  Save 2.8 million yuan! Recently, through the national state-owned asset adjustment and sharing platform for administrative and public institutions, some idle scientific research instruments from the Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology, Chinese Academy of Sciences have been transferred to Anhui West College for free, solving the instrument demand problem of Anhui West College.

  "The adjustment and sharing platform has solved the problem of supply and demand information asymmetry in the past. We can find the required equipment nationwide, quickly match demand, and efficiently handle asset transfer procedures. Through this adjustment, we not only save funds, but also greatly shorten the asset allocation time, effectively supporting scientific research in the fields of pharmacological efficacy analysis, separation and identification of traditional Chinese medicine, and biological materials." A relevant person in charge of Anhui West Anhui University said.

  The state-owned assets of administrative and public institutions are the material basis and important guarantee for the development of the Party and the country. In recent years, through the joint efforts of financial departments, competent departments and administrative institutions at all levels, the management of state-owned assets of administrative institutions has been continuously strengthened, but there is still a phenomenon of idle and inefficiency of assets coexisting, and the adjustment of supply and demand information is not easy to match.

  In order to further improve the allocation and use of state-owned assets of administrative and public institutions and strengthen the coordination of fiscal resources and budgets, in January 2025, the Ministry of Finance established a national state-owned assets adjustment and sharing platform for administrative and public institutions based on the integrated budget management system.

  How does this platform operate and realize asset adjustment and sharing?

  "The platform covers administrative and public institutions across the country, and sets up functions of adjustment squares, sharing squares, and demand squares to query adjustable asset information, shared asset information, and asset adjustment and sharing needs proposed by the unit, effectively match information between supply and demand parties, and greatly improve the efficiency of asset adjustment and sharing." A relevant person in charge of the Asset Management Department of the Ministry of Finance said.

  The person in charge said that the platform makes full use of the asset adjustment and sharing function in the central and local integrated systems, and uses the integrated system resources and the national asset management model that connects the national vertical and horizontal assets to achieve the aggregation and release of national asset adjustment and sharing information.

  Simply put, it is like a "second-hand platform" for administrative and public institutions' assets. Administrative and public institutions in various departments and regions can publish their idle assets information on the platform, or view and apply for idle assets of other units. Compared with the original offline asset adjustment and sharing method, the platform covers a wider range, has a richer asset variety, and can achieve intelligent matching.

  "By optimizing asset management and strengthening adjustment and sharing, the 'sleeping' assets can be turned into 'live water' for increasing income." Bai Yanfeng, professor at the School of Finance and Taxation of Central University of Finance and Economics, said that adjusting and sharing assets is an effective means to achieve gradient use of assets, extend the service life of assets, and make the best use of the goods. It is of great significance to saving financial funds and ensuring that units perform their duties.

  It is worth noting that this platform relies on an integrated system that has been built and applied across the country, and does not require additional construction and operation and maintenance costs. It is operated by staff from financial departments and administrative institutions to achieve the improvement of asset use and disposal benefits at the lowest cost.

  Local financial departments such as Anhui and Hebei have taken the lead in carrying out the work of "improving the platform, information registration, and matching assets"; laptops provided by the National Marine Environment Monitoring Center of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment have solved the problem of computer shortage of offices in 10 units in Suzhou and Fuyang, Anhui Province... Since the establishment of the platform, the role of adjustment and sharing has become increasingly apparent, saving valuable "real money".

  Up to now, this platform has covered all administrative and public institutions across the country, gathering nearly 200,000 asset adjustment and sharing and demand information, promoting cross-departmental, cross-level, and cross-regional asset adjustment and sharing. Platform applications are entering the "fast lane".

  The Central Economic Work Conference held at the end of last year clearly stated that it is necessary to coordinate the relationship between improving the incremental volume and revitalizing the existing volume, and comprehensively improve the efficiency of resource allocation.

  Bai Yanfeng said that making the "sleeping" assets "live" will effectively solve the problems of repeated allocation of assets and idle waste in administrative and public institutions. This will not only save resources, but also effectively add value to national wealth, and drive incremental growth with stocks.

  The reporter learned that at present, central departments and local financial departments are inventorying idle and inefficient assets, promptly pushing adjustment sharing and demand information to the platform, and making full use of the platform to further improve asset management efficiency. More and more "sleeping" assets will be awakened and revitalized, providing more support for ensuring the performance of units and their career development.
