(HBO) – As of September 30, the branch of the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies (VBSP) in Hoa Binh province had disbursed more than 3,400 loans worth 212.3 billion VND (over 8.5 million USD) for socio-economic recovery and development under the Government’s Resolution 11/NQ-CP.
In particular, the lending programme for job creation,
maintenance, and expanson saw 100 billion VND (fulfilling the target) disbursed
for more than 2,000 borrowers, and the lending programme for social housing
over 101 billion VND for 309 borrowers. About 9.8 billion VND (nearly 90% of
the target) was lent out to more than 1,000 disadvantaged students to buy
computers and other devices for online learning. A total of 1.24 billion VND
was also allocated for 15 non-public kindergartens and primary schools affected
by the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, funding hasn’t been disbursed for the
national target programme on socio-economic development in ethnic minority and
mountainous areas. The borrowing demand under this programme is 153.2 billion
VND.
The VBSP branch said the credit programmes under
the Government’s Resolution 11/NQ-CP have been carried out effectively, adding
that they are meaningful to helping with social security and socio-economic
recovery and development after the pandemic./.
During the two days of November 14th – 15th, at the Provincial Cultural Palace, the Department of Industry and Trade organized a conference to connect the product consumption of the ethnic minorities and the mountainous areas in 2024. There was the attendance of the representatives of leaders of a number of departments, branches, businesses, manufacturers and distributors inside and outside the province.
The One Commune One Product (OCOP) programme is reshaping the rural economy of Lac Son district, helping improve living standards, particularly among the ethnic minority communities in remote areas of Lac Son district.
The Van Mai dam xanh (Bangana lemassoni) fish has long been famous for its unique and delicious flavour, earning a spot on the menus of many restaurants and attracting food connoisseurs. In recent years, residents in Van Mai commune, Mai Chau district, have expanded their fish farming areas and striven to build a strong reputation for their product. They are also working to establish it as an OCOP (One Commune, One Product) item to increase their income.
Outstanding rural industrial products of Hoa Binh province in 2024 were recently honoured and granted certificates, becoming a source of pride for producers and also a boost for local economic development. The honourees are all deeply imbued with the local cultural identity and boast considerable commercial potential, helping popularise the image of Hoa Binh to domestic and international consumers. This is also a solid stepping stone for rural industrial establishments to develop.
In the first 10 months of 2024, Hoa Binh city made significant progress in job creation and labour exports, sending 112 workers abroad through partnerships with authorised recruitment firms.
An award ceremony to announce the official certification for Mai Chau district’s Bangana lemassoni fish, a specialty of the locality because of its unique flavour, was held recently in the district.
