    Public investment disbursement reaches only 35.5% of the plan

    By June 30, 2026, Viet Nam had disbursed nearly 357 trillion VND in public investment capital, reaching 35.5% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister. Although the value of disbursed capital increased by more than 38 trillion VND compared with the same period last year, progress remains hampered by various challenges, particularly site clearance, the supply of construction materials, and the progress of several key projects.
