Outstanding loans of 19 policy credit programs reach nearly 8,000 billion VND

In the first quarter of 2019, policy credit continued to have many positive changes. Local Party committees and authorities at all levels, district-level Board of Directors, and entrusted socio-political organizations have enhanced their roles and responsibilities to lead, direct, inspect, and supervise policy credit activities in the area; credit programs are implemented promptly as soon as capital is available, and disbursement is strictly implemented from the loan evaluation stage to ensure transparency and correct targets.

The results of receiving entrusted capital from local budgets at all levels and from other organizations and individuals to lend to poor households and other policy beneficiaries in accordance with the spirit of the Directives have achieved quite good results. In the first quarter, it increased by nearly 19.8 billion VND, reaching 65.9% of the plan assigned by the Central Government.

Some credit programs with large loan turnover are: Loans for near-poor households 275 billion VND, newly escaped poverty households 115 billion VND, poor households nearly 110 billion VND, production and business households in difficult areas 113 billion VND, clean water and environmental sanitation in rural areas 97 billion VND, student credit loans 19 billion VND, loans to create jobs for workers from the National Employment Fund nearly 10 billion VND,... The total outstanding debt of 19 policy credit programs reached 7,995 billion VND, an increase of 251 billion VND, completing the assigned plan.

At the meeting, the opinions of the members of the Board of Directors also analyzed and clarified the achieved results as well as some limitations. In implementing the assignment of budget allocation targets for entrusted lending through the VBSP system in 2019, 19 district-level People's Committees have made allocations and directed commune-level People's Committees to make allocations. However, up to now, Hung Nguyen district and Cua Lo town have not had a plan to allocate the budget for 2019 (in 2017 and 2018, Hung Nguyen district People's Committee did not make allocations).

The implementation of lending capital to ethnic minority households to plant production forests according to Decree 75 of the Government has not been implemented yet because the Provincial People's Committee does not have counterpart capital and most households that are eligible for loans have a need to borrow but have not been granted a Certificate of Forest Land Use Rights.

In addition, the current demand for loans for social housing programs under Decree No. 100-ND/CP of the Government is very large, but the capital currently provided by the central government is too little compared to the demand (in 2018, the Central Government announced 10 billion VND and in 2019, it was 20 billion VND).

Some delegates also said that overdue debts still arise, and there are cases where people have the conditions to pay their debts but deliberately delay and delay, causing difficulties in debt collection.

Strictly handle those who misuse capital, borrow money, and embezzle.

After listening to the opinions of the delegates, concluding the meeting, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh highly appreciated the achieved results, policy credit continued to make important contributions to help poor households and policy beneficiaries develop the economy, improve their lives, contribute to the implementation of the poverty reduction target, build new rural areas and stabilize security and politics in the locality.
