Director of the Department of Public Property Management of the Ministry of Finance, Nguyen Tan Thinh, said that the allocation and settlement of public property has been delegated to local authorities. As part of its mandate, the ministry continues to refine the legal framework governing the management and use of public assets, thereby providing the necessary regulatory basis for administrative simplification and organizational restructuring.
As part of its role in assisting the government in the management of public assets, the Ministry of Finance has, in recent years, submitted legal documents to the National Assembly, the government and the Prime Minister to establish the legal framework for the allocation and management of public assets. It also provided recommendations and advice regarding the publication of guidance documents to ensure the effective implementation of these tasks.
On November 11, the Prime Minister signed a dispatch calling for accelerated progress in the redevelopment and management of housing and land following a major administrative restructuring at all levels. He stressed the need to adjust planning and prioritize allocations for health, education, culture, sports and public services, as well as determine the appropriate settlement of remaining assets once these essential needs are met.
The Ministry of Finance said it has designated specialized officials to supervise each locality and deployed work teams to carry out on-site inspections before, during and after the administrative restructuring. In the coming months, the Ministry will publicly communicate progress made nationally on the management of surplus public buildings and land, in accordance with the Prime Minister’s instructions.
