According to the statistics of the bank, in 2020, the social housing lending programme offered loans worth over 8.7 billion VND for 25 customers. The total outstanding loans reached nearly 15 billion VND with 46 customers as of December 31, 2020.
From the beginning of this year, the VBSP has allocated an additional 45 billion VND to its Hoa Binh branch, which is expected to meet the demand for loans of customers to help them pay for housing buying under contracts with investors. In the first six months of 2021, the branch disbursed over 4.5 billion VND for 17 households, bringing the total outstanding balance of the credit programme to nearly 19 billion VND with 62 customers with outstanding loans.
According to a leader of the provincial branch of the VBSP, the interest rate of loans under the Social Housing Lending Programme is 4.8 percent a year as regulated in the Government’s Decree No. 100/2015/ND-CP. The beneficiaries include revolution contributors, low-income people, poor households, and near-poor households in urban areas, workers of enterprises inside and outside industrial parks, military officers, non-commissioned officers, workers in agencies and units of the public security forces and the People's Army, and civil servants as prescribed by law.
Customers can borrow up to 80 percent of the contract value for the case of buying or renting social housing and 70 percent of the estimated value for the construction of a new house or renovation or repair of existing houses for a maximum period of 25 years./.
Maximizing local potential and advantages, Yen Tri commune in Yen Thuy district is actively promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs and turning medicinal herbs into One Commune - One Product (OCOP) products.
Situated at the gateway to the Northwest, Hoa Binh province has a population of over 900,000, including about 540,000 of working age. It is home to 6,000 businesses and production facilities, providing employment for over 100,000 workers. The remaining workforce is engaged in informal jobs, works in enterprises outside the province, or contributes to agro-forestry-fisheries. Additionally, around 3,000 workers are employed abroad.
The Hoa Binh provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2767/QD-UBND announcing the rankings of departments, agencies, districts and Hoa Binh city in the Public Administration Reform Index (PAR) and the Satisfaction Index of Public Administration Services (SIPAS) in 2024.
The cultivation of Dam Xanh fish (Bangana lemassoni), a unique fish species, has seen remarkable growth in Mai Chau district, thanks to its high economic value and effectiveness. Initially concentrated in Van Mai commune, farming has now extended to four other communes, namely Mai Hich, Mai Ha, Chieng Chau, and Son Thuy. These areas benefit from pristine underground water flowing from mountain crevices, providing ideal conditions for raising this specialty fish.
In 2024, the total state budget revenue of Hoa Binh Province is estimated at approximately VND 6,930 billion, achieving 183% of the Government’s target, 126% of the target assigned by the Provincial People's Council, and 145% compared to the same period last year.
