Every Vietnamese to receive VND 100,000 to celebrate National Day
As of April 2024, Vietnam's total population stands at more than 101 million people. This means the budget for this campaign will stand at over VND10 trillion (US$380 million).
Every Vietnamese citizen will receive VND100,000 (US$3.8) to mark the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day (September 2).
The decision was confirmed in Official Telegram No. 149/CD-TTg, issued by the Prime Minister on Thursday.
Gifts will be distributed nationwide via bank transfer or direct payment before September 2, 2025.
The initiative was proposed by the Government Party Committee and later approved by the Politburo.
With Vietnam’s population exceeding 101 million as of April 2024, the programme is expected to cost more than VND10 trillion (US$380 million).
The Prime Minister’s directive assigns specific responsibilities to the Ministry of Finance, the State Bank of Vietnam, the Ministry of Public Security, local people’s committees, and other agencies to ensure the timely, secure, and accurate delivery of gifts.
The Ministry of Finance will lead budget allocation and proper balance of state finances, while the State Bank will ensure smooth payment systems and adequate cash supply, guaranteeing timely, uninterrupted distribution, with no omissions or duplications.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Vietnam Television (VTV), the Voice of Vietnam (VOV), and the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) are tasked to carry out communication work on this nationwide benefit, fostering a festive and united atmosphere among the people on the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day.
The Government Office will be responsible for monitoring and supervising the implementation of the Prime Minister's official telegram and reporting any issues that fall beyond its mandate.
