Only VND728 billion ($31 million) has so far been disbursed out of the VND6.6 trillion ($281 million) of the housing rental support package for employees, or 11.23 per cent. Some localities disbursed less than 1 per cent and four have not disbursed any funds. Disbursement in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi represented just 7.1 per cent and 12.3 per cent, respectively.
