Prime Minister pushes SBV to achieve robust growth target

The message was communicated to the SBV on Tuesday in Ha Noi by a working group led by Government Office Chairman Mai Tien Dung, to push the central bank to help achieve the 6.7 per cent economic growth targeted for this year. Besides meeting the credit growth target of 18 per cent in 2017, the PM has required the SBV to better direct loans flowing into production, business and infrastructure to support enterprises. He also urged the SBV to encourge commercial banks to lower interest rates by 0.5 to 1%.
