A VND2 trillion (US$88.1 million) preferential credit package has been designed to provide short- , medium- and long-term loan to newly established companies while micro enterprises will benefit from an VND1 trillion (US$44 million) programme that provides short-term loans.

Those programmes offer beneficiary businesses annual interest rates 1-1.5% a year lower than normal ones.

Besides those two programmes, BIDV also launched preferential loans for small- and medium-sized enterprises.
