(laichau.gov.vn) From 2026, the National Assembly assigned the Government to proactively use accumulated resources for salary reform to ensure the implementation of salary, allowance and income regimes according to regulations.

Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Nguyen Duc Hai chaired the meeting.

The Government proactively uses accumulated resources for salary reform to ensure the implementation of salary, allowance and income regimes.

Continuing the program of the 10th Session of the 15th National Assembly, on the afternoon of November 13, the National Assembly voted to pass the Resolution on the state budget estimate for 2026. In particular, from 2026, the National Assembly assigned the Government to proactively use accumulated resources for salary reform to ensure the implementation of salary, allowance and income regimes according to regulations.

Before voting, the National Assembly listened to Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long present a summary report explaining, accepting and revising the draft Resolution on the state budget estimate for 2026.

Next, the National Assembly voted electronically. Result: 419/420 delegates voted in favor (accounting for 88.4%), the National Assembly passed the Resolution on the state budget estimate for 2026.

Accordingly, regarding the state budget estimate for 2026, the Resolution clearly states the budget revenue, expenditure, and state budget deficit for 2026.

Regarding the management of the state budget in 2025, the Government directed to review the use of central budget funds assigned to ministries, central and local agencies to implement policies and regimes for cadres, civil servants, public employees, workers and armed forces in the implementation of the organizational arrangement of the political system, and by the end of 2025, if not fully used, to recover and return the accumulated salary reform funds of the central budget.

Regarding the implementation of salary and social policies, the Resolution assigns the Government to review the budget for saving on regular operating expenses (salary and operating expenses according to the law) due to streamlining the payroll and reorganizing the apparatus to implement the 2-level local government model; allowing localities to use this saved budget to supplement the salary reform source of the local budget.

From 2026, the Government will proactively use accumulated resources for salary reform to ensure the implementation of salary, allowance and income regimes according to regulations.

State budget revenue estimates are positive and breakthrough while ensuring national financial security and safety.

Regarding the review of the State budget revenue estimates for 2026, Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long said that the 2026 budget was built closely following the economic growth targets and the draft documents of the 14th National Congress at a positive and breakthrough level.

The growth rate of domestic revenue from production and business, from import-export revenue, and allocation of resources for investment and regular expenditure tasks are all at the highest level ever.

However, the world situation is forecast to continue to fluctuate rapidly and is difficult to predict accurately. The political, economic and social situation in some countries and regions in the world may affect the domestic socio-economy.

Therefore, it is necessary to be cautious, ensuring security and safety for the national finance. If the budget is built at a higher level, it may pose great risks and challenges in the implementation.

Regarding the delegates' suggestion to continue reviewing the 2026 budget estimate more actively, especially the State budget revenue, to overcome the problem of inaccurate forecasts, Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long affirmed that the Government will maintain the plan reported to the National Assembly.

“In implementation, the Government will resolutely direct the collection work, ensuring correct, full and timely collection, closely following the actual situation, controlling risks and promoting digital transformation to strive to achieve the highest targets set.

At the same time, absorbing the opinions of National Assembly deputies, the draft resolution on the State budget estimate set a target of striving for the State budget revenue in 2026 to increase by at least 10% compared to the estimated implementation in 2025" - Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long said.

In addition, all increased revenue will be fully and promptly accounted for, and at the end of the year, a plan will be developed to use the increased revenue in accordance with the provisions of the State Budget Law. In particular, it will be mainly used for development investment, creating sources for salary reform and important and urgent tasks.

Regarding the disbursement of public investment capital, agreeing with the opinions of the delegates that public investment disbursement is still an unsolved and unsolved bottleneck, affecting the efficiency of capital use, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that although the law on public investment has been focused on amending, promoting decentralization and decentralization thoroughly and comprehensively to ministries and localities, and converting the method of public investment management from pre-inspection to post-inspection.

The Party and State leaders have given regular and continuous direction, and all levels and sectors have made great efforts, but the disbursement rate has not met expectations, stemming from many reasons, including subjective factors in implementation and objective factors from external factors.

However, the Deputy Prime Minister commented: “ The disbursement rate has improved compared to the same period last year. By the end of October 2025, the disbursement of public investment capital from the beginning of the year was 491 trillion VND, reaching 54.4% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister, 3.5% higher in proportion and 144.9 trillion VND in absolute number compared to the same period in 2024”.

In the coming time, the Government will continue to focus on directing ministries, branches and localities to urgently overcome the above limitations and shortcomings, determined to strive to complete the disbursement rate of public investment capital in 2025 to reach the target of 100% of the assigned plan.

Continue to review and perfect legal regulations, promote the activities of working groups, improve the quality of preparation and implementation of construction investment, speed up site clearance progress, and strictly handle violations of legal regulations on public investment.

Prioritize investment and development spending to serve economic growth goals.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long, some delegates suggested that it is necessary to review the State budget expenditure estimates, prioritize development investment expenditures, serve the economic growth target, review regular expenditures, and ensure savings and efficiency.

With this opinion, the Government believes that the 2026 State budget expenditure estimate has been carefully reviewed by the Government and directed by the Ministries and branches, built on the principle of prioritizing the allocation of development investment expenditure, serving the goal of economic growth.

Capital allocation focuses on key projects, prioritizing projects in the documents of the 14th National Party Congress, expressway and high-speed railway projects, and projects with breakthrough characteristics in socio-economic development.

“ Prioritize the implementation of the Politburo's resolutions and conclusions on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation, and breakthroughs in development in sectors and fields such as healthcare, education, construction and law enforcement.

At the same time, closely review regular expenditures, ensure debt payment obligations, and aid expenditures according to the State's commitments.

"Arranging to strengthen national reserve potential and proactively reserve the State budget for unexpected and arising situations" - Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long emphasized.

Public debt control and national financial security

Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long said that the State budget estimate for 2026 and the orientation for the entire 2026-2030 period were built closely following the draft documents of the 14th National Party Congress to contribute to achieving the target of double-digit economic growth.

Accordingly, the indicators of budget deficit, public debt, and capital mobilization all increased compared to the previous period.

Set requirements for strict control, associated with increasing capital efficiency, speeding up disbursement, and promptly putting projects into operation and use.

"To ensure financial security and safety, the Government will synchronously implement solutions to strive to increase revenue, save expenditure, spend correctly and sufficiently within the assigned budget, speed up disbursement, and ensure effective capital use," Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long emphasized.

At the same time, in 2026, the Government will submit to the National Assembly a proposal to allocate 15 trillion VND of unallocated central budget, equivalent to 1% of the estimated domestic revenue from production and business activities, to manage when socio-economic developments are unfavorable, ensuring financial balance and the State budget./.
