On February 7, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc chaired a meeting on the draft decree regulating the functions, tasks, powers and organizational structure of the Ministry of Finance (after merging with the Ministry of Planning and Investment) and Vietnam Television (VTV).
Two sets reduce up to nearly 40% of the lead
Deputy Minister of Finance Nguyen Duc Chi said the draft decree inherits and restructures the functions, tasks, and powers of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Planning and Investment, ensuring coverage of the entire state management sector. The principle is that one organization performs many tasks, and one task is assigned to only one unit with primary responsibility.
End the general department model at general departments and equivalents, convert to department-level units, build a streamlined internal apparatus, reduce staff units, internal management, and reduce intermediate levels.
Accordingly, after the merger, the two ministries will have overlapping administrative organizations from 10 units to 5 units; units with connected, interconnected or similar functions will be rearranged from 20 units to 8 units; 12 units with professional or specific independence will be kept.
In addition, there are reorganization plans for public service units, general departments and equivalents including the General Department of Taxation, General Department of Customs, General Department of State Reserves, State Treasury, State Securities Commission, General Statistics Office into administrative organizations equivalent to departments.
Merge Vietnam Social Security into a single agency under the Ministry of Finance. After the merger, the number of agencies will be reduced by about 3,600, equivalent to 37.7%.
Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung said that the two ministries have coordinated very well and urgently implemented the arrangement and streamlining of the apparatus. The arrangement of the two ministries ensures the inheritance of the ministries' functions and tasks, without omission or overlap, and smooth and effective operation.
But this is a big problem, in the context of preparing to enter a new era, so we need a strong apparatus that operates efficiently, effectively and smoothly.
Ensure smooth operation
Many opinions also said that the arrangement must be public, transparent, reasonable, appropriate, right person, right job. Propaganda, ideological work for the team of cadres, civil servants, public employees, and workers. Ensure the material conditions so that the new Ministry of Finance can immediately go into operation, operate smoothly, synchronously, and effectively.
Meanwhile, with the draft decree regulating the functions, tasks, powers and organizational structure of VTV, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam - VTV General Director - said that after the reorganization, the number of focal points will be reduced from 27 to 22, with the correct ratio (18.5%). VTV's proposals received unanimous opinions on tasks and organizational structure.
In conclusion, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc requested the two ministries and relevant agencies to continue reviewing and ensuring that no functions, tasks, or scope of work are overlooked so that the new apparatus can operate smoothly and effectively.
The Deputy Prime Minister highly appreciated the pioneering and revolutionary spirit of the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Planning and Investment and relevant agencies in developing plans, arranging and streamlining the apparatus (proposing to reduce up to 46% of the number of focal points). With the view that the Ministry of Finance is the "core" ministry - the "blood vessel" of the economy, he requested that "once the arrangement is completed, the work must run".
Regarding the arrangement of VTV, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized a number of contents related to the number of units under VTV, including VTV Times; the implementation of foreign television tasks, VTV's financial operation mechanism; handling of assets after receiving the functions and tasks of television stations...
