Specifically, during this session, the People's Council of Vinh city issued a resolution on the Public Investment Plan for 2024 with a total capital of over 3.347 trillion Vietnamese dong from the city's budget.

It clearly stipulates the principles, criteria, and allocation plan of the city's budget capital, ensuring priority order: allocating funds to settle overdue payments for basic construction (if any); allocating funds to recover remaining advanced capital that needs to be recovered in the medium-term public investment plan for the 2021-2025 period (if any); allocating funds for completed projects completed and put into use before December 31, 2023.

Subsequently, the city allocates funds for transitional projects that have exceeded the capital allocation time or must be completed in 2024 according to the allocated time, where projects that have surpassed the capital allocation time must provide specific explanations and propose an extension of the capital allocation period as stipulated.

It also allocates sufficient funds for investment preparation tasks, planning tasks, matching funds for projects using ODA (Official Development Assistance) and preferential loans from foreign sponsors, state investment capital participating in projects through public-private partnerships, and the central budget payment obligations. After allocating enough funds for the aforementioned projects, new construction projects were then allocated funds.

Accordingly, the total budget of over 3.347 trillion Vietnamese dong from the city's budget will be allocated to 389 projects, including 66 completed projects, 135 ongoing projects, 80 land fund exploitation projects, 45 investment preparation projects, and 63 new construction projects.
