The construction ministry has raised two reasons for the non-disbursement of the credit package of VND120 trillion (US$5.14 billion) launched by the government about two months ago for developing projects to build social houses and houses for workers, and upgrade deteriorated apartment buildings.

Therefore, banks related to this package have not been able to provide loans sourced from this package to investors and buyers in such projects, the ministry said.

Earlier, at a recent conference on building one … [Read more...] about Construction ministry explains why $5.14bn credit package yet to be disbursed
