Along with that, the National Assembly also decided that the total central budget expenditure in 2025 is 1,523,264 billion VND. For agencies and units with special financial and income mechanisms at the central level, the National Assembly allowed the arrangement of expenditures to ensure salaries, allowances, and contributions according to the specific tasks of the agencies and units (except for the State Bank of Vietnam and Vietnam Social Security). In the implementation organization, after the competent authority decides to amend or abolish the financial mechanisms and special incomes, based on the provisions of law, the Government decides on issues under its authority regarding the adjustment of the budget estimates of these agencies and units, and synthesizes the report to the National Assembly at the nearest session. The National Assembly requires tightening financial discipline, strictly handling violations, obstructions that slow down the progress of capital allocation, implementation, and disbursement; individualizing the responsibility of the head in case of slow implementation and disbursement, associated with the assessment of the level of completion of assigned tasks. Regarding the revenue from lottery activities, it is necessary to use it for development investment; prioritize investment in the fields of education - training and vocational education, and the health sector; the remaining part is prioritized for the implementation of other important and urgent development investment tasks that are subject to investment from the local budget. The National Assembly also requested to spend 5,307 billion VND, equivalent to 85% of the revenue from administrative fines for road traffic safety and order, for the Ministry of Public Security to spend on ensuring traffic safety and order; spend 936.5 billion VND in targeted supplement to local budgets to support the implementation of the task of ensuring traffic safety and order in localities.
