According to a decision signed on October 12 by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, 250 billion VND will be allocated to Thai Nguyen while Cao Bang, Lang Son, and Bac Ninh will receive 50 billion VND each to address urgent needs and support post-flood recovery.
The PM requested provincial authorities to manage and use the funds in line with regulations, ensuring transparency and accountability, and to report on the use to relevant ministries for summarisation and report to the PM.
The latest move followed the PM's October 8 decision to allocate 140 billion VND from the 2025 central budget contingency fund to help the four provinces recover from recent floods, including 50 billion VND for Thai Nguyen and 30 billion VND each for the remaining three.
On October 2, PM Chinh signed a decision to provide over 2.52 trillion VND for 15 provinces affected by Typhoon Bualoi and other natural disasters since the year's beginning. They consist of Tuyen Quang (200 billion VND), Cao Bang (195 billion VND), Lang Son (20 billion VND), Lao Cai (200 billion VND), Thai Nguyen (20 billion VND), Phu Tho (20 billion VND), Son La (200 billion VND), Lai Chau (24 billion VND), Dien Bien (90 billion VND), Ninh Binh (20 billion VND), Thanh Hoa (200 billion VND), Nghe An (500 billion VND), Ha Tinh (500 billion VND), Quang Tri (200 billion VND), and Hue (135 billion VND).
