Ms. Nguyen Thi Huong Thanh (HCMC) stated that she signed a contract to borrow a financial institution mortgage to purchase land. Nevertheless, because of the impression of the Covid-19 epidemic, her household had issue paying curiosity on the mortgage. Ms. Thanh requested the authorities to think about supporting insurance policies for instances like hers to quickly cease paying curiosity funds.
Responding to Ms. Thanh’s query, the State Financial institution stated that the shopper was assessed by a credit score establishment to satisfy the next circumstances: Incapacity to repay the mortgage principal and/or curiosity on time in accordance with the contract issued by the enterprise. income and revenue decreased because of the impression of the Covid-19 epidemic; have the ability to absolutely repay the principal and/or curiosity in accordance with the restructured reimbursement time period; Loans or finance leases that incur debt obligations, repay principals and pursuits inside a specified time (money owed incurred earlier than June 10, 2021, ..) prescribed reimbursement interval.

In truth, many individuals who borrow from banks to spend money on actual property, purchase homes, purchase land with the intention of promoting them again to earn curiosity are in a tough scenario when the month-to-month cost to the financial institution will not be small. whereas revenue is lowered, even frozen due to the epidemic. Shopping for and promoting actual property at the moment can also be very tough as a result of many localities implement social distancing, unable to satisfy and negotiate.
Within the latest land fever, many particular person buyers have “risked” a financial institution mortgage to purchase land with a view to surf and earn curiosity. Nevertheless, the market fluctuated a lot that they could not deal with it, and earlier than they may promote it, they needed to tackle extra debt.
Final yr, Ms. T and her husband (Binh Duong) collected greater than 500 million and borrowed one other 500 million from family to purchase a bit of land. After a number of months, Ms. T returned to this home and made a revenue of 270 million dong. Seeing that getting cash is just too straightforward, at the start of this yr, she continued to gather and use the pink guide to borrow a financial institution mortgage to proceed browsing the land, and this time “play huge” to spend money on a land plot of greater than Three billion dong. Nevertheless, this time was not as fortunate as earlier than, because of the impression of the Covid-19 epidemic, the market went down, inflicting the worth of the land to lower. Ms. T actively bought to chop losses however couldn’t, whereas she needed to pay greater than 20 million dong in curiosity to the financial institution each month.
Debtors to purchase homes to dwell in are additionally in a tough scenario.

Particularly, the financial institution will lengthen the mortgage to clients for a time period, for instance, 3-Four months. After that grace interval, the shopper must pay one lump sum, including up all these months. Thus, the quantity to be paid to the financial institution after the restructuring interval could be very massive, whereas revenue won’t be able to get better shortly in such a short while. Bored with money owed, many buyers need bought out to get better capital, however the secondary buying and selling market has been fairly gloomy currently, forcing costs to the purpose of incurring losses.

Nevertheless, in accordance with many consultants, asking for an rate of interest discount of as much as 2% per yr for actual property loans is rather a lot, and it’s tough to be agreed by banks.
