The Prime Minister requested to focus on completing the reduction and simplification of administrative procedures and business conditions. |
Implementing Resolution No. 66/NQ-CP dated March 26, 2025 of the Government on the Program to reduce and simplify administrative procedures related to production and business activities in 2025 and 2026 and the Prime Minister's Directive Telegrams, by August 1, 2025, ministries and agencies have proactively reduced 115 administrative procedures, 118 business conditions (BC) and simplified 691 administrative procedures; 05 ministries and agencies have issued Decisions approving the Plan to reduce and simplify administrative procedures under the authority of the Ministry; 07 ministries and agencies have submitted to the Prime Minister for consideration and approval of the plan, in which the Prime Minister has approved the plan to reduce and simplify under the management of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of Industry and Trade , 04 ministries and agencies are continuing to supplement and complete.
Provinces and centrally-run cities have focused on implementing administrative procedures when arranging administrative units and implementing the 2-level local government organization model, with 3.4 million administrative procedure records received and resolved in 34 provinces and cities in July 2025, including 2.5 million records at the commune level.
However, besides the achieved results, the implementation of the tasks in the Resolution by a number of ministries, branches and localities still has shortcomings, specifically:
(1) There are still 06 Ministries and ministerial-level agencies that have not submitted to the Prime Minister a plan to reduce and simplify administrative procedures (the completion deadline according to Resolution No. 66/NQ-CP of the Government is before June 30, 2025);
(2) The business condition reduction plan of some ministries is expected to not achieve the target of at least 30% reduction as directed by the Politburo, General Secretary To Lam, the Central Steering Committee, the Government, and the Prime Minister;
(3) The information systems of some Ministries (such as civil status, business registration, business households, taxes, alcohol, beer and tobacco licensing, etc.) have not promptly completed upgrading, connecting, and sharing data with the Information System for handling administrative procedures, ensuring that the implementation of administrative procedures does not depend on administrative boundaries within the provincial level;
(4) Some national and specialized databases are still slow to be completed and put into operation or do not meet the requirements of "correct, sufficient, clean, and live" data to serve the reduction and simplification of administrative procedures;
(5) The implementation of administrative procedures in some localities is still confusing, especially with newly decentralized tasks, decentralization, and determination of authority;
(6) The arrangement and assignment of cadres and civil servants to perform administrative procedures in some localities, especially at the commune level, is still unscientific, does not meet the professional and technical requirements of the job position, and is slow to receive training and guidance;
(7) Technical facilities in some localities are still lacking, slow to issue digital signatures and seals, so working conditions are not guaranteed;
(8) Propaganda, guidance and support for people and businesses in some localities are not really effective.
In order to promptly, effectively and on schedule implement Resolution No. 66/NQ-CP dated March 26, 2025 of the Government, substantially reduce administrative procedures, investment and business conditions, processing time, and costs of compliance with administrative procedures, the Prime Minister requests Ministers, Heads of ministerial-level agencies, Chairmen of People's Committees of provinces and centrally run cities to focus on implementing the Prime Minister's Directive Telegrams and immediately deploy a number of contents:
