Accordingly, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) will continue working with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development to effectively implement monetary policy management measures to increase business access to bank credit programmes to support manufacturing and the export of agro-forestry-aquatic products.

Credit organisations are encouraged to balance capital sources and reduce loan interest rates for prioritised fields – including agriculture, rural development and exports.
They are allowed to restructure business debt payment deadlines while improving consumer trust.

The SBV also provides foreign currency loans for agriculture firms at reasonable interest rates and expands Government Decree 55/2015/ND-CP on supporting credit loans for agriculture and rural development, which took effect in July 2015.
