Agribank offers businesses $887m credit package

The Viet Nam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Agribank) has decided to provide a credit package worth VND20 trillion (US$887 million) with a preferential interest rate for businesses.

 

The fund targets business customers on the occasion of the upcoming Independence Day (September 2) with a maximum annual interest rate of 5.5 per cent.

The programme is aimed at providing short-term mobile loans for businesses' production and trade projects and mid- and long-term loans for implementing their investment projects.
