What is the interest rate for a loan of 1 billion VND at Agribank?

According to Lao Dong, Agribank currently applies preferential interest rates for production and business loans, with a starting rate of 6.0%/year.

This interest rate is applied to medium and long-term loans of 12 months or more, and lasts until October 31, 2024. This interest rate is about 1.5% lower than the standard interest rate that Agribank usually applies to production and business loans.

Previously, Agribank also adjusted interest rates many times in 2023 to support people and businesses, reducing them by 1.3-4% compared to the beginning of the year. This policy will continue to be implemented in 2024, targeting priority sectors such as agricultural production, aquaculture, and real estate.

Notably, for short-term production and business loans, the preferential interest rate is currently up to 2.0%/year lower than the floor interest rate for production and business loans corresponding to each term:

Applicable for loans up to 3 months: from 3.0%/year.

Applicable to loans over 3 to 6 months: from 3.5%/year.

Applicable to loans over 6 to 12 months: from 4.0%/year
