The government said that the total state budget revenue in the first four months is estimated at more than VND944,000 billion, equal to 48% of the estimate, up 26.3% over the same period in 2024. Meanwhile, total budget expenditure is estimated at more than VND595,000 billion, equal to 23.4% of the estimate, up 15.2%.

The Politburo agrees to expand the scope of early retirement benefits under Decree 178.

The handling of a number of expenditure tasks arising in the management of the state budget was also submitted by the Government to the National Assembly, aiming to implement major policies this year such as striving for GDP growth in 2025 of over 8%, reorganizing the state apparatus, making breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation, and exempting tuition fees...

In particular, the Government proposed to supplement the 2025 central budget estimate to pay for regimes and policies for cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers when implementing the arrangement and consolidation of the organizational apparatus.

Specifically, the Government proposed that the National Assembly allow the use of VND 15,710 billion from the salary reform fund to adjust the basic salary level in 2024, with the remaining amount transferred to 2025, to supplement the budget for ministries, central and local agencies to pay benefits and policies to subjects specified in Decrees 178 and 67 of the Government.

The Government proposed that the National Assembly allow the addition of VND 28,290 billion to the central budget revenue estimate for 2025 from the accumulated source for salary reform, and at the same time, the corresponding addition to the central budget expenditure estimate for 2025 for ministries, central and local agencies to pay regimes and policies to subjects specified in Decree 178 and Decree 67 of the Government according to the salary reform implementation mechanism.

The Government proposed that the National Assembly assign the Government to organize the implementation of the above-mentioned budget of VND 44,000 billion in accordance with the provisions of the State Budget Law and Law No. 56/2024/QH15 amending and supplementing the State Budget Law.

In case the above source of 44,000 billion VND is used up, to proactively provide additional sources for localities, the Government will submit to the National Assembly for permission to use the remaining accumulated fund for salary reform expenditure of the central budget in 2024 to supplement localities, assign the Government to organize the implementation and report to the National Assembly the implementation results at the nearest session.

In addition, the Government proposed transferring the unallocated regular expenditure budget for 2024 to 2025 to have resources to implement the tuition exemption policy and perform tasks arising from the reorganization of the apparatus.

According to the Government's calculations, the central budget's need to support localities in implementing the tuition exemption policy (according to preliminary data from the Ministry of Education and Training) is about 10,000 billion VND, of which in 2025 alone (4 months of the 2025-2026 school year) it is about 4,500 billion VND.

According to the Government's report, there is also a need for funding to relocate new headquarters, repair headquarters, information infrastructure systems, etc. for ministries, central and local agencies after the merger.

Therefore, based on the estimated source of regular budget expenditure in 2024 allocated in areas not allocated at the beginning of the year, about 6,623 billion VND remains, the Government submitted to the National Assembly for permission to transfer the source to 2025 to implement the tuition exemption policy and perform tasks arising from the reorganization of the apparatus.
