The Astonishing Numbers Behind Tay Ninh’s Projects

West Ninh Expedites Capital Disbursement and Key Project Implementation

According to Mr. Truong Van Liep, Director of the Tay Ninh Provincial Department of Finance, the total plan for public investment capital from the state budget in 2025 is VND 15,697 billion. As of early July 2025, the province had disbursed VND 7,491 billion, achieving nearly 48% of the plan, higher than the national average.

Impressive figures for major projects

Out of the 48 investors (including 25 units from the former Long An and 23 from the former Tay Ninh), 22 units disbursed over 50% of the allocated capital.

Several large projects with high capital allocation have achieved impressive disbursement rates. These include Component Project 4 – Compensation, Support, and Resettlement for the Ho Chi Minh City-Moc Bai Expressway passing through Tay Ninh province, with VND 1,504 billion allocated and VND 1,348 billion disbursed, achieving nearly 90%; the improvement and upgrade of Provincial Road 830C, with VND 1,000 billion allocated and VND 819 billion disbursed, reaching nearly 82%; and the Truong Chinh Road project – from Provincial Road 781 to April 30 Road, with VND 342 billion disbursed out of a total capital of VND 435 billion, attaining 79%.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hung, Director of the Long An Project Management Unit, shared that the unit is currently the investor for 76 projects under the 2025 public investment plan, with a total capital of over VND 5,701 billion. By the end of July, they had disbursed more than VND 2,032 billion, equivalent to 35.65% of the plan.

Mr. Hung added that several projects are in the bidding process, such as the road leading to the three bridges on Provincial Road 827E, with an allocation of VND 200 billion and expected to commence on August 19, 2025. Additionally, the package for the procurement of artificial kidney machines and emergency equipment worth VND 72 billion is preparing to open bidding in August 2025.

Furthermore, the province is expediting the completion of procedures for compensation payments to residents affected by significant projects, including the road leading to the three bridges on Provincial Road 827E (allocated VND 1,575 billion), land clearance for Provincial Road 830E (VND 93 billion), and land clearance to create a clean land fund for resettlement and urban development along Provincial Road 830E (VND 249 billion).

Some projects that were facing obstacles regarding materials and land clearance, such as the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 and Provincial Road 823D, have resolved these issues. This will facilitate faster implementation and disbursement.

Resolving bottlenecks

According to Mr. Hung, in the coming time, the unit will continue to coordinate with departments, sectors, and localities to review each specific project, focusing on removing bottlenecks in site clearance and accelerating the progress of projects with low disbursement rates. At the same time, they will urge contractors to adhere to the committed schedule, ensuring the quality of the works and transparency in investment capital management.

In a recent working session with departments, sectors, and localities, Mr. Nguyen Van Ut, Chairman of the Tay Ninh Provincial People’s Committee, requested close coordination and efficient implementation of assigned tasks. He emphasized the need to resolve any bottlenecks related to public investment capital disbursement promptly. The province aims to disburse at least 75% by the end of the third quarter and complete 100% of the plan by the end of the year.

To achieve this goal, investors must review the entire volume of work completed, finalize acceptance procedures, and establish payment procedures in accordance with regulations. Disbursement must be linked to controlling the quality of construction works, ensuring construction safety, and preventing waste, negativity, and corruption.

Tay Ninh province has also established two task forces to monitor and urge the progress of key projects, promptly address difficulties, and process slow procedures or report to competent authorities for resolution. In their direction and administration, the provincial leaders emphasize the requirement of “6 clear” (clear person, clear job, clear responsibility, clear authority, clear time, and clear result).

The investor units strengthen their responsibilities, work decisively and conclusively on each content, and avoid stagnation and prolongation. Inspection and supervision are enhanced, especially for large-scale and key national projects and inter-regional works.
