Over the past 11 months, more than 65,700 households have received policy loans totaling over VND 3.7 trillion. The programs with the highest number of disbursements included loans for job creation, with 24,400 cases; loans for rural clean water and sanitation, with nearly 21,000 households; and loans for students, with 12,300 disbursements. As a result, the entire Dong Nai branch of the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies is currently managing 212,500 active loans, totaling over VND 12 trillion.

Le Ba Chuyen, Director of the Dong Nai branch of the Vietnam Bank for Social Policies, said that in December 2025, the branch will focus on several key tasks. These include coordinating with relevant units to advise Party committees and local authorities on the practical implementation of policy credit programs; ensuring the achievement of planned targets for loan growth and capital mobilization from organizations and individuals; and carefully reviewing applicants and their needs to ensure timely disbursement especially for poor and near-poor households, households recently lifted out of poverty, students, social housing beneficiaries, and individuals who have completed prison sentences with the goal of meeting and exceeding the 2025 targets.

The branch is committed to ensuring security and asset safety at commune-level transaction points during both transport and operations. It is also reorganizing and adjusting the management areas of certain transaction offices as needed. Remote inspection and supervision efforts are being strengthened, with a proactive approach to data analysis that enables the prompt detection, correction, and addressing of shortcomings and errors. Additionally, the branch is emphasizing political and ideological education for staff, while promoting awareness of professional ethics and cultivating a strong cultural foundation.
