Units and individuals respond to the “Savings for the poor” week

The programme, from March 21 to April 21, with its peak from March 21-26, saw the participation of all-level Party Committees, authorities and organisations entrusted by the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies. Each organisation, individual and business opened a savings of at least 500,000 VND (21.3 USD), for terms ranging from one to 12 months.
