(HBO) – The Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development in Yen Thuy district, Hoa Binh province, simplified lending procedures, reformed lending model and methods and coordinated with communes, towns, associations of farmers and women, and other socio-political organisations to roll out favourable lending methods during the first quarter of this year.
At
the same time, the bank observed instructions by the Government and the State
Bank of Vietnam regarding interest rate management and incentives towards
clients, thus promoting the driving role of bank credits in local economic
growth.
The
bank’s total mobilised capital in the quarter reached 984 billion VND,
completing 99.2 percent of the set target. Of the sum, deposits accounted for
61.5 percent, up 23.6 percent year-on-year to 606 billion VND.
Entrusted
capital was 19 billion VND and capital mobilised from higher-level banks stood
at 359 billion VND./.
Once a mountainous province facing many challenges, Hoa Binh has, after more than a decade of implementing the national target programme on new-style rural area development, emerged as a bright spot in Vietnam’s northern midland and mountainous region. In the first quarter of 2025, the province recorded positive results, paving the way for Hoa Binh to enter a phase of accelerated growth with a proactive and confident mindset.
Hoa Binh province is steadily advancing its agricultural sector through the adoption of high-tech solutions, seen as a sustainable path for long-term development.
The steering committee for key projects of Hoa Binh province convened on May 14 to assess the progress of major ongoing developments
A delegation of Hoa Binh province has attended the "Meet Korea 2025" event, recently held by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (RoK) in Vietnam, the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency, and the People's Committee of Hung Yen province.
Hoa Binh province joined Vietnam’s national "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme in 2019, not simply as a mountainous region following central policy, but with a clear vision to revive the cultural and agricultural values in its villages and crops.
From just 16 certified products in its inaugural year to 158 by early 2025, the One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme in Hoa Binh province has followed a steady and strategic path. But beyond the numbers, it has reawakened local heritage, turning oranges, bamboo shoots, brocade, and herbal remedies into branded, market-ready goods - and, more profoundly, transformed how local communities value and present their own cultural identity.
