According to the Resolution passed by the National Assembly, supplementing the state budget revenue estimate for 2024 is 13,760 billion VND, including increasing central budget revenue by 3,408 billion VND; increasing local budget revenue by 10,352 billion VND.

The National Assembly acknowledged and highly appreciated the Government's efforts in closely and drastically directing socio-economic development solutions, effectively implementing fiscal policy, synchronously with monetary policy and other macroeconomic policies to remove difficulties for businesses and people, and promote socio-economic recovery and development.

Besides the positive results achieved, the observance of discipline and order, the implementation of legal regulations and resolutions of the National Assembly on the preparation and compliance with state budget estimates and finalization still have some shortcomings and limitations.

The situation of adjusting information and data on state budget revenue and expenditure after a period of adjusting state budget finalization has not been overcome. The implementation of conclusions and recommendations of the State Audit Office at some agencies and units has not been fully and promptly ensured.

Also according to the resolution, the total balanced state budget revenue is 3,402,379 billion VND.

The total balanced state budget expenditure is 3,587,655 billion VND, including the transferred expenditure from 2024 to 2025.

The Resolution assigns the Government to publicly disclose the 2024 SBR finalization according to the provisions of law. Direct ministries, agencies, and localities to clarify the causes and responsibilities of heads, collectives, and individuals who do not strictly comply with the provisions of law in preparing and complying with the 2024 SBR estimate and finalization; strictly handle violations.

Assign the State Audit Office to continue to publicize the audit results of audits and state budget finalization audits according to regulations. Publicize the list of organizations and individuals who do not implement the conclusions and recommendations of the State Audit Office.
