Poverty Relief
The Ministry of Finance (MOF) said
on July 19 that more than 66 billion
yuan ($9.87 billion) has been ap-
proved for local authorities to spend
on poverty relief. The amount has
increased over 40 percent year on
year.
The funds will be used to
relocate rural households, help
minorities, increase relief work and
revive state-owned farms, said an
MOF statement.
Vice Premier Wang Yang said
in early July that the government
should strengthen capital and
personnel support to achieve the
annual poverty reduction target.
China aims to reduce its impov-
erished population by more than 10
million this year as part of an ambi-
tious plan to completely eliminate
poverty by 2020.
