Identifying that preferential loans are the key to helping poor and near-poor households escape poverty, Phu Tho requested the Provincial Social Policy Bank to review the loan needs of poor and near-poor households and promptly deploy preferential credit sources to beneficiaries according to regulations. The province continues to effectively implement preferential credit policies for students, especially poor students and students from families with difficult circumstances; ensuring that members of poor and near-poor households who need to work abroad can borrow capital from the Social Policy Bank.

Departments, branches and organizations strictly implement the process of reviewing poor and near-poor households in 2025, accurately reflecting the socio-economic situation of the locality; review and classify poor and near-poor households to ensure accuracy, fairness and no subjects are left out. Localities promote propaganda on the goal of deep poverty reduction to all levels, branches, classes of people and the poor to change and transform awareness in poverty reduction work, arouse the will to be proactive and rise up of the poor, mobilize people to contribute to poverty reduction work, receive and effectively use policies and support resources from the State and the community to escape poverty.
