Vietnam's public investment disbursement gathered pace in June, with the value of funds released nearly doubling from the previous month as many major infrastructure projects entered peak construction, according to the Ministry of Finance.
Public investment disbursement in June was estimated at VND137.6 trillion ($5.3 billion), marking the highest monthly figure so far this year, as a result.
As of June 30, total public investment disbursement nationwide had reached VND356.9 trillion, equivalent to 35.5% of the annual plan assigned by the Prime Minister. While the disbursement rate was broadly unchanged from the same period last year, the total amount disbursed increased by more than VND38.4 trillion, reflecting the expansion of public investment.
Monthly data showed a clear acceleration in implementation during the first half of the year. Disbursement rose from VND34.0 trillion in April to VND75.1 trillion in May before surging to nearly VND137.6 trillion in June.
Transport infrastructure development remained one of the government's top priorities. By the end of June, disbursement for key transport projects had reached VND59.3 trillion, equivalent to 24.2% of the allocated annual budget, as authorities sought to accelerate the construction of strategic infrastructure to support long-term economic growth.
