Proposal to calculate salary groups of Vietlott and Southern lottery companies
News from the Ministry of Finance, this ministry has just sent comments to the Ministry of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs on the draft decree on labor management, wages, remuneration, and bonuses in state-owned enterprises.
GOLD PRICE UPDATE
Accordingly, the draft regulations show that Vietnam Computerized Lottery Company (Vietlott) is ranked in the same salary group as lottery companies in the Southern region.
However, Vietlott has a unique business model that is different from other Southern lottery companies because this is a business cooperation model with foreign partners.
Specifically, foreign partners invest capital in the technical infrastructure of the computerized lottery business. Every year, Vietlott pays a fee to the foreign partner at a percentage of ticket sales revenue during the implementation of the business cooperation project.
Due to the above partner fee, compared to Southern lottery companies with the same revenue scale, Vietlott's annual profit will be about 500 billion VND lower.
Therefore, the Ministry of Finance recommends that when calculating Vietlott's profit target to determine the basic salary, it should add the content of the annual fee payable to foreign partners according to the business cooperation contract.
From the above opinions, the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs reviews and synthesizes a report to the Prime Minister.

However, in terms of capitalization, the foreign ownership ratio reached approximately 21% on November 29, 2024, down from 22.2% at the end of 2023 but still higher than 19.5% in 2012 and most recently 20.3% in 2021 when the market size had improved significantly.
Foreign investors had a net selling month almost throughout and showed signs of returning to net buying in the last week of the month when the domestic exchange rate cooled down.
According to SSI, the net selling value of foreign investors increased to nearly VND12,000 billion in November, including VND9,500 billion through the order matching channel and VND2,500 billion through the negotiation channel.
Accordingly, the proportion of foreign transactions increased to 13.92% at the end of November, the highest since April 2023. Foreign investors sold strongly in the pillars of residential real estate, banking, financial services and food and beverage, putting pressure on stock prices. Meanwhile, the groups that were slightly net bought included personal and household goods, electricity, water and gasoline, and insurance.
Securities accounts will be suspended from online trading if citizen identification has not been updated.
According to the State Securities Commission's official dispatch on reviewing and standardizing investor data under Project 06, from January 1, 2025, for cases where investors have completed the verification, update, and standardization of securities account information, the units will provide normal services.
On the contrary, for investors who have not yet cooperated to complete the update, the committee recommends that units request investors to complete the update and standardize information before making transactions.
Previously, the requirement to update citizen identification was required for investors from October 1, 2024.
Later, this deadline was extended to early 2025. The above extension of the account verification deadline was due to many securities companies facing difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process.
Some units have proposed to postpone the completion deadline so that they have time to deploy technical solutions to authenticate, standardize, and clean up data on individual investors.
