly implement the 2025 public investment plan to transfer capital from slow-moving projects that are not yet able to disburse capital immediately to projects that are able to disburse capital.

In particular, regarding discipline and order in disbursing public investment capital, the City will tighten and resolutely handle cases of delay due to subjective reasons.
