Accordingly, the Directive requires heads of branches under the State Treasury agency to regularly monitor and update new guidelines, policies, documents and regimes related to the implementation of the socio-economic development plan and the state budget estimate in 2023, and policy documents related to the control of public expenditure via the State Treasury to ensure smoothness, create favourable conditions for customers in transactions and following current laws.

The State Treasury has accelerated the processing of dossiers, controlled payments on online public services of the Treasury, shortened control time from 7 days to 1-3 days, and reduced foreign capital withdrawal time to within the day.

The Ministry of Finance requests the budget allocation following Circular No. 78/2022/TT-BTC. The Ministry also asks the agencies to allocate and assign the estimate to subordinate units, ensuring the principle of saving and concentrating on allocating funds for key objectives and tasks.

The Ministry of Finance has directed the State Treasury to closely coordinate with the collection agency to fully and promptly collect revenues into the state budget and expand collection accounts at commercial banks. Especially, the State Treasury should control public expenditures to ensure strict compliance with the provisions of law, promptly remove obstacles, and speed up the disbursement of public investment. The State Treasury also should implement state treasury management operations under the plan for state treasury management in 2023 and the second quarter of 2023 and urgently submit to the Ministry the management plan for the third quarter.
