Hanoi to pay VND 9 million per month for those not using State-owned cars

• Public Security Forces must be clean and powerful: State President
• Vietnam real estate in good shape for 2017
• Nearly 120 billion VND saved from State-own car spending in 2016

The Hanoi Municipal Department of Finance recently asked all municipal departments, agencies, organizations, unions, districts and towns to recheck all state-owned cars staffed to them.

Accordingly, Hanoi will start a pilot project to pay a flat rate of VND 9 million per month for high-ranking officers, who stop using State-owned cars. The project will first target the 4 departments of Finance; Transportation; Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs; and Planning and Investment, and the 4 districts of Long Bien , Ha Dong, Gia Lam and Thanh Tri.

Accordingly, leaders of agencies, organizations and units, who are provided with State-own cars for their travelling under the current regulations, will use their personal transport means or public transportation systems instead, and receive VND 9 million per month in return.  

The municipal departments and agencies and other relevant institutions, district Party committees, town Party committees, or People's Councils at all levels will be permitted to have up to 2 cars each, for institutional purposes only. For office-level agencies and organizations of a district will have one car each.

The project will be applied to all agencies and organizations of Hanoi from July 1, 2017.
