This Tet BIDV will present 60,000 gifts to people in need, including those affected by natural disasters across the country. On this occasion, BIDV also summarized the running competition "Warm Tet for the poor - Love for the Central region " - a meaningful community sports programme that attracted nearly 60,000 participants.

In 2020, fierce natural disasters from droughts and serious floods in the Central region, to severe cold in the Northern mountainous region, as well as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, have significantly affected the lives of people in remote and isolated areas. BIDV Trade Union continues to support people in need, particularly as Tet approaches. The union has called for tens of thousands of Tet gifts to be donated by its employees. A community running competition "Warm Tet for the poor – Love for the Central region", generated VND13.8 billion (USD600,000) converted from the recorded results of participants, contributing thousands more gifts this Tet.
