HANOI: Vietnam disbursed more than 755 trillion Vietnamese dong (about US$28.73 billion) in public investment capital by the end of 2025, accounting for 83.7 per cent of the Prime Minister's assigned plan, the Vietnam News Agency reported Friday (Jan 9).

Presiding over a national conference the same day, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that the result was 206.6 trillion Vietnamese dong higher than a year earlier, yet still lagging behind requirements.

He added that there are only 20 days remaining before the end of January 2026 to complete the disbursement of the 2025 plan, while authorities must also begin implementing the 2026 public investment package worth nearly 995.4 trillion Vietnamese dong to support the double-digit growth target. - Xinhua
