The two branches have proactively adjusted the lending interest rates for outstanding group 1 medium and long-term loans to support customers in reducing difficulties caused by the economic recession at home and abroad. The BIDV system has reduced the lending interest rates for businesses by 1.5 - 2.5%/year, depending on the term range.
After implementing preferential interest rate programs, short-term loan interest rates applied to corporate customers range from 4.5 - 5.5%/year and medium and long-term loan interest rates range from 6.5 - 8.0%/year, depending on the term.

According to Mr. Hoang Duy Chinh, Director of the State Bank of Vietnam, Vinh Phuc branch, the capital absorption capacity of the economy is still low when input costs and imported raw materials are high. The output market, orders, and revenue of enterprises have decreased, leading to many units not having the need to borrow capital, many enterprises even try to pay off old loans, narrowing production and business because there is no need to invest in expansion.
Many businesses do not meet the conditions for loans because their projects, production and business plans are not feasible, their mortgaged assets are not secured, and they do not meet the minimum conditions required by the bank...
Although the interest rate has been adjusted down by the banking sector, businesses still want to continue to lower lending interest rates, especially for old loans. However, the BIDV system in the area is having to mobilize capital according to the market mechanism, without support from the budget, so it cannot meet the request for lending interest rates lower than the mobilization interest rates on the market...
Always accompanying to overcome difficulties and share opportunities with corporate customers, BIDV Vinh Phuc system continues to implement flexible and effective lending programs.
Focusing capital resources to prioritize corporate customers, managing loan interest rates to ensure harmony as well as controlling credit quality well; diversifying and improving the quality of products and services to meet the increasing needs of customers.
