Accordingly,tFrom July 1, 2019, the basic salary applicable to cadres, civil servants, public employees, salary and allowance recipients and employees (salary and allowance recipients) working in agencies, organizations, and public service units of the Party, State, and socio-political organizations will be adjusted to VND 1,490,000/month instead of the old salary of VND 1,390,000/month.
The Government requests ministries, ministerial-level agencies, government agencies, and other central agencies to use the 10% savings source of the 2019 regular expenditure estimate, which is higher than the 2018 estimate assigned by competent authorities; a part of the revenue source is retained according to the regime of administrative agencies and public service units; and the unused 2018 salary reform source is transferred (if any) to implement salary increases.
The central budget supplements the missing funding source due to the adjustment of the 2019 basic salary level for ministries, ministerial-level agencies, government agencies, other central agencies and provinces and centrally run cities.
