The meeting is co-chaired by comrade Nguyen Manh Quyen, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee, and comrade Nguyen Le Huy, Member of the Provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board and Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee. 

The meeting was co-chaired by comrade Nguyen Le Huy, Member of the Provincial Party Committee’s Standing Board and Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee. In the attendance were leaders of relevant departments, sectors, and units, and the Party Committee Secretaries and Chairmen of the People’s Committees of communes and wards that have failed to meet the disbursement rate requirements stipulated in Directive No. 11/CT-UBND issued by the Provincial People’s Committee.

According to the report of the Department of Finance, the total public investment plan of the province in 2026 amounts to 54,934.1 billion VND. Of this, the capital plan assigned by the Prime Minister in 2026 is 43,452.6 billion VND; following a 5% savings reduction from local budget funds, the remaining capital stands at 41,325.5 billion VND. Other funding sources include: 142.3 billion VND from provincial budget reserves, support from the Hanoi municipal budget, and on-lent loans managed at the provincial level; and 6,510.1 billion VND derived from revenue surpluses, expenditure savings, budget balances, and other sources allocated by the commune level. The capital amount extended from 2025 to 2026 totals 6,956.2 billion VND.

As of November 5, the entire province has disbursed 30,636.2 billion VND, ranking the 4th nationwide in terms of absolute disbursement value. Of this, 28,305.6 billion VND was disbursed from the 2026 planned capital, reaching 68.5% of the target assigned by the Prime Minister (after accounting for a 5% reduction in the local budget) and 56.9% of the target assigned by the local authority. For projects managed at the commune level, 13,945.6 billion VND has been disbursed, representing 65.5% of the target assigned by the Provincial People’s Committee and 50.2% of the implementation plan set at the commune level. However, 41 out of 104 commune-level project management units have recorded disbursement rates below the provincial average.

During the meeting, delegates focused on analyzing and evaluating the results of public investment capital disbursement over the first 10 months of 2026. They clarified the difficulties, obstacles, and bottlenecks encountered during implementation, particularly in localities with low disbursement rates, while proposing solutions and defining specific tasks to accelerate the progress of public investment implementation and disbursement over the final two months of the year. 

Speaking at the meeting, comrade Nguyen Manh Quyen, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, emphasized that although the province ranks the fourth nationwide in terms of the absolute value of disbursed capital, the disbursement rate has yet to meet the established requirements and targets. This indicates that the pace of disbursement is insufficient, necessitating a serious assessment by all levels, sectors, and localities to accurately evaluate performance, identify the root causes, and assign responsibility, thereby developing effective solutions.

Comrade Nguyen Manh Quyen, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, delivers directives at the meeting.

The Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee urged local Party committees and authorities to exercise greater decisiveness in their leadership, direction, and implementation efforts. He called for the adoption of new management methods and the enhancement of accountability among heads of agencies and units. Furthermore, he stressed the importance of proactive coordination with provincial departments and sectors to promptly resolve obstacles, particularly those concerning investment procedures, site clearance, construction execution, and capital disbursement. The objective is to achieve 100% of the public investment disbursement plan in 2026, ensuring that persistent challenges do not hinder overall progress.

Regarding specific tasks, he directed the Department of Finance to continue leveraging the effectiveness of existing working groups, while providing increasing guidance and support to localities facing difficulties in project implementation. The Department of Finance is also tasked with working closely with the State Treasury to assist localities and project owners in finalizing payment documentation and procedures, ensuring that disbursements are carried out in a timely manner and in full compliance with the law. The Department of Home Affairs is responsible for monitoring and consolidating the implementation results of key tasks across departments, sectors, and localities, including the disbursement of public investment capital. Disbursement performance shall serve as a critical criterion for evaluating the leadership, direction, management, and execution capabilities of collectives and individuals, particularly the heads of agencies, units, and localities.

The Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee has tasked the Department of Finance with reviewing, assessing, and balancing the overall medium-term public investment plan for the 2026–2030 period, as well as developing a public investment plan for 2027 and subsequent years. This process must prioritize improving the quality of investment preparation, site clearance, and resettlement arrangements to ensure that, upon approval, projects are fully prepared for implementation, thereby minimizing delays caused by incomplete procedures or unmet prerequisites.

Regarding resettlement, local authorities are urged to proactively plan and invest in the construction of resettlement areas with comprehensive infrastructure to meet the requirements of local projects. Simultaneously, they should focus on developing social housing and rental housing, while also organizing land auctions to generate resources for development investment. In terms of site clearance, localities must strengthen dissemination and advocacy efforts to build public consensus; apply compensation and support policies, as stipulated by regulation, in a proactive and flexible manner, ensuring the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of land users.

Furthermore, the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee has directed the Department of Finance to collaborate with relevant agencies to study and propose a payment mechanism based on the actual volume of the completed work. This ensures that as projects or specific components are finished, they can be inspected and paid for in accordance with regulations, thereby preventing a backlog of payment documentation and procedures toward the end of the year. Additionally, the Department is tasked with guiding project owners to proactively prepare and finalize settlement dossiers immediately upon project completion, addressing the persistent issue of settlement delays that often span multiple years. 

Fully grasping the directives provided by the Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee, the leaders of the communes and wards present at the meeting pledged to focus their leadership and oversight on conducting a comprehensive set of measures. They committed to striving for the completion of 100% of the assigned public investment disbursement targets within their respective jurisdictions, thereby contributing to the province’s overall goal of achieving a 100% disbursement rate for its public investment plan in 2026.
