Regarding project extensions, he required investors to commit to implementation timelines in written reports to the Provincial People’s Committee.

The province will establish a council to review each project, and those approved for extensions must be implemented decisively and on schedule.

According to the Department of Finance, total local budget expenditure is projected at more than VNĐ 26 trillion, down VNĐ 1.5 trillion from the 2025 estimate, with recurrent spending accounting for about 75.1 per cent.

Delegates generally agreed with the proposed State budget revenue estimates and local budget allocations for 2026.

Chairman Giang requested the Department of Finance to review and refine the draft documents before submitting them to the Provincial People’s Committee for consideration and subsequent submission to the Provincial People’s Council.

*Also at the meeting, the Department of Finance presented the report on implementing the provincial five-year financial plan for 2021–2025 and the draft financial plan for 2026–2030.
