Meanwhile, Nghe An only ensures about 50% of the balanced expenditure in the area, the rest must receive subsidies from the central budget. Accordingly, the rate of budget revenue regulation of hydropower plants located in the area for the local budget will be adjusted (correspondingly, the rate of regulation for district and commune budgets will increase compared to the present), the provincial budget will reduce the balanced subsidy for district and commune budgets. Accordingly, the total balanced expenditure of district and commune budgets will not change.
In addition, to support localities with hydropower plants located in the area, the Department of Finance has advised the Provincial People's Committee to submit to the People's Council an adjustment to increase the expenditure norms for economic and environmental protection. At the same time, it has added specific criteria to support localities to overcome damage caused by direct flood discharge from hydropower plants (in which Con Cuong district: 2 billion VND/unit/year; Tuong Duong district: 5 billion VND/unit/year; Que Phong district: 3 billion VND/unit/year).
