The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has extended the credit growth limits for the second time this year to some commercial banks, of which the highest level is up to 30%.
Outstanding loans in Vietnam exceeded VND8.79 quadrillion (US$378.74 billion) as of November 17, an increase of 7.26% from the end of 2019, according to the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV).
Commercial banks are trying to boost individual consumer loans, especially to home and car buyers, since credit growth had slowed due to low capital demand from businesses.
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) announced it could adjust monetary policies, including credit growth and incentives, in the remaining months of the year to cope with the COVID-19 pandemic.
