Regarding Ms. Lua's question, on the Government's Electronic Information Portal, Vietnam Social Security responded to this issue as follows:
On June 30, 2024, the Government issued Decree No. 73/2024/ND-CP stipulating the basic salary and bonus regime for cadres, civil servants, public employees and armed forces. Accordingly, from July 1, 2024, the basic salary is 2,340,000 VND/month.
