Financial agencies and the State Treasury organize the management of the State budget within the assigned budget, strictly control expenditures to ensure the correct purposes, standards, and prescribed regimes. Regarding land use fee revenue in management, State budget levels need to base on the assigned budget and actual collection progress. In case of expected revenue reduction compared to the estimate; at the same time, State budget levels cannot compensate from other increased revenue sources, they must proactively review, cut or delay the progress of projects and works arranged from this revenue source. Departments, branches and localities, based on Directive No. 1796/CT-UBND dated June 28, 2023 of the Provincial People's Committee on developing socio-economic development plans and State budget estimates for 2024, need to be proactive in preparing the contents of developing socio-economic indicators for 2024 and State budget estimates for 2024 to ensure quality and in accordance with the set requirements.
The socio-economic situation in the remaining months of 2023 is forecasted to face many difficulties, the state budget revenue situation at the district level is still very low, completing the state budget revenue and expenditure estimates for 2023 is an extremely difficult task, requiring high determination and great efforts. Therefore, all levels, sectors and localities must coordinate, propose effective measures and solutions, and focus more drastically on implementation to successfully complete the state budget revenue task in 2023./.
