The HCM City Real Estate Association has recently proposed that the central bank should allow lenders to use 45 per cent of their short-term deposits for long- and medium-term loans next year instead of 40 per cent as it has...
The new restriction on banks of using only 40 per cent of their short-term deposits for long and medium-term loans should not take effect next year, the HCM City Real Estate Association has said.
Interest rates on long - and medium-term loans
should be lowered by at least 1.5-2 per cent to speed up credit growth
and help companies revive, National Assembly delegates from HCM City
have told commercial banks.
It is necessary to further cut interest rates on long- and medium-term
loans to enable companies to expand and invest in equipment and
technology, the HCM City People''s Committee has said.
