The use of temporarily idle state
budget funds for advances and loans to the central budget shall be performed
under contracts concluded between the State Treasury and the Department of
State Budget.
2. Use of temporarily idle state
budget funds for advances and loans to the province-level budget
a) When requiring advances or loans
from state budget funds, the Province-level People’s Committee shall send the
Ministry of Finance (State Treasury) a written request for advances or loans
from state budget funds (according to the forms provided in Appendix I and
Appendix II enclosed with this Circular), accompanied by the Resolution of the
Province-level People’s Council approving the request for advances from state
budget funds (for requests for advances) or the loan estimate approved by the
National Assembly and the Province-level People’s Council for the year in which
the loan is incurred (for requests for loans).
b) Where the Ministry of Finance
approves advances or loans to the province-level budget from state budget
funds, based on the written approval of the Ministry of Finance, the Department
of Finance shall prepare 2 copies of the request for withdrawal of advance or
loan capital from state budget funds, using the form in Appendix III enclosed
with this Circular, and send them to the regional State Treasury to withdraw
advance or loan capital.
Where the request for advances or
loans is not approved, the Ministry of Finance shall issue a written response
to the Province-level People’s Committee (specifying reasons).
c) Based on the repayment deadline
for advances or loans from state budget funds, the Department of Finance shall
allocate resources and carry out procedures for full and timely repayment.
Where advances or loans to the province-level budget are not fully or
duly repaid, no later than 10 working days from the due date, the regional
State Treasury shall deduct the balance of the province-level budget fund to
recover the overdue advances or loans; at the same time, it shall issue a
written notice to the Department of Finance and report to the Province-level
People’s Committee on the deduction of the province-level budget balance.
3. Use of temporarily idle state
budget funds for repurchase transactions of Government bonds
a) Counterparties in repurchase
transactions of Government bonds include commercial banks that are members of
debt instrument trading as prescribed in Circular No. 30/2019/TT-BTC dated May
28, 2019 of the Minister of Finance on registration, depository, listing,
trading, and settlement of trading in Government debt instruments,
Government-guaranteed bonds issued by policy banks, and local government bonds,
announced on the Portal of the Vietnam Stock Exchange (excluding commercial
banks under compulsory transfer or special control).
b) The risk prevention ratio in
repurchase transactions of Government bonds shall be determined according to
the thresholds in Clause 3 Article 20 of Circular No. 111/2018/TT-BTC dated
November 15, 2018 of the Minister of Finance on guidelines for the issuance and
settlement of Government debt instruments in the domestic market.

The repurchase interest rate of
Government bonds applicable to each commercial bank is the quoted interest rate
of that commercial bank, selected in descending order, ensuring that the
cumulative repurchase volume up to the lowest selected interest rate does not
exceed the volume announced by the State Treasury.
The repurchase volume of Government
bonds for each commercial bank corresponds to that bank’s quoted volume. Where
the cumulative quoted volume up to the lowest selected interest rate exceeds
the volume announced by the State Treasury, after deducting the quoted volumes
at higher interest rates, the remaining volume shall be allocated to commercial
banks quoting at the lowest selected interest rate in proportion to their
quoted volumes and rounded down to the nearest billion VND; any remaining
amount after rounding shall be allocated to the first commercial bank quoting
at the lowest selected interest rate; where such allocation exceeds the
remaining quoted volume of that bank, the excess shall be allocated
sequentially to the next commercial banks.
d) Repurchase transactions of
Government bonds shall be conducted on the debt instrument trading system of
the Hanoi Stock Exchange (the repurchase component of Government bonds using
state budget funds), ensuring the detailed requirements in Appendix IV enclosed
with this Circular. The State Treasury shall publicize the list of
counterparties, the schedule, and the results of Government bond repurchase
transactions; decide and notify counterparties of the maturity and volume of
Government bonds to be repurchased in each transaction.
d) In addition to the provisions in
Points a, b, c, and d of this Clause, repurchase transactions of Government
bonds shall comply with Circular No. 30/2019/TT-BTC.
4. Use of temporarily idle state
budget funds for term deposits at commercial banks
a) The State Treasury shall
publicize the schedule, timing, transaction method, and requirements for term
deposit quotations; decide and notify commercial banks of the deposit term and
corresponding deposit amount for each transaction.
b) Term deposits of state budget
funds at commercial banks shall be made on the principle of interest rate
competition, specifically:
The deposit interest rate
applicable to each commercial bank is that bank’s quoted rate, selected in
descending order, ensuring that the cumulative deposit amount up to the lowest
selected interest rate does not exceed the amount offered by the State
Treasury.
The deposit amount at each
commercial bank corresponds to the bank’s quoted amount. Where the cumulative
quoted amount up to the lowest selected interest rate exceeds the State
Treasury’s offered deposit amount, after deducting the quoted amounts at higher
interest rates, the remaining amount shall be allocated to the first commercial
bank quoting at the lowest selected interest rate; where the allocation exceeds
that bank’s quoted amount, the excess shall be allocated sequentially to the
next commercial banks by order of quotation submission.

1. Handling temporary shortages of
state budget funds in Vietnam dong
Based on the quarterly plan for
managing state budget funds approved by the Ministry of Finance, the State Treasury
shall determine the timing and volume of treasury bill issuance, the amount of
early withdrawal of term deposits at commercial banks, to offset temporary
shortages of state budget funds in Vietnam dong, ensuring full and timely
satisfaction of the expenditure needs of the state budget and entities
transacting with the State Treasury.
2. Handling temporary shortages of
state budget funds in foreign currencies
a) Based on the quarterly plan for
managing state budget funds approved by the Ministry of Finance, the State
Treasury shall determine the timing, volume, and types of foreign currencies to
be purchased from commercial banks to meet the expenditure needs of state
budget funds in foreign currencies under Clause 1 Article 8 of Decree No.
24/2016/ND-CP (amended by Clause 5 Article 1 of Decree No. 14/2025/ND-CP) and
Circular No. 02/2021/TT-NHNN dated March 31, 2021 of the Governor of the State
Bank of Vietnam on foreign currency transactions in the foreign exchange market
of licensed credit institutions.
b) The State Treasury shall
purchase foreign currencies from commercial banks licensed to conduct foreign
exchange business (excluding commercial banks under compulsory transfer or
special control) on the principle of exchange rate competition, specifically:
The purchase exchange rate
applicable to each commercial bank is the bank’s quoted selling rate, selected
in ascending order, consistent with regulations of the State Bank of Vietnam on
the spot exchange rate between the Vietnamese dong and the foreign currencies
planned for purchase (if any), ensuring that the cumulative purchase volume up
to the highest selected rate does not exceed the foreign currency amount
offered for purchase by the State Treasury.
The amount of foreign currency
purchased from each commercial bank corresponds to the bank’s quoted selling
amount. Where the cumulative quoted amount up to the highest selected rate
exceeds the foreign currency amount offered for purchase by the State Treasury,
after deducting the amounts determined for purchase at lower selected rates,
the remaining amount shall be allocated to commercial banks quoting at the
highest selected rate in proportion to their quoted selling amounts; any
decimal fraction (if any) shall be rounded down to 1 currency unit.
c) Where foreign currency must be
purchased immediately at the request of transacting entities, the State
Treasury shall purchase foreign currency from one of the commercial banks where
it maintains foreign currency payment accounts and based on the principle of
exchange rate competition.
