Accordingly, the borrowers of the preferential credit program are customers with projects and plans to serve production and business activities in the forestry and fishery sector. The loan interest rate in Vietnamese Dong is applied at least 1% - 2% lower per year than the average loan interest rate for the same term (short-term, medium-term, long-term) applied by the lending bank itself in each period. The program implementation period is until June 30, 2024.
