The flow of overseas remittances to Ho Chi Minh City is estimated to reach about 8.92 billion USD in 2023, up 35% year on year, said Deputy Director of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV)’s Branch in HCM City Nguyen Duc Lenh.
Ho Chi Minh City’s financial sector has forecast that the southern economic hub’s budget revenue collection may face a shortfall of 4-5% this year as compared to the assigned estimate, mainly due to a decrease in revenue collection from import-export activities.
