(Baonghean) - Along with the general difficulties of the whole country, the state budget revenue and expenditure situation in 2012 of Nghe An is facing many difficulties. The budget revenue in 2012 only reached about 80% of the estimate. The Finance sector has confirmed a revenue shortfall of about 1,000 - 1,200 billion VND, due to the impact of the following reasons: The real estate market is frozen, production of enterprises is difficult, and efficiency is not high; the Government has implemented measures to support enterprises, the Central and the province have issued many new policies and mechanisms to solve the actual needs of the locality, but at the same time there is also pressure from the task of balancing the budget.
The difficult situation in balancing the budget in 2012 will continue into 2013 and even into 2014. In the context of the budget balance problem that has been clearly predicted for 2013, Nghe An Department of Finance has proactively developed 5 principles in organizing the development of the state budget estimate for 2013:

First, the coordination principle: This is an important principle because in the current context, the sectors and budget-using units need to have a shared viewpoint with the general staff agency to build the 2013 budget estimate on the basis of selecting the necessary categories and expenditure items, reducing unnecessary expenditures, organizing the construction of the estimate in the direction of well performing the political tasks of the unit and well implementing the principle of saving and sharing to balance the general budget of the province.
Second, the principle of guarantee: Salary, allowances, and social security must be fully and promptly guaranteed, with funding for national defense and security support and environmental issues given higher priority in possible balanced conditions.
Third, the principle of not omitting: Old policies and regimes (still in effect) and new policies applied in 2013 must be fully reviewed and synthesized.
Fourth, practice honesty and accuracy: Do not propose too high a demand, or propose a demand that has expired by the end of 2012, increasing pressure on balancing the 2013 budget estimate.
Fifth, responsibility in implementing the budget collection direction of 2013: Ensure positivity and strive to the highest level to contribute to reducing pressure on balancing the budget in 2013.
The 5 principles in organizing the development of the 2013 budget estimate will be consistent throughout the process of advising and directing the management of revenue and expenditure in 2013 and the following years.
