Interest rates have been less than six per cent and eight per cent a year for short-term and mid-term loans.
In addition, the bank has launched preferential products and policies for prioritised sectors, including agriculture, rural development, exports, support industry and startups.The programme has been continuously implemented since 2012. MB has committed to provide maximum supports to SMEs. It will also have solutions to resolve businesses’ difficulties in accessing the bank’s loans for their production.
