Review and handle surplus public assets and real estate in the process of restructuring and streamlining the apparatus.

ANTD.VN - Ministries, sectors and localities must develop and issue a Plan to handle surplus assets; in the process of restructuring and streamlining the apparatus, new real estate facilities must be regularly updated.

Adjust legal documents to suit the new organizational model

Regarding the guidance on handling public assets when streamlining the apparatus, Mr. Nguyen Tan Thinh, Director of the Department of Public Asset Management ( Ministry of Finance ) said that this is a very big problem.

Accordingly, when the organization reorganizes the apparatus, the system of job titles and the list of agencies and units change, leading to changes in the management and use of public assets.

On the side of the Ministry of Finance, in the past time, it has reported and consulted competent authorities to issue legal documents on the above issue. These documents have provided specific instructions on handling public assets when implementing the arrangement and reorganization of the organizational system.

Clearly stipulate how assets will be handled in cases of consolidation, merger, separation, dissolution, termination of operations, etc.

In addition, the Ministry of Finance has also issued two guiding documents on the arrangement and handling of public assets when arranging and streamlining the apparatus.

Mr. Nguyen Tan Thinh said that for assets that can be moved and continue to be used, they will be moved to a new location. There are assets that cannot be moved, such as headquarters, and we must accept the reality that when units merge and combine into areas, there will be places where headquarters are lacking and other facilities may be lacking.

Currently, the law also has specific regulations on handling real estate facilities in the old location that are no longer needed, they can be recovered, transferred to another unit, transferred to the locality for management and handling. It can be transferred to the local housing business organization to manage and exploit that real estate fund.

“This time, we propose that in the plan to reorganize agencies and units, there must be a plan for handling assets. For example, if a district no longer exists, which commune will transfer the district's assets to and who will manage them? In the plan to reorganize the apparatus, there must be a plan for handling assets, so that we can be more proactive in handling assets,” said Mr. Thinh.

At the same time, the Ministry of Finance is also preparing to adjust legal documents on public assets to suit the new organizational model and new system of job titles, such as the system of standards and norms on the management and use of public assets.

“The Ministry of Finance is closely monitoring the situation and progress of the reorganization of agencies and units, to prepare documents and will report to competent authorities for issuance immediately after the official plans on organizational apparatus are approved by competent authorities. This will serve as a basis for local ministries, agencies and units to implement the arrangement, use of assets, and arrangement and handling of surplus assets,” said Mr. Nguyen Tan Thinh.

Promote the handling of surplus real estate

Regarding the fight against waste in the management and use of public assets, based on the synthesis from localities, the Ministry of Finance reported to the Prime Minister on the results of the review of unused, ineffectively used, and improperly used public assets, focusing on real estate and headquarters of agencies and units.

According to statistics by the end of 2024, there are 11,034 houses and land that are not used, used inefficiently, or used for the wrong purpose. Of these, 3,780 houses and land have been decided to be handled by competent authorities, while the remaining 7,249 houses and land have not been decided to be handled by competent authorities.

On March 11, 2025, the Ministry of Finance continued to issue a document on promoting the review and handling of unused, ineffectively used, and improperly used offices and public service facilities, requesting ministries, branches, and localities to implement a number of drastic solutions.

Specifically, ministries, branches and localities with surplus real estate must develop and issue plans to handle surplus assets. On the other hand, in the process of restructuring and streamlining the apparatus, new real estate facilities must be regularly updated in the plan.

In that plan, it is recommended that ministries, branches and localities clearly define the work content and responsibilities of organizations and individuals in each stage. In addition, it is necessary to set a schedule for implementation.

The Ministry of Finance also requested ministries, branches and localities to assess and determine the causes of unused, ineffective and improperly used real estate facilities. Specifically identify the causes of each facility that cannot be handled due to policy mechanisms or implementation, planning work, etc., to propose and find specific solutions.

Ministries, branches and localities need to strengthen inspection and handling of violations in cases of delay or failure to comply with the plan and request ministries, branches and localities to report to the Ministry of Finance step 1 before April 5, 2025.

In the future, there will be quarterly reports to provide solutions to guide ministries, branches and localities to implement resolutely, to completely resolve the problem of surplus real estate.
