According to the State Bank of Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City branch, remittances from Asia account for the highest proportion, nearly 54% of the total.
The amount of remittances to Ho Chi Minh City has always grown over the years, and accounted for about 55% of total remittances to Vietnam over the past three years.
Earlier on September 26, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee approved a project on policies to effectively promote remittance resources to the city until 2030.
The project outlines solutions, aimed at attracting remittance resources to directly accelerate socio-economic development in the southern city, while also directing remittance sources into the spheres of the stock market, production, services, and real estate.
Vietnam received roughly 16 billion USD in 2024. The figure, which came from nearly 6 million Vietnamese residing in 130 countries and territories, contributed to many economic, scientific, educational and healthcare activities in Vietnam./.
