Military bank pledges low-cost loans to SMEs

Small- and medium-d enterprises can access preferential loans up to VND20 trillion (US$920 million) from the Viet Nam Military Joint Stock Commercial Bank (MB).

The programme includes long-term loans in Vietnamese dong and US dollar, and medium-term loans for production and business activities, agricultural and rural projects and infrastructure development.

The interest rate for the loans will fluctuate between 6.9 to 9.5 per cent per year.
