Because the budget revenue is difficult to reach the target of the Resolution of the 18th Provincial Party Congress, while the spending demand is very large, therefore, in order to effectively manage the local budget balance, the province requests all sectors and levels to thoroughly implement savings in regular spending; requires sectors and localities to streamline staffing, use resources reasonably; not issue policies, regimes, and spending tasks when the sources are not balanced. Proactively adjust the balance of the 2016-2020 medium-term public investment plan, tighten fiscal discipline, budget, public debt, etc.
Total state budget expenditure for the years 2020 - 2022 is determined based on the budget revenue plan, surplus level and debt repayment each year. Accordingly, total state budget expenditure for 3 years (2020 - 2022) in Nghe An is expected to be about 84,358 billion 829 million VND.
