Public investment disbursement in the first two months of 2026 remained modest despite the year marking the start of the 2026–2030 public investment plan with record capital of over VND995 trillion (US$37.9 billion), rising to more than VND1 quadrillion when additional local allocations and extended funds are included.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on September 11 signed an official dispatch, urging ministries, agencies, and localities to step up the disbursement of public investment capital this year.

The total social investment capital disbursed during January – September rose 6.8% to some VND2.42 quadrillion (US$97.2 billion) on the back of a fall in lending interest rate, robust production growth, and the continuation of tax incentives, according to the General Statistics Office (GSO).

The disbursed capital sourced from the state budget topped VND291 trillion (US$12.3 billion) in the first seven months of 2023, equivalent to 41.3% of the yearly target and rising 22.1% from a year earlier, showing an observable improvement in public investment disbursement, said the General Statistics Office (GSO).

VOV.VN - Statistics recently unveiled by the Foreign Investment Agency (FIA) show registered FDI capital into the Vietnamese economy has fallen slightly while disbursed FDI capital has surged considerably this year.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) poured into Vietnam during the first quarter of 2021 increased compared to the same period last year despite complex developments of COVID-19, which was a relatively positive result but is not sustainable, an insider has said.
