“Social credit implemented through the Social Policy Bank has a constantly expanding credit growth scale, the number of people benefiting from preferential credit policies is increasing, and credit quality is improving. At the same time, social credit has contributed to preventing usury and “black credit”, especially in rural areas.

This is one of the economic levers to stimulate the poor and social policy subjects to have conditions to develop production, improve their lives, and assert their position in society" - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Tran Anh Tuan said.

In order for policy credit to truly be an effective tool in achieving the goals of poverty reduction, new rural construction, and ensuring social security, Comrade Luong Nguyen Minh Triet requested Party committees at all levels, authorities, and the provincial branch of the Bank for Social Policies to overcome limitations in management, inspection, and supervision of social policy credit activities.

Improve operational capacity, transfer preferential credit capital to the right beneficiaries and ensure efficiency and safety of capital. Pay attention to expanding beneficiaries, especially low-income civil servants and public employees.

Every year, the People's Council and People's Committee at all levels pay attention to prioritizing a portion of the local budget to supplement the capital source for lending to poor households and social policy beneficiaries in the area. By 2025, the local capital source entrusted will reach 1,000 billion VND and by 2030, the capital source entrusted from the local budget will account for 15% of the total capital source of the Social Policy Bank in the province.

In addition, it is necessary to do a good job of guiding borrowers to use loans effectively; build and replicate typical production and business models, helping each other to escape poverty sustainably and get rich...

“I believe that policy credit activities in the province in the coming time will contribute to the successful implementation of socio-economic development goals, making Quang Nam a well-off province in the country in the spirit of the Resolution of the 22nd Provincial Party Congress (term 2020 - 2025)” - Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Luong Nguyen Minh Triet said.
