The Ministry of Finance is ensuring funds to implement policies for officials, public employees, workers, and laborers when arranging and streamlining the organizational structure according to Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP and Decree No. 67/2025/ND-CP of the Government. On May 8, 2025, the Ministry of Finance announced the implementation of the Party's policy and Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP dated December 31, 2024, regarding policies for officials, public employees, workers, laborers, and armed forces in arranging the organizational structure of the political system.
On January 24, 2025, the Ministry of Finance issued Circular No. 07/2025/TT-BTC guiding the determination of funding sources and the preparation, management, use, and settlement of funds for implementing policies as stipulated in Decree No. 178/2024/ND-CP. This task arises in 2025, so supplementing funds to implement the policy falls under the authority of the National Assembly.
The Ministry of Finance reported to the Government and the National Assembly Standing Committee and submitted to the National Assembly (9th session) to supplement the 2025 state budget estimate to implement the policy. After the National Assembly makes a decision, based on proposals from ministries, branches, and localities, the Government will immediately allocate funds to implement policies for officials, public employees, workers, and laborers when arranging and streamlining the organizational structure according to Decree No. 178 and Decree No. 67.
Point d, Clause 1, Article 5 of Circular No. 07/2025/TT-BTC stipulates: "During the waiting period for competent authorities to supplement funds, agencies and units should proactively use allocated budget sources to promptly pay allowances and policies to the subjects according to regulations." This means that during the waiting period for competent authorities to supplement funds, agencies and units should actively utilize their allocated budget to ensure timely payments for allowances and policies to the designated subjects.
The Ministry of Finance has issued documents urging ministries, branches, and localities to urgently prepare estimates and report funding needs for summarization and submission to competent authorities for supplementary funding according to regulations. The Ministry of Finance is proactively balancing and arranging to ensure sufficient state budget resources to implement policies according to regulations.
Recently, the Ministry of Finance has reported to the Government, the National Assembly Standing Committee, and submitted to the National Assembly at the ongoing 9th session regarding the supplementation of the 2025 state budget estimate to implement policies for officials, public employees, and workers retiring or resigning early due to organizational restructuring. The Ministry of Finance stated that this task arises in 2025, so supplementing funds to implement the policy falls under the authority of the National Assembly.
After the National Assembly makes a decision, based on proposals from ministries, branches, and localities, the Government will immediately allocate funds to implement policies for officials, public employees, workers, and laborers when arranging and streamlining the organizational structure according to Decree No. 178 and Decree No. 67.
The Ministry of Finance has issued Circular No. 07/2025 guiding the determination of funding sources and the preparation, management, use, and settlement of funds for implementing policies as stipulated in Decree No. 178. The circular states: "During the waiting period for competent authorities to supplement funds, agencies and units should proactively use allocated budget sources to promptly pay allowances and policies to the subjects according to regulations."
Currently, the Ministry of Finance has issued documents urging ministries, branches, and localities to urgently prepare estimates and report funding needs for summarization and submission to competent authorities for supplementary funding according to regulations. The Ministry of Finance is proactively balancing and arranging to ensure sufficient state budget resources to implement policies according to regulations.
A draft Circular amending and supplementing several articles of Circular 07/2025 is also being consulted. The Ministry of Finance proposes that public non-business units that cannot ensure regular expenditures and do not have sufficient funding to resolve policies for officials, public employees, and workers retiring or resigning early due to organizational restructuring will use salary reform funds and other legal revenue sources for implementation.
In summary, the Ministry of Finance is taking significant steps to ensure that adequate funding is available for the implementation of policies affecting public servants and workers affected by the restructuring of the government apparatus. The proactive measures being taken not only aim to fulfill the requirements of Decree No. 178 and Decree No. 67 but also reflect a commitment to maintaining stability and support for those impacted by these changes.
