Extend the period of stabilizing the state budget for the 2022-2025 period to 2026

In the recently passed Resolution, the National Assembly resolved: total central budget revenue in 2026 is 1,225,356 billion VND; total central budget expenditure is 1,809,056 billion VND. Of which, the estimate is 238,421 billion VND to supplement the local budget balance; the estimate is 53,554 billion VND to supplement localities to ensure the implementation of the basic salary level of 2.34 million VND/month; the estimate is 187,175 billion VND to supplement the local budget target.

Regarding the allocation of the central budget in 2026, the Resolution decides to extend the period of stabilizing the state budget for the period 2022 - 2025 to 2026, and divide revenues between the central and local levels, including revenues from granting water resource exploitation rights and environmental protection taxes on gasoline and oil products as in 2025; and separately, land use fees and land rents are collected according to the provisions of the State Budget Law in 2025.

Continue to implement the principle of support from the central budget for local budgets to implement social security policies issued by the central government for the period 2022 - 2025 according to the Prime Minister 's decision. In which, localities receive additional balance from the central budget, localities have the rate of regulating revenue allocation to the central budget determined on the basis of the 2025 budget estimate after the arrangement of provincial administrative units.

Also according to the Resolution, the additional balance amount will be increased by 3% compared to the 2025 budget estimate so that localities have more resources to meet important spending tasks arising during the extended year of the budget stabilization period. Increase 319 billion VND for Khanh Hoa province's budget to implement Resolution No. 227/2025/QH15 of the National Assembly and add 168 billion VND to Quang Ngai province's budget to ensure the regular expenditure estimate for 2026 due to the adjustment of land rent revenue to the central budget.

Allocate resources to implement adjustments to public sector salaries, pensions, preferential allowances for meritorious people and some social policies.

Previously, Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang presented a report on receiving and explaining opinions of National Assembly deputies, opinions of the National Assembly Standing Committee, and the review of the Economic and Financial Committee on the assessment of the implementation of the state budget in 2025, the state budget estimate, central budget allocation, public investment plan in 2026, the 3-year state budget-finance plan for 2026 - 2028, the national 5-year financial plan, the medium-term public investment plan, and the public borrowing and debt repayment plan for 2026 - 2030.

Accordingly, the Government has closely coordinated with the Standing Committee of the National Assembly's Economic and Financial Committee to review, revise and directly complete the draft Resolutions of the National Assembly, ensuring consistency with the policies and conclusions of the Party and State and legal provisions.

Regarding the content related to the plan to adjust public sector salaries, pensions, preferential allowances for meritorious people and some social policies (Article 3 of the draft Resolution on the state budget estimate for 2026), the Minister of Finance said that the Government Party Committee has submitted Document No. 06-TTr/DU dated October 29, 2025 to the Politburo for consideration and decision on the implementation plan. The central budget allocation plan submitted to the National Assembly has allocated resources to implement this content.

Regarding the exclusions when calculating the increase in local budget revenue compared to the estimate for salary policy reform, the Government basically inherits the provisions in Resolution No. 34/2021/QH15 as implemented in recent years, only reviewing and removing the provisions allowing the exclusion of environmental protection fees for mineral exploitation because they are no longer a revenue item associated with specific spending tasks and adjusting the sentence and wording on the one-time land rent collection advanced by investors for compensation, support, and resettlement to be consistent with the provisions of the 2024 Land Law.
