Plan for the medium-term public investment in the 2026-2030 period is expected to create room for growth, promote the completion of strategic infrastructure, and enhance the efficiency of state resources in the new development phase.
Speaker of the National Assembly Tran Thanh Man has signed Resolution No. 27/2026/QH16 on the medium-term public investment plan for 2026-2030.
The plan is expected to create room for growth, promote the completion of strategic infrastructure, and improve the efficiency of public investment to drive rapid and sustainable economic growth. It aims to strengthen the role of public investment as a driver of growth and an integrated, modern infrastructure system that serves economic development, social welfare, defense, and security.
Along with those goals is reform of public investment management, ensuring allocation, management and use of public investment capital based on the assessment of economic-social efficiency, infrastructure capacity growth, and living standards improvements for the people.
Specific targets include:
The National Assembly approved a total plan capital for public investment from the state budget in 2026-2030 of 8.22 quadrillion dong, including 3.8 quadrillion dong from the central budget and 4.42 quadrillion dong from local budgets.
A 10% contingency is set for central budget public investment to handle arising issues during the plan period, as prescribed by the law on public investment and the state budget.
A contingency plan for local-budget public investment in 2026-2030 will be decided by the people’s councils at their levels, under legal provisions.
The National Assembly assigns the Government to guide the implementation and allocate capital to projects according to outputs, linking to socio-economic accounting and evaluating investment efficiency as prescribed.
The Government is also tasked with completing dossiers and presenting priority national projects to the National Assembly for consideration, and expediting the issuance of guiding documents to implement national target programs to ensure efficient execution. It will also organize allocation and funding for each national target program across ministries and localities.
The National Assembly directs the Government to coordinate measures for implementing the five-year public investment plan for 2026-2030, and to inspect and strictly handle violations.
Regarding local-budget funds, localities are to plan annual public investment in line with their revenue capacity, ensuring no increase in annual local budget overspending.
