The Ministry of Finance has just issued Decision No. 290/QD-BTC dated February 25, 2025, officially implementing the Plan to implement the National Reserve Development Strategy until 2030. Accordingly, relevant ministries and branches will preside over and coordinate to carry out tasks according to the set plan and schedule.
One of the key tasks is to continue to improve the system of legal documents on national reserves. The Ministry of Finance will preside over reviewing the National Reserve Law and proposing amendments and supplements if necessary. At the same time, guiding documents for implementation, technical regulations and economic and technical norms for national reserve goods will also be updated to suit practical requirements.
Regarding reserve resources, the plan emphasizes the increase of additional purchases and the arrangement of national reserves in key areas to ensure quick response to emergency situations. The completion of the list of reserve goods will also be based on research on factors such as natural disasters, epidemics, climate change, security and defense.
The Ministry of Finance will preside over the overall planning of the national reserve system until 2030, with a vision to 2050. Ministries and branches will be responsible for detailed planning and developing a medium-term investment plan for 2026-2030 to ensure modern and synchronous reserve facilities.
In addition, the plan also requires improving the quality of reserve goods storage, promoting the application of technology in management, reforming administrative procedures and enhancing international cooperation. During the implementation process, if there are any requests for adjustments, ministries and branches will send proposals to the Ministry of Finance for consideration and updated the appropriate plan.
