HCMC – Nearly VND10,428.6 billion had been disbursed to over 3,000 communes and wards for the distribution of National Day (September 2) cash gifts as of 11 a.m. on September 1, accounting for 96.99% of the allocated budget, showed data from the State Treasury.
Eighteen provinces and cities, including Hue, Bac Ninh, Ca Mau, Cao Bang, Dong Thap, Ha Tinh, Hung Yen, Lam Dong, Lai Chau, Khanh Hoa, Lang Son, Lao Cai, Nghe An, Ninh Binh, Quang Ninh, Son La, Quang Tri, and Thanh Hoa, completed fund withdrawals from the State Treasury to distribute VND100,000 in cash to each citizen.
In the remaining provinces and cities, over 90% of communes and wards have completed withdrawals, ensuring the timely delivery of money to citizens.
Previously, the Politburo approved a policy to give a cash gift of VND100,000 per person to all Vietnamese on the occasion of the 80th anniversaries of the August Revolution and National Day (September 2).
The initiative reflects the Party and State’s care for the people and implements the directive of Party General Secretary To Lam.
Vietnam’s population is more than 100 million, so the Government will allocate more than VND10 trillion for the gift handout.
