Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Duc, Deputy Director of the Dak Nong Provincial Finance Department, stated that the province has allocated a total of VND 4,098 billion for public investment this year, including over VND 420 billion from the 2024 budget. However, only VND 430 billion, or 11.7% of the plan, has been disbursed so far. Notably, local budget capital achieved nearly 17%, while central budget capital and ODA sources reached over 9% and 3%, respectively.

Dak Nong General Hospital has disbursed only VND 3.8 billion out of the allocated VND 270.4 billion.
Six investors have disbursed zero dong, including the Departments of Education and Training; Culture, Sports, and Tourism; the Provincial Youth Union; the Provincial Organization Committee; the Political School; and the Community College.
Mr. Duc mentioned several key projects facing disbursement challenges. Specifically, the Dao Nghia – Quang Khe Road project, phase 2, with a total investment of VND 830 billion, was allocated more than VND 285 billion this year, but the investor has not reported any disbursement figures.
The Dak Nong General Hospital project, with a total investment of over VND 750 billion, has only disbursed over VND 3.8 billion out of the VND 270 billion allocated for this year.
The situation is similarly challenging for the Central Square project in Gia Nghia city, with a total investment of VND 400 billion. Despite allocating over VND 140 billion in 2025, only over VND 1 billion has been disbursed, amounting to just over 1% of the plan.
Mr. Duc emphasized that the primary cause of these delays is the challenges in site clearance and land supply.
Many investors are slow in finalizing their documents and payment procedures with the treasury. Additionally, the non-cooperation of residents in measurement and compensation processes has also hindered progress.
At a recent conference evaluating socio-economic, defense, and security situations and deploying key tasks for the next month, Mr. Ho Van Muoi, Chairman of the Dak Nong Provincial People’s Committee, stated that the obstacles in investment had been addressed.
“Regarding the disbursement of public investment capital, we have agreed that there are no more difficulties; it’s just a matter of taking action. We have shared the challenges, so it’s up to the investors now. If they don’t accomplish their tasks, it will be very difficult,” said Mr. Muoi. He instructed the Department of Home Affairs to monitor and evaluate cases where investors fail to fulfill their responsibilities.
