Urgently giving Independence Day gifts, more than 5,600 billion VND has been spent

The State Treasury said: Implementing the Prime Minister 's Official Dispatch No. 149/CD-TTg dated August 28, 2025 on giving gifts to people on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2, the units assigned with direct tasks are urgently "racing against time", many officials and civil servants are working throughout the holiday to ensure that the gift money reaches people promptly and fully, trying to complete before September 2, 2025.

On August 29, 2025, the Ministry of Finance issued Official Dispatch 13578/BTC-NSNN providing specific instructions on gift giving. Accordingly, gifts are given to households and citizens can receive them in two forms. First, transfer money through the social security account integrated on the VNeID electronic identification application. Second, receive directly in cash at the payment point organized by the locality, in case people have not integrated their social security account on VNeID.

The Commune People's Committee is assigned to decide on the location for gift distribution in accordance with actual conditions, while prioritizing convenient locations for citizens. The time for giving and receiving gifts begins from August 30 and is completed before September 2, 2025. In case of objective reasons, people can still receive gifts after this deadline, but no later than September 15, 2025. The Ministry of Finance has also fully allocated funds to localities for implementation.

Meanwhile, to ensure that the Prime Minister's direction and the Ministry of Finance's guidance are strictly implemented, the Director of the State Treasury (KBNN) issued Official Dispatch No. 09/CD-KBNN dated August 29, 2025. The Official Dispatch requires the Regional Directors of the State Treasury to thoroughly grasp the spirit of Conclusion No. 183-KT/TW of the Politburo , the Secretariat and Resolution No. 260/NQ-CP dated August 29, 2025 of the Government. All State Treasury officers must be highly focused, arrange human resources to work during the holidays, and immediately receive and process the expenditure records of the People's Committees of communes.

In addition, the State Treasury system also urgently supports localities in receiving and allocating budgets, in order to speed up the delivery of Independence Day gifts to each person.

According to quick data compiled by the State Treasury, as of 1:30 p.m. on August 31, 2025, 1,929 communes out of 3,321 communes had completed receiving funds and organizing gift giving. This figure accounts for 58.08% of the total amount paid of VND 5,687.1 billion, equivalent to 53.15% of the total estimated budget of VND 10,700.3 billion.

Notably, 11/34 provinces and cities have completed the withdrawal of funds and the distribution of gifts to citizens with a payment rate of over 92%. Of which, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen and Quang Tri have completed 100% of the transfer of funds to communes and the distribution of gifts to people.

Many other localities have also basically completed their tasks. In Da Nang, 91/94 communes have delivered gifts. Ha Tinh has completed 65/69 communes, Lai Chau has completed 37/38 communes, Lang Son has completed 60/65 communes, Lao Cai has completed 96/99 communes. Nghe An has paid 127/130 communes, Quang Ninh has paid 44/51 communes and Thanh Hoa has paid 163/166 communes.

In addition, many other provinces and cities are continuing to speed up progress and mobilize maximum human resources to ensure gifts reach citizens on time for the anniversary.

Furthermore, localities and units, including the State Treasury, have identified this as a particularly important political task. Therefore, they are highly focused and making efforts to fulfill the Government's instructions so that all citizens can receive gifts to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day, September 2.

However, some places still have objective problems with terrain, infrastructure or weather conditions, causing progress to be slower. However, with high determination, the units are committed to completing the gift delivery no later than September 15, 2025.

Finally, with the spirit of urgency, determination, and synchronous coordination of ministries, branches and localities, the Independence Day gift giving program promises to bring complete joy to all people. This is also an opportunity for each person to share their pride and solidarity towards the 80th anniversary of the glorious history of the nation.
