Coordinate to remove obstacles and difficulties
Determining that public investment plays an important role in local socio-economic development, the province has proactively implemented many solutions to effectively organize investment and disburse capital since the first months of the year. Investors in the area have joined in vigorously, proactively coordinating to remove obstacles and difficulties in implementation.
In 2025, Can Duoc district, Long An province is allocated about 330 billion VND to implement 121 projects and works. Of which, the provincial budget will cover nearly 24.9 billion VND to implement 4 works; The capital of the National Target Program on New Rural Construction will cover over 12.9 billion VND to implement 18 projects, and the district capital will cover 290 billion VND to implement 99 projects. By the end of April 2025, the province's capital disbursement was over 10.3 billion VND, reaching nearly 42% of the plan; the capital disbursement of the National Target Program on New Rural Construction reached nearly 40% of the plan; the district's capital disbursed more than 35% of the plan.
According to the Chairman of the People's Committee of Can Duoc district - Dao Huu Tan, the investment work as well as capital disbursement were focused on by the district and in the first months of the year, all progress was achieved according to the set plan. To ensure and accelerate the implementation and disbursement of capital, the district will focus on settling and paying for completed acceptance projects and urgently speeding up the progress of projects under construction to accept the volume and make payment.
In addition, the locality will adjust the public investment plan, reduce the capital plan for projects that are temporarily suspended according to the province's policy, projects with surplus capital after determining the settlement value will be transferred to supplement capital to completed projects, and projects with insufficient capital. At the same time, the locality will also do a good job of transferring and directing investors to arrange documents to prepare for handover to the new unit when the district level is dissolved.

In addition, with projects under investment, the unit focuses on coordinating with investors and localities to remove obstacles and difficulties to ensure project progress as well as payment and settlement according to plan. Representative of the construction unit of package 3 (Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project, section through Long An province) - Nguyen Dinh Hung said: “The unit has received attention and direction from local authorities and investors in the issue of progress and capital disbursement. Every day, about 70-80 people work continuously to ensure the progress. The entire collective and construction workers are working hard and the expressway connecting branches are being paved to put into operation. When the construction unit meets the volume, it will closely coordinate with the investor to pay and settle according to the plan”.
Strive to disburse at least 50% of the capital plan
Although the province's implementation and capital disbursement work has been focused on and resolutely implemented, there are still certain difficulties and limitations; the capital disbursement rate is much lower than the same period. By the end of April 2025, the province had allocated more than 8,945 billion VND in public investment capital for 2025, disbursed more than 1,652 billion VND, reaching 17.1% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, reaching 18.47% of the plan allocated by the Provincial People's Committee.
Of which, the district's capital managed more than 2,335 billion VND, disbursed more than 830 billion VND, reaching 35.56% of the plan; the province's capital managed more than 6,610 billion VND, disbursed more than 821 billion VND, reaching 12.44% of the plan.

According to the Director of the Provincial Construction Investment Project Management Board - Nguyen Van Hung, in the first months of the year, the unit's investment implementation and disbursement of capital were still low, not meeting the requirements and plans. The board focused on coordinating with departments, branches and localities to remove obstacles to implement the project according to plan.
The board requested contractors to proactively arrange means, machinery and human resources to construct according to the contract schedule, speed up completion. At the same time, the board strengthened inspection and review work, promptly resolved arising issues at the construction site, created favorable conditions for construction, and put the projects into use as planned, creating momentum for the province in socio-economic development.
Facing the shortcomings and limitations in implementation, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee - Huynh Van Son requested departments, branches, localities, and investors to coordinate closely, remove obstacles and difficulties to deploy investment as well as disburse capital according to the plan. In particular, the province requires investors to focus, be more determined, speed up the implementation and disbursement progress, strive to disburse at least 50% of the capital plan by the second quarter of 2025.
Some investors urgently complete related documents and procedures in accordance with regulations, submit to the Provincial People's Committee for approval of investment decisions for projects to be eligible for capital allocation. The Department of Finance monitors and submits to the Provincial People's Committee for immediate capital allocation to projects when the conditions are met. Provincial departments and branches, according to their assigned functions, tasks, authorities, and responsibilities, proactively and actively support and resolve difficulties and problems for investors in the process of performing their tasks.
In addition, heads of provincial departments, branches, and investors regularly propagate and mobilize cadres and civil servants to focus on performing assigned tasks, continue to promote and uphold the Prime Minister's direction. Periodically, every week, month, quarter, provincial departments, branches, and investors report the implementation results to the Department of Finance for synthesis and reporting to the Provincial People's Committee. In addition, the units proactively coordinate to urgently implement the following projects: Project to create clean land fund for Provincial Road 830E, early handover of resettlement lots to carry out site clearance for Provincial Road 830E, Project to upgrade Provincial Road 830C, etc./.
