To promote socio-economic development and improve the infrastructure system, the Hai Phong City People's Committee has officially issued the public investment capital allocation plan for 2026. According to Decision No. 5068/QD-UBND signed on December 12, 2025, the city will mobilize significant resources to focus on key projects and national target programs.
Scale and Capital Allocation Plan
The total public investment capital plan from the city budget for 2026 is assigned at 36,791.5 billion VND. This capital source is specifically allocated to the following key task groups:
- Strategic transport infrastructure projects: 3,803.7 billion VND is allocated for site clearance and resettlement for the construction of the Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway (the section passing through the city).
- Urban and rural development: 1 billion VND is dedicated to the new rural development program for the 2021-2025 period, and over 6,166 billion VND is for targeted supplements to the commune level.
- Investment in transitional and new projects: The city prioritizes up to 22,362 billion VND for completed projects, transitional projects, and new projects starting in 2026.
- Social security: Providing 1,000 billion VND in entrusted capital through the Bank for Social Policies to implement preferential loan programs.
Notably, the city is strictly implementing the Central Government's directive to save 5% of the capital source, equivalent to approximately 1,839.5 billion VND.
Diverse Capital Structure
Hai Phong's investment resources for 2026 come from various sources, including the focused basic construction budget (6,114.7 billion VND), land use fees (28,960 billion VND), lottery funds, ODA loans, and particularly the issuance of Local Government Bonds with a scale of 1,094 billion VND.
Determined Organization and Implementation
To ensure the effective use of capital, Chairman of the City People's Committee Le Ngoc Chau has assigned specific tasks to various units:
- Department of Finance: Lead and coordinate the monitoring and urging of agencies to urgently complete investment procedures and report on the disbursement situation as prescribed.
- State Treasury: Strengthen control over the disbursement process, strictly handling cases of large overdue advances and a lack of active capital recovery.
- Investors: Must focus on reviewing and accelerating construction progress and completing final settlement records as soon as there is a completed volume for timely disbursement of the assigned capital plan.
The proactive and early assignment of the capital plan with a detailed project list is expected to help Hai Phong create a breakthrough in infrastructure construction, especially inter-regional connection transport routes, affirming its role as a growth driver for the Northern region.
