In recent times, the issue of handling assets after rearranging and organizing the apparatus and administrative units at all levels to ensure efficiency, transparency, sustainability, avoid loss and waste of assets and be consistent with reality has been given great attention and drastic direction by the General Secretary, the Government, the Government and the Prime Minister.

Especially for property issues, the development of plans and implementation organization need to be based on standards, norms and authority, this needs to be done right now.
As soon as the Government, Prime Minister, and Ministry of Finance issued documents, today, June 18, the Ministry of Finance organized training for ministries, branches, and localities to fully grasp the regulations and agree on awareness and action to ensure that we are best prepared for July 1, 2025 and organize the implementation of the following tasks.
Currently, according to local newspapers, the documents recently issued by the Government, the Prime Minister, and the Ministry of Finance in the field of public asset management and use have not yet arisen any problems. Localities assess that such decentralization and delegation of authority ensures thoroughness and transparency for localities to deploy and implement. However, the 2-level local government model is a new issue. After this model comes into operation, if any difficulties or problems arise, the Ministry of Finance has requested ministries, branches, and localities to promptly report to the Ministry of Finance for timely response and handling.
