Implement Resolution No. 33/NQ-CP dated March 11, 2023 of the Government and propose solutions to remove difficulties and obstacles for investors and buyers of social housing with interest rates about 1.5 - 2% lower than the average medium and long-term interest rates of state-owned commercial banks in the market.
Currently, the State Bank is seeking opinions from relevant ministries and branches on the documents and draft resolution to adjust some contents of the 120,000 billion package and Resolution 33/NQ-CP in the direction of reducing lending interest rates for customers by 3-5%, and for customers who are investors, the reduction will remain at 1-2%.

At the regular Government meeting this morning (August 5), the Prime Minister agreed with the content of the proposal of the State Bank, requesting the early completion of the submission for approval of the Resolution adjusting the content of the preferential loan package program of 120,000 billion VND.
Shorten administrative procedures for building social housing
The Deputy Minister of Construction also outlined a number of tasks and solutions to be implemented in the near future, such as organizing a national conference to urge the development of social housing in August 2024; requesting the State Bank to direct and encourage commercial banks to participate in lending support capital and loosening credit room, creating conditions to increase terms and reduce support interest rates, etc.
Localities direct inspection of investment in social housing construction to ensure quality, adequate technical infrastructure, social infrastructure, essential services, etc. Based on specific conditions, each locality has specific mechanisms and solutions to shorten administrative procedures, establish project approval, allocate land, lease land, clear land, support and encourage businesses to implement projects, create supply for the market and take advantage of preferential sources to develop social housing.
For big cities, especially Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, it is necessary to enhance responsibility in leadership, direction, attraction and acceleration of social housing development, ensuring the assigned project goals.
