On September 18, 2024, in Hanoi, Deputy Governor Dao Minh Tu of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) chaired a meeting with the credit institutions to discuss and agree on the urgent implementation of measures to support the people and enterprises affected by Typhoon Yagi (also referred to as Typhoon 3 of 2024).

Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Governor Dao Minh Tu shared that in order to help the people and enterprises overcome the difficulties caused by Typhoon Yagi, on September 9, 2024, the SBV had immediately directed the credit institutions and the foreign bank branches to proactively review, collect and consolidate information about the damage and losses suffered by their borrowers to promptly apply support measures, helping the borrowers to overcome their difficulties.

Those measures include rescheduling of the debt payment, reducing the lending interest rates, providing new loans for production and business recovery in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. Moreover, the entire banking sector had proactively participated in the disaster relief efforts, and had made a donation worth over VND 38.4 billion to help those people affected by the typhoon.
