The report also showed that, besides the achieved results, the work of thoroughly grasping and implementing the Resolution of the 8th meeting of the 11th Central Committee of the Finance sector still has some limitations, such as state revenue collection has not been sustainable; the leading role of the central budget has not been promoted; recurrent expenditure still accounts for a large proportion; institutions and policies on public investment, state budget, price and land have not been adjusted to keep pace with the requirements of reality.
In addition, several legal provisions are still not synchronized and consistent and are slow to be amended and supplemented; the mechanism of decentralization of state budget management and investment has been promoted, but it still lacks synchronization and lack of effective monitoring mechanisms in the implementation; it is not possible to synchronize and promptly implement specific financial mechanisms and policies for the development of defence and security industries to meet new development requirements.
In addition, the stock and corporate bond markets still have many limitations and shortcomings; the use of budget and public investment capital is sometimes wasted, lost, and inefficient.
