Of this, 487.154 trillion VND (49.5%) comes from central and local budgets, while 496.186 trillion VND (50.5%) comes from other sources, with no FDI involvement.
Of the 198 projects, 32 are from 14 out of 18 ministries and ministerial-level agencies; 42 from 22 corporations and conglomerates; and 124 from 25 out of 34 localities. Notably, 5 are national key projects, 39 are Group A projects, 134 are Group B projects, and 20 are Group C projects.
