This afternoon, August 20, the Ministry of Finance held a conference to guide the work of inventorying public assets.
The conference was held in a combination of direct and online formats at connecting points, with the aim of disseminating to ministries, branches and localities the basic contents of the general inventory approved by the Prime Minister, providing guidance on inventory indicators, forms, methods of data synthesis, and sending reports on inventory results.
Speaking at the conference, Deputy Minister Bui Van Khang said that inventory is one of the contents of public asset management and must be carried out periodically at the end of each year. However, this is only the second time the inventory has been carried out nationwide, the first inventory was carried out in 1998 and only included the inventory of assets in the administrative and public service sector.
Deputy Minister Khang said that the implementation of this general inventory of public assets is based on political, legal and practical grounds to meet the requirements of strengthening management and improving the efficiency of exploiting and using public assets.
Accordingly, Resolution No. 39-NQ/TW dated January 15, 2019 of the Politburo on improving the efficiency of management, use, exploitation and promotion of economic resources has determined: "Inventory and full and substantial assessment of economic resources is an important basis for building a socio-economic development strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2045, and medium-term and long-term development plans and projects in each period".
In addition, according to international practice, since 2018, the Ministry of Finance has been assigned by the National Assembly to develop the State Financial Report as a basis for economic management. In particular, the public asset index is one of the important indexes of the State Financial Report. The results of this general inventory will be an important source of information to serve the completion of the State Financial Report.
The Deputy Minister said that according to the Law on Management and Use of Public Assets, the scope of public assets is very broad, including 7 types of public assets. However, this time, the National Assembly requested a general inventory of 02 types: Public assets in the administrative and career sector, Infrastructure assets serving national interests and public interests because these are the 02 types of assets that have the greatest impact on resources serving socio-economic development.
The Deputy Minister of Finance said that the goal of this General Inventory is to determine the actual situation in both physical and value to answer the National Assembly's question of what assets, in what areas and what their actual status, have been created by the State's annual investment in development. From there, clearly identify resources to serve the development of plans, strategies and solutions for the management and use of public assets as well as for the socio-economic development goals of the new period.
At the same time, identify the good and bad contents in management work to rectify, as well as through a general inventory to identify issues regarding policy mechanisms that do not meet requirements to propose to competent authorities to continue perfecting policies.
The Deputy Minister added that through understanding the situation at some ministries and localities conducting the trial inventory, there were some problems in asset management and accounting. Therefore, the Deputy Minister requested relevant agencies to pay attention and direct the correction and improvement to serve as a basis for implementing this general inventory.
The Deputy Minister stated that the inventory of public assets is an important but also very difficult and complicated task, requiring the participation of the entire political system, with the core force being public asset management agencies at all levels. The Deputy Minister expressed his hope that relevant agencies will make efforts to obtain the most accurate inventory results, successfully completing the tasks assigned by the National Assembly and the Prime Minister.
The Deputy Minister also suggested that during the training and guidance process, delegates should listen and discuss any unclear issues to clarify them. The Ministry of Finance will also establish a standing unit at the Department of State Asset Management to support, guide and answer any issues that arise during the general inventory process.
