At the monitoring session, delegates gave their opinions on a number of issues such as: Chu Se District needs to clarify more about the groups of subjects needing loan support, detailed information on the loan program, loan subjects; priority loans for the poor, groups borrowing from the clean water, sanitation and environment program; labor export subjects supported with loans; how many women members are supported with loans, and what solutions will be implemented for these subjects in the coming time...
Working with the monitoring delegation, the People's Committee of Chu Se district proposed and recommended: According to Decision No. 861/QD-TTg dated June 4, 2021 of the Prime Minister, Chu Se has 2 communes in regions II and III, reducing 12 communes in regions II and III, the subjects in these 12 communes will no longer be entitled to credit policies in difficult areas, so people will have difficulty in borrowing capital and repaying bank loans when due. In addition, the demand for loans to support job creation, maintaining and expanding employment is very large, while the central government's capital for this credit program is still limited, not meeting the people's borrowing needs.
In addition, implementing Decision No. 05/QD-TTg dated January 4, 2023 of the Prime Minister on approving the Strategy for Development of the Social Policy Bank to 2030, in which, each year, the local budget entrusts capital sources for lending to the poor and other policy subjects, accounting for about 15-20% of the total credit balance growth of the Social Policy Bank (in 2022, the credit balance growth rate of the district Social Policy Bank is 12.56%, equivalent to VND 42,133 billion; it is expected that in 2023, the credit balance growth will be 10% or more, equivalent to nearly VND 40 billion).
