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.
