With a stimulus package of 8 trillion VND (381 million USD), the city has approved interest-free loans of up to 100 billion VND (4.7 million USD) over a seven-year period.
Representatives of more than 100 companies in the HCM City Enterprises Association attended a conference held Sept. 16 in HCM City to learn about the policy.
Priority will be given to projects related to medicine, education, culture, production and environment.
The city has promoted the use of high technology at hospitals, educational facilities, vocational training schools, theatres, cinema, waste treatment systems, forest plantations and others.
Other projects such as trade investment in Laos and Cambodia, automobile production, food production and others will receive a 50 percent interest rate subsidy.
Pham Linh, deputy general director of Orient Commercial Joint-Stock Bank, said during the conference that he supported companies and will try to help overcome their difficulties.
"I believe the support will contribute to stabilising the economy in the city and the country as well," he added./.
