Accordingly, the dissolution of 43 transaction offices was implemented uniformly from 1 June 2018. The duties of the transaction offices shall be transferred to the professional divisions of the State Treasury.

According to Mr. Ta Anh Tuan, the Director General of the State Treasury, the rearrangement of the State Treasury transaction offices is in line with the resolutions of the sixth plenum of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Finance and the development strategy of the State Treasury till 2020. At the same time, it is in line with the tendency of organizational reform towards streamlined, effective and efficient operation in the public sector of Vietnam as well as other countries in the world.

As soon as Decision 516 was enacted, the regular arrangement received close attention from the leaders of the Ministry of Finance, the Party committees and local authorities at all levels in the State Treasury system, especially heads of central and local units. In addition, the implementation of a series of projects to reform the State treasury system in the past also supported and facilitated the State Treasury system.

Besides the advantages, the merger of 43 transaction offices also has some impacts on the State Treasury.

However, with the political determination of the entire State Treasury system, the guiding concern and support of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Finance and the authorities at all levels, the State Treasury system has well implemented the policy of rearrangement for 43 transaction offices of the State Treasury.
