Therefore, to ensure spending sources for beneficiaries in the second quarter and the following quarters, the State Treasury has requested the affiliated units to actively coordinate with ministries, Central agencies and local agencies and budget-users to promptly remove difficulties and obstacles arising in the capital control and payment, ensuring that capital is allocated according to the regime and within the approved estimate; and strengthening control of recurrent expenditures, especially expenditures for national festivals, ceremonies, conferences, seminars, and business trips abroad.

“Digitalize” the inspection and supervision of State Treasury

The State Treasury required its affiliated units to effectively implement online public services for state budget-using units, aiming to better serve customers; proactively, regularly and periodically warn about risks in transactions between beneficiaries and the State Treasury, especially the management and use of digital certificates, digital signatures, and electronic payments from state budget beneficiaries.
