Vietnam’s public investment efforts are gaining significant results, with total capital disbursed in the first six months of 2025 estimated at over VND268.1 trillion ($10.23 billion), according to a new report from the Ministry of Finance (MoF).

The figure accounted for 29.6% of the yearly plan and 32.5% of the target assigned by the Prime Minister, marking a stronger pace than the same period last year when disbursement stood at 26.4% of the plan and 28.2% of the Government’s allocation.

During the period, 10 ministries and central agencies, and 37 provinces and centrally-run cities (these are former provinces and cities before the announcement of the merger of local administrative units on June 30, 2025) recorded disbursement rates meeting or exceeding the national average.

Exceptional disbursement rates were seen in such localities as Phu Tho (85.7%), Ha Tinh (75.6%), Lao Cai (66.6%), Thai Nguyen (51%), and Nam Dinh (50.4%).
