HCM CITY AIMS HIGH WITH $3.5B IN PUBLIC INVESTMENT THIS YEAR
HCM City aims to fully disburse VNĐ84.4 trillion (US$3.5 billion) in public investment by the end of 2025, despite a slow start — only 6.9% disbursed as of April 25. City leaders are urging departments to accelerate fund allocation, targeting monthly disbursements of over VNĐ9.8 trillion to stay on track. Key focuses include: Fast-tracking infrastructure projects (e.g., Terminal T3 at Tân Sơn Nhất, Bến Lức–Long Thành expressway, Belt Roads 2 & 3, Metro Line 2). Improving governance and clearing administrative bottlenecks. Achieving double-digit economic growth in 2025. On a national level, public investment disbursement is also lagging at 15.6%, with the Deputy Prime Minister stressing the need for urgent action to meet the 100% target and support economic growth amid global trade challenges.
