On August 31, 2026, the Government issued Resolution No. 258/NQ-CP, outlining key tasks and solutions to advance the reform of administrative procedures and contribute to achieving double-digit growth between 2026 and 2030. The Resolution focuses on maximizing the reduction and simplification of administrative procedures and business requirements, while transitioning the management approach from pre-approval to post-approval oversight based on risk management. This initiative is designed to improve the investment and business climate, enhance competitiveness, and generate new momentum for growth.
A notable objective is that by 2027, 100% of eligible administrative procedures will be available as end-to-end online public services, and 100% of the outcomes of these procedures will be digitized to allow for data reuse. Citizens and businesses will no longer be required to resubmit information or documents already held by state agencies within their databases, unless otherwise stipulated by specialized legislation. By 2030, 100% of essential public services will be accessible regardless of administrative boundaries, and 100% of public services will be provided proactively, contingent upon the availability of the necessary data and digital infrastructure. The Resolution sets a target that, by 2030, the satisfaction index of citizens and businesses regarding the services provided by state administrative agencies in handling administrative procedures must reach at least 95%. The direction, management, and evaluation of reform efforts will be based on real-time data and linked to the accountability of the heads of these agencies. The Government also mandates the continued, effective operation of the National Public Service Portal, with the goal of it becoming the nation’s primary "single-window" access point.
Administrative procedure reform is defined as an ongoing, continuous task for all ministries, sectors, and localities—one that is intrinsically linked to the control of power, the prevention of corruption and malpractice, and the strengthening of administrative discipline and order. The Government demands the resolute elimination of "ask-give" (discretionary approval) mechanisms and the curbing of tendencies to evade or shift responsibilities. Furthermore, the time and costs incurred by citizens and businesses are to serve as the primary benchmarks for measuring the quality of reform. Efforts to connect and share data across national and specialized databases will also be intensified to reduce the number of required documents and simplify administrative processes.
Additionally, the Resolution calls for greater decentralization and delegation of authority in handling administrative procedures, while ensuring that local authorities are equipped with the necessary resources and personnel capacity. The handling of feedback and petitions from citizens and businesses must be substantive and timely; ministries, sectors, and localities are urged to enhance dialogue, consultation, and the solicitation of reform initiatives from the business community. By October 1, 2026, all ministries, sectors, and localities must develop detailed implementation plans, clearly defining their objectives, timelines, and the specific units responsible for execution. Reforms to administrative procedures and shifts in management approaches are driving significant changes in the investment climate, while creating opportunities for businesses to proactively research and implement projects.
