Continue to implement large-scale national inventory of public assets

The objective of the general inventory is to grasp the current status of public assets in terms of quantity, value, structure and current usage status, as a basis for perfecting policies and laws, building socio-economic development strategies and preparing State financial reports.

On December 18, the Ministry of Finance held a press conference to announce the progress of the implementation of the Project on General Inventory of Public Assets at Agencies, Organizations, Units and Infrastructure Assets Invested and Managed by the State. This is a key political task in 2024 and 2025, aiming to implement the Party's policy on effective management and use of public assets, practicing thrift, combating waste and preventing and combating corruption.

Ms. Tran Dieu An, Deputy Director of the Department of Public Asset Management (Ministry of Finance) informed that the Project for General Inventory of Public Assets (Project 213) was approved by the Prime Minister under Decision No. 213/QD-TTg dated March 1, 2024, based on Resolution No. 74/2022/QH15 of the National Assembly and Resolution No. 53/NQ-CP of the Government. The objective of the general inventory is to grasp the current status of public assets in terms of quantity, value, structure and current usage status, as a basis for perfecting policies and laws, building socio-economic development strategies and preparing State financial reports.

The subjects of the inventory include public assets at agencies, organizations, and units that meet the criteria of fixed assets (except for special assets at the armed forces and State secret assets) and infrastructure assets invested and managed by the State. Specifically, infrastructure assets include the fields of transportation (railways, roads, aviation, inland waterways, maritime), clean water supply, irrigation, trade (markets, industrial clusters, industrial parks, economic zones, high-tech zones, concentrated information technology zones), climate change response (dykes), fishing ports, cultural institutions, grassroots sports, and underground urban construction space. The time to close the inventory data is 0:00 on January 1, 2025.

According to Ms. Tran Dieu An, the Ministry of Finance has implemented many important activities, including issuing implementation plans, building software, forms, inventory indicators, organizing training for ministries, branches, and localities, and strengthening propaganda work. To date, the Ministry of Finance has conducted pilot inventories at 2 ministries (Finance, Transport) and 6 localities (Hanoi, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, Hai Phong, Bac Kan, Quang Ninh).

The report of the Ministry of Finance noted that most ministries, branches and localities have established Steering Committees, issued plans and completed professional training. Many localities have linked the results of the inventory with the assessment of the completion of tasks of units and cadres and civil servants. The active participation of leaders at all levels, especially in some localities such as Hanoi, Hai Duong, Thai Binh, Bac Giang, Dak Lak, Hoa Binh... shows their interest and high determination in carrying out this task.

However, Mr. Nguyen Tan Thinh, Director of the Department of Public Asset Management (Ministry of Finance) said that this is the first time the General Inventory of Public Assets has been carried out on a large scale nationwide (about 100,000 units) with many different types of assets. The implementation time coincides with many important events of the country, while the awareness of some Party committees and authorities about the importance of this work is still inadequate.

In addition, Mr. Nguyen Tan Thinh shared that the next plan of Project 213 will complete the preparation work by December 31, 2024 and inventory by March 31, 2025. Accordingly, ministries, branches and localities will report the results to the Ministry of Finance by June 15, 2025. On that basis, the Ministry of Finance will synthesize and report to the Government and the Prime Minister by July 31, 2025.

“The Ministry of Finance calls for close coordination among ministries, sectors and localities to ensure the successful implementation of the General Inventory of Public Assets, contributing to improving the efficiency of management and use of State assets,” said Mr. Thinh.
