"No increase in civil servant salaries, but must increase pensions and allowances in 2025"

(Dan Tri) - National Assembly delegates proposed increasing pensions and allowances, especially allowances for people with meritorious services in 2025.

Discussing the socio-economic situation on the morning of November 4, delegate Tran Hoang Ngan (HCMC) said that in 2024, Vietnam will continue to maintain socio-economic stability, inflation will be controlled... The delegate also agreed with the Government's report that in 2025, it will strive for growth of 6.5-7% and higher at 7-7.5%. Regarding the group of solutions, the delegate reiterated the country's three growth drivers. First, regarding exports, the Government said that in the first 9 months of the year, growth was 15.4%. However, the proportion of domestic exports is still low, about 28%. Therefore, Mr. Ngan said that it is necessary to have a policy to connect FDI enterprises with domestic enterprises and have a strategy to develop mechanical engineering industry, supporting service industry, materials and accessories industry. In particular, it is necessary to pay more attention to Vietnamese brands in the agricultural and aquatic products industry.

Delegates were pleased that products with Vietnamese intelligence, digital technology products, and information technology were exported to international markets with 1,500 digital technology enterprises. Second, total social investment capital increased. However, Mr. Ngan said that social investment capital in the private sector increased slowly, while the foreign investment sector increased rapidly. Therefore, the delegate said that there should be a comprehensive policy to support Vietnamese enterprises, especially small and medium enterprises. Third, domestic consumption is still low compared to before the pandemic. Therefore, the delegate from Ho Chi Minh City suggested that there should be a policy to support consumption, especially tax reduction, to encourage Vietnamese people to use Vietnamese goods. In particular, Mr. Ngan proposed to pay attention to the issue of pensions, subsidies, and subsidies for people with meritorious services in 2025. Because next year there will be many important events for the nation. "We hope the Government will propose to increase pensions and allowances. We can not increase public sector salaries, but we must increase pensions and allowances," the delegate emphasized.
