In the coming time, Ngo Quang Loi, Deputy Director of the SBV Branch in Hoa Binh, said it will continue focusing on enforcing the State and Party’s related guidelines and policies, particularly financial support packages under the government’s post-pandemic recovery programme; and accelerate inspection over banks and credit institutions and anti-corruption efforts.

It will also closely control credit provision in high-risk sectors, such as investment, real estate, securities, BOT and BT transport projects, and corporate bonds; and strictly monitor credit poured into land use right auctions under the direction of the State Bank of Vietnam.

The SBV Branch has been urging the continued provision of support for pandemic-hit enterprises to push for economic recovery and the effective implementation of policy credit programmes, particularly for the poor and policy beneficiaries.
