The Government is set to implement a state-funded credit package valued at VNĐ30 trillion (US$1.2 billion) aimed at enhancing social housing initiatives and replacing the current package that was deemed ineffective.
Vingroup and Techcombank have proposed a new social housing credit package with a fixed 4.8 per cent interest rate for the first five years, a 30-year loan term and loans covering up to 100 per cent of the purchase price.
According to the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV), only 68 of such projects, located in 28 out of 63 cities and provinces across the country, have been announced to date.
