Recently, on April 20, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang chaired a working session with the Ministry of Finance and the State Bank on cutting and simplifying administrative procedures and business conditions.
At the meeting, Deputy Minister of Finance Nguyen Thi Bich Ngoc said that as of April 15, 2026, the Ministry of Finance has 738 valid administrative procedures, belonging to 25 state management sectors, which is one of the ministries with a large number of administrative procedures (TTHC), wide scope of adjustment and high frequency of transactions, directly affecting the operations of people and businesses.
The Ministry of Finance believes that some administrative procedures in specialized fields do not have conditions to implement decentralization to local authorities, due to being associated with centralized management requirements, high professional standards or no corresponding organization in the locality. Therefore, the Ministry of Finance proposes to allow the exclusion of special administrative procedures that do not have decentralization conditions from the total number of administrative procedures as a basis for calculating decentralization targets.
At the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang requested the Ministry of Finance and the State Bank to be directly and comprehensively responsible to the Government and the Prime Minister in reviewing and completing plans to cut and simplify administrative procedures.
The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized the requirement "not to use industry specificity as an excuse to avoid reform and decentralization of administrative procedures", and at the same time requested agencies to urgently complete plans to cut 50% of compliance costs, 50% of resolution time, 100% of unnecessary business conditions and send them to the Ministry of Justice immediately after the meeting.
In addition, agencies are required to promote digitization, striving to achieve at least 90% of dossiers and results of administrative procedure resolution digitized by the end of 2026; 100% of results are issued electronic copies and 80% of data is exploited and reused.
