In the coming time, the Provincial People's Committee will continue to direct the Department of Finance to preside over and coordinate with agencies, units, and localities to effectively implement Plan No. 525/KH-UBND dated November 12, 2025 and Official Dispatch No. 169/UBND-ĐTQH dated January 17, 2026.
