HBO - The credit programme targeting needy households under Decree 78/2002/ND-CP is among major credit programmes and accounts for the biggest proportion of the Viet Nam Bank for Social Policies (VBSP)’s credit structure.
In the past years, this source of preferential loans had
reached all villages and hamlets in Hoa Binh province, basically meeting local
poor households’ demand for capital. The financial assistance was mostly
invested in animal husbandry, afforestation, and citrus fruit cultivation,
helping improve the group’s livelihoods and living standards while changing
their methods of doing business.
According to the VBSP, as of the end of February, more than
10.5 billion VND had been lent to 296 customers under the programme, while the
bank collected a total debt payment of over 15 billion VND. Outstanding debt balance
surpassed 917 billion VND with 31,605 customers.
The programme has so far helped needy households earn better
incomes and reduce poverty.
