For public service units with a part of regular expenditure guaranteed by the state budget: Funding for policy and regime settlement comes from the unit's revenue from service activities, state budget allocations and other legal sources. The state budget will allocate funding for policy and regime settlement based on the number of employees receiving salaries from the state budget assigned by competent authorities.

"For public service units, if the source cannot be balanced, they will report to the competent authority for consideration and decision on additional funding from the State budget. For autonomous service units with higher revenue, they are allowed to decide on a higher level of support," said Mr. Nguyen Quang Dung.
