Mr. Vu Khac Toan, President of Phu Hoa Credit Fund, informed that the loans balance has reached 20% with unlimited loans and non-business borrowings. He affirmed the advantage of ceiling deposit interest rate which is allowed to be higher than banks; however, prestige is the key to success by exceeding 30% of the year plan. Good news is lying ahead, he said.

 

“Loans activities in eleven months have increased in amount; however, complex interest rate hike has resulted in difficulties in credit activities. But we are not blindfolded by the profits and forget the mutual supports. As the matter of fact, from October, at the time of lowing interest rate, we instantly reduced loans interest rate to 19% a year to share up with members and to attract more borrowers,” said Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thuy Nga, Director of An Thanh Credit Fund
