Hanoi to further support workers during pandemic

Hanoi has proposed an additional VND500 billion ($21.87 million) be lent to workers in the city through the local Vietnam Bank for Social Policies branch to help restore production and business, support job creation, and overcome the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. The additional capital is expected to meet about 44 per cent of workers’ capital needs and contribute to the creation of 10,000 jobs.
