HÀ NỘI — The Ministry of Finance will propose to the Government that the number of State-owned cars are cut by 30 to 50 per cent by 2020. According to the law, only top leaders from the deputy ministerial rank and above were eligible to use State-owned cars. As of October last year, the ministry began curbing the use of State-owned cars in an effort to reduce State spending. Alternatively, they could use their own cars and still receive the subsidy, but the use of State-owned cars was prohibited. Each official is given a travel allowance of VNĐ9 million per month, and each unit is allowed to operate two State-owned cars for business travel.
