BEIJING - Reservoir resettlement migrants have received 99.9 billion yuan ($15.84 billion) in subsidies between January and October, China's Ministry of Finance (MOF) said on Wednesday.
The amount in subsidies to large and medium-sized reservoir resettlement migrants is 11.3 percent more than for the same ten-month period last year, the ministry said.
China has been providing 600 yuan per year as a follow-up subsidy to each migrant since July 1, 2006. The subsidy is set to last 20 years.
A total of 23.93 million migrants benefit from the subsidy.
The MOF has earmarked 1.89 billion yuan to subsidize migrants for 2013.
