The report on the 2022 State budget settlement revealed a significant revenue increase, exceeding the estimated figure by 28.8%. The initial estimate revenue was VND 1,413,408 billion (USD 58.59 billion). However, the actual settlement reached VND 1,820,310 billion, with tax and fee revenue contributing 15.16% of GDP.
State budget expenditures, on the other hand, fell short of the estimate by 5.7%. The initial estimate was VND 1,855,641 billion, but the actual settlement came in at VND 1,750,790 billion. This disparity was attributed to lower central budget spending (86.7% of the estimate) compared to local budgets which reached 99.6% of the estimate.
The N.A.'s Finance and Budget Committee, in its verification report, commended the Government and Prime Minister for their efforts in strengthening financial and State budget discipline, resulting in positive results in managing both revenues and expenditures.
