VOV.VN - More than 700,000 Vietnamese workers are currently employed abroad under contract, earning stable incomes and sending significant remittances worth approximately US$3.5–4 billion per year to the homeland, said the Ministry of Labour, Invalids, and Social Affairs (MOLISA).

Remittances sent by overseas Vietnamese to Ho Chi Minh City are expected to surge about 10% in 2024 from a record high of US$9.46 billion in 2023, according to Nguyen Duc Lenh, Deputy Director of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV)’s Ho Chi Minh City Branch.

VOV.VN - Vietnamese expatriates tend to send home remittances due to global geopolitical insecurities, with the amount expected to rise sharply in the coming days ahead of the lunar New Year festival.

A networking event that links overseas Vietnamese businesspeople and their peers in Vietnam took place virtually on October 12 as part of activities marking Vietnam Entrepreneurs Day (October 13).
