the beginning of the year to over 46.32 billion VND (1.99 million USD) to 1,218
households who received 35 million VND (1,505 USD) each on average.
Since the
beginning of this year, the bank collected over 18 billion VND (774,000 USD) of
loans.
Total outstanding
balance of the programme to offer loans for households that newly escaping from
poverty has so far reached nearly 202 billion VND (8.68 million USD) on 5,672
customers.
Surveys show
that the recipients have effectively used the capital, mostly in production and
business operations.
Currently, the
Hoa Binh chapter of the VBSP has enhanced communications, while giving advice
to the People’s Committees at all levels to review and supplement the list of
households managing to escape from poverty, thus laying a foundation for the
bank to provide loans.
Alongside, the
bank has created optimal conditions for the households to access concessional
capital to invest in production, thus stabilize their life and getting rid of
poverty in a sustainable manner.-VNA
