According to the provincial Department of Finance, in 2013, the province’s budget collection is estimated at VND33.833 trillion and spending at VND12.840 trillion.
To obtain the target, since the beginning of the year, economical spending has been set to reserve capital for development investment, especially for impetus projects and important constructions.
However, due to the influence of the economy, business and production difficulty, with a decrease of 70% in re-export activities, the collection from re-export activities through border gates has been reduced by 70%. In addition, due to State policies on tax adjustment, there has been a reduction of tax collection in the province. The result is insufficient collection of budget in the province.
In 2014, the projected budget collection is VND31.121 trillion, with spending of VND10.809 trillion.
Meanwhile, the Department of Planning and Investment estimated the demand for development investment capital in 2014 at VND15.098 trillion and spending for development investment at VND3.338 trillion.
During the meeting, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment presented a report on the prices of land in 2014 in the province. Nguyen Van Doc, Deputy Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, said that the province would strive to increase collection and conduct economical spending.
He noted that the solutions would mainly focus on tackling difficulties for enterprises, especially those in the coal industry; dealing with obstacles in procedures in land; saving in public spending; and strictly realising regulations on the prevention of waste./.
