The above information was shared by Mr. Nguyen Tan Thinh - Director of the Department of Industrial Property Management (Ministry of Finance) with the press at the headquarters of the Ministry of Finance on March 14.
Lao Dong Newspaper has published many articles reflecting the situation of abandoned public houses and land in many localities, causing great waste.
In Ho Chi Minh City alone, at the People's Council meeting on December 10, 2024, the Department of Finance informed that more than 1,000 public houses and land in Ho Chi Minh City are vacant, including assets belonging to the Central agency.
The number of 11,034 surplus houses and land that have not been properly exploited as of 2024. In the near future, merging some provinces and removing district level, reducing to 2,000 communes, the surplus public assets will certainly increase many times.
Therefore, right now, we must consider effectively exploiting public assets, and cannot let the abandonment situation that has occurred for many years happen.
Public houses and land are abandoned for many reasons, including policy mechanisms and planning problems.
According to the analysis of Director Nguyen Tan Thinh: "Some headquarters want to be sold but have to adjust the planning in advance to be able to carry out the transfer, otherwise no investor will be interested. If the planning is not approved, the property cannot be sold, cannot be used, and so continues to be left vacant, causing waste".
This is the problem that localities are facing, the problem is to remove it to free up this huge resource.
Unable to let public assets continue to be abandoned, the Ministry of Finance has sent a document to ministries, branches and localities to propose developing a specific handling plan. The goal is to focus on handling the 500 largest and most valuable houses and land with backlogs in the first phase. Localities must make a list and provide a specific roadmap to thoroughly resolve the issue.
This is a breakthrough solution, from the first 500 facilities to be processed and learn from experience to exploit the surplus public assets most effectively.
The Ministry of Finance has proposed a number of options: "Agencies must clearly identify which stage each asset is stuck in: planning, policy mechanisms or implementation organization. If the planning is not suitable, it is necessary to propose adjustments in a more flexible direction. For assets that are no longer in need of use, it is necessary to consider the form of auction, lease, or conversion of land use purposes".
Faced with difficulties and challenges, it is necessary for capable cadres. In the coming time, any locality that leaves many public assets behind will not put them into exploitation, causing waste, proving leadership capacitylessness.
