On December 30, 2025, the Government issued Decree No. 351/2025/ND-CP stipulating the national multidimensional poverty standard for the period 2026-2030.
The national multidimensional poverty line is built on the basis of combining income criteria and the level of shortage in accessing basic social services, ensuring to reflect the minimum living standards of people in accordance with the socio-economic development conditions of the country in the period 2026-2030.
At the same time, it serves as a basis for determining beneficiaries and organizing the implementation of poverty reduction and social security policies.
After Decree No. 351/2025/ND-CP of the Government was issued, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development issued Circular No. 25/2026/TT-BNNMT dated May 27, 2026 guiding the process and methods of reviewing and recognizing poor households, near-poor households, and households escaping poverty according to the national multidimensional poverty standard for the period 2027-2030.
The issuance of the Circular contributes to completing the legal basis for localities to organize reviews, identify the right subjects, ensure publicity, transparency, and unity in implementing poverty reduction and social security policies" - the document signed by Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Trinh Viet Hung clearly stated.
In the process of researching and developing the above documents, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development has taken into account the reality in the context of fluctuating prices, living costs and inflation, ensuring that the poverty line accurately reflects the reality of people's lives.

The implementation of policies to support poor households, near-poor households, and households that have just escaped poverty contributes to ensuring social security and implementing the goal of sustainable poverty reduction.
