Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has ordered drastic measures to be taken to improve the management and governance of the state budget in the remaining months of 2025. It also emphasises keeping the state budget deficit and public debt within permissible limits. Tax and customs agencies at all levels are tasked with actively implementing revenue management measures, enhancing tax administration efficiency through IT application and digital transformation, and refining the legal and policy framework for state budget revenue. Ministries, central agencies, and localities must be accountable for any failure to comply with regulations, resolutions, and instructions of the PM on budget spending tasks, the document said. Deputy PM Ho Duc Phoc was assigned to directly supervise the implementation of measures and settlement of any issues arising./.
