Avoid wasting public assets after restructuring.

Following the reorganization of administrative units and the implementation of a two-tiered local government model, many public assets, specifically the headquarters of provincial, district, and commune-level administrative agencies and units, have become surplus and unused, causing waste and detracting from urban aesthetics.

Prime Minister 's recent Directive No. 39/CD-TTg on accelerating the handling and exploitation of surplus houses and land after the reorganization of the administrative apparatus and units is a necessary step to tighten discipline in the management of public assets. The fact that the head of government clearly demands responsibility, timelines, and completion deadlines shows a determination not to accept procrastination and delays that leave many state assets abandoned, deteriorating, causing waste, and detracting from urban aesthetics.

In the directive, the Prime Minister instructed the Secretaries of Provincial and City Party Committees and the Chairmen of the People's Committees of provinces and cities to directly lead and direct the management, exploitation, and handling of surplus land and buildings under their management to ensure that the processing, exploitation, and use are completed in the second quarter of 2026, preventing damage, deterioration, and waste.
