The index was based on Vietnamese nationals’ expectations of the value of the domestic currency, employment, economy and personal living standards.

The company revealed that households who earn more than VND 13 million (USD 600) monthly account for 57 percent of the population while 30 percent earn from VND 6.5 million (USD 292) to VND 13.5 million (USD 607) monthly.

The ratio has improved remarkably over the last decade when only five percent of households earned more than VND 13 million and 17 percent earned between VND 6.5 million and VND 13.5 million.
