(HBO) – Since the year’s beginning, the banking sector in Hoa Binh province has taken various financial and credit-related measures to meet local development demand, thereby actively contributing to the realisation of the twin targets of containing COVID-19 and boosting socio-economic recovery and development.
The Hoa Binh branch of Agribank has applied COVID-19
prevention and control measures to its operations.
Deputy Director of the State Bank of Vietnam
(SBV)’s provincial branch Ngo Quang Loi said due to the COVID-19 impact, the
local economy has yet to gained good growth while enterprises have still
encountered certain difficulties since the year’s beginning.
Facing that fact, the provincial SBV branch has
been taking solutions to assist businesses to improve their competitiveness and
help improve the local investment and business climate.
In the time ahead, the branch will order the
continued implementation of COVID-19 prevention and control measures,
coordinate with relevant departments and sectors to have a good grasp of the
production and business situation, and keep a close watch on the pandemic’s
developments so as to effectively carry out appropriate measures for support
businesses and people, Loi said.
Besides, it will work to better the business
environment in the fields within its remit so as to help improve Hoa Binh
province’s competitiveness, he went on.
Meanwhile, credit organisations will press on
with measures removing difficulties that face the borrowers hit by the
pandemic, provide timely and sufficient capital for feasible projects and
business plans, and prioritise loans for agriculture, rural development, along
with the programmes benefiting from preferential credit as identified by the
Government.
Communications about cashless payment will also
be increased so as to encourage clients to use e-banking services.
The SBV branch in Hoa Binh will also urge
tightened control over credit for high-risk areas like real estate and securities
while enhancing risk management over loans for consumption and high-risk
transactions./.
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.

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.
