Regarding the issue of organization and apparatus construction, the report of the Ministry of Finance said that in implementing and summarizing the implementation of Resolution No. 18-NQ/TW dated October 25, 2017 of the 12th Party Central Committee and the conclusions of the Central Committee, the Orientation Plan for the organization and streamlining of the Government's apparatus as well as the tasks assigned by the Central Steering Committee, the Ministry of Finance has promptly implemented with the highest sense of responsibility, completing on time the tasks related to the plan for reform and streamlining the apparatus, with the spirit of "only discussing, not discussing back", "putting aside personal interests for the common good".

The Ministry of Finance has issued Decision No. 2879/QD-BTC establishing the Steering Committee for restructuring the organizational apparatus of the Ministry of Finance, headed by Minister Nguyen Van Thang.

The Ministry of Finance said that the unit has assigned civil servant positions to organizations and units under the Ministry in 2024 and the 2024-2026 period; of which, in 2024, 679 positions were reduced compared to 2023, and it is expected that in 2026, 3,342 positions will be reduced compared to the positions assigned in 2022, equivalent to a 5% reduction in civil servant positions compared to 2022.

Reorganize the apparatus to be lean and efficient

The Prime Minister said that the financial sector needs to focus on reducing intermediaries and reducing administrative procedures.

"For example, internally, internal organizations must act early and quickly. When the Central and National Assembly, according to their authority, have agreed to merge the two ministries of Finance and the Ministry of Planning and Investment, then you should just do it" - the Prime Minister directed.

During this arrangement, the Prime Minister emphasized that it is necessary to select dedicated, responsible and capable people. We must do a good job of ideological work, encouraging sacrifice, tolerance and consensus from all relevant parties.
