Responding to the call of the Government and the Prime Minister, from April 2024 to now, the banking sector has contributed 1,365 billion VND to support the elimination of temporary and dilapidated houses nationwide.
In early 2025, implementing the 350-day and night emulation movement launched by the Prime Minister, the Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam and the Vietnam Banking Trade Union called on cadres, union members, and workers in the entire system to donate at least 1 day's salary to build 1,000 new houses for poor households. As a result, the program received 82 billion VND in support, enough to build 1,366 houses (each house received 60 million VND), exceeding the set target by 36.6%.
To meet the support needs of localities, the State Bank of Vietnam has allocated 15 billion VND through the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front and 67 billion VND directly to provinces and cities. In area 14 alone, Can Tho city is supported with 3 billion VND, Vinh Long province 2 billion VND.
