As Dak Lak enters the final stretch of implementing its 2026 growth scenario, the province has identified the effective mobilisation, allocation and use of resources as a key priority. The aim is to translate resources from available potential, projects combined with investment commitments into productive capacity, thereby generating new growth momentum.

Under the Q4 2026 growth scenario, the province is targeting approximately 34.586 trillion VND in total social investment, with a view to bringing full-year investment to around 80.390 trillion VND.

The province is focusing on mobilising capital from State, non-State and foreign direct investment (FDI) sources, with particular emphasis on attracting non-State investment. In October 2026, province approved investment policies for four projects with total registered capital exceeding 28.211 trillion VND. To date, the province has recorded 52 projects with combined registered capital of more than 70.604 trillion VND. Moreover, 42 projects have undergone adjustments, including 14 that increased their investment capital by approximately 1.547 trillion VND.

According to the Department of Finance, the province will closely monitor implementation progress and classify projects according to their level of readiness, enabling appropriate management measures to be adopted alongside projects to become operational as soon as possible. This will also provide a basis for timely adjustments to the investment capital scenario. Conversely, projects that have yet to meet requirements regarding administrative procedures, site clearance and construction will not be counted towards secured investment capital. Specifically, the province has classified 150 projects into different groups. Of these, 38 have largely completed the required procedures and are ready for immediate disbursement; 66 have received investment policy approval as well as are proceeding with subsequent steps; 36 stalled projects have had their bottlenecks addressed, while 10 projects have been placed in reserve. PPC leaders are directly overseeing and directing 35 large-scale projects, while the Department of Finance and relevant agencies have been assigned to monitor progress on the remaining projects.

Alongside these efforts, the province is paying particular attention to accelerating projects along with investment memoranda of understanding (MOUs) awarded at the 2026 Planning Announcement and Investment Promotion Conference. Of the 104 projects together with MOUs signed, 12 are expected to drive growth during the final months of the year, with total registered capital of approximately 15.711 trillion VND. Among these, one project has become operational, another is under construction, two MOUs in the agricultural sector have resulted in actual production activities, and seven projects are expected to break ground in the Q4 of 2026.

Unlocking land, asset and stalled project resources

One of Dak Lak’s key sources of growth potential lies in land resources, public assets and projects facing difficulties coupled with obstacles. Of the 396 projects under review, comprising 196 non-State-funded projects and 200 public investment projects, 271 had their outstanding issues fully resolved by the end of October 2026, representing 68.43% of the total. These included 78 non-State-funded projects along with 193 public investment projects.

Simultaneously, efforts to reorganise and make effective use of public assets following the restructuring of administrative units together with the organisational apparatus have also been stepped up. To date, the province has completed the reorganisation and handling of 4,261 public property sites, including buildings alongside land plots. Of these, 937 sites have been designated by the provincial People's Committee for transfer to local authorities for management and use. Specifically, 88 sites have been assigned to the Land Fund Development Centre, while 849 have been handed over to commune- and ward-level People's Committees for management along with handling. Across the province, 913 sites have had their plans for disposal and utilisation finalised, equivalent to 97.4%.

He stressed that these assets must not be left unused, resulting in waste. Concurrently, comrade also called for faster land auction procedures to increase budget revenue and ensure land resources are utilised in accordance with approved plans alongside to their full potential.
