Collection xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 judgments on accepting loan interest rates above 20%/year in Vietnam

It is known that lending interest rates exceeding 20%/year is not legal, but I see some financial companies and banks still lend with high interest rates xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 40%-50%/year. So are those interest rates legal? “Thuy Minh-Bac Ninh, Vietnam”

Hello, Lawnet would like to answer your questions as follows:

According to the provisions xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 Article 468 xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 Vietnam'strực tiếp bóng đástipulates:

- The rate xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 interest for a loan shall be as agreed by the parties.

The rate xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 interest for a loan agreed by the parties may not exceed 20% per year, unless otherwise prescribed by law.

Thus, in the property lending relationship, the interest rate will be agreed upon by the parties but must not exceed 20% per year xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 the loan amount. However, also according to the above provisions, if "other relevant laws stipulate otherwise," the lending interest rate will comply with that provision.

Article 4 xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 theLuật Các tổ chức tín lịch trực tiếp bóng đá hômstipulates: Non-bank credit institutions include finance companies, financial leasing companies and other non-bank credit institutions.

Therefore, financial companies are not only governed by the Civil Code 2015 but also by the Law on Credit Institutions and related documents.

In Article 9 xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2Thông tư 43/2016/TT-NHNNstipulates:

- Consumer loan interest rate fixed by a finance company shall conform to regulations xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 the State Bank on lending transactions xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 credit institutions and/or foreign bank branches with customers.

- Finance companies shall adopt regulations on the range xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 consumer loan interest rates to be used consistently in its entire network in specific periods xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 time, including the maximum and minimum interest rates applied to each consumer credit line.

Because the law does not specify the ceiling interest rate and the maximum interest rate xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 financial companies. Therefore, the maximum interest rate for consumption purposes at the financial company will be adjusted by the financial company and must be approved by the State Bank.

Also in,Thông tư 39/2016/TT-NHNNstipulates:

- A credit institution and its customer shall agree on the interest rate depending on capital demands and supplies on the market, loan demands and creditworthiness xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 customers, unless otherwise stipulated by the State Bank's regulations on the maximum interest rate set forth in Clause 2 xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 this Article.

- A credit institution and customer shall agree on the interest rate on short-term loan denominated in Vietnamese dong but shall not allow it to exceed the maximum interest rate decided by the State Bank’s Governor over periods xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 time in order to meet certain demands for borrowed fund as follows:

+ Loans taken out to support the agricultural and rural development sector under regulations xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 the Government on credit policies for agricultural and urban development;

+ Loans taken out to implement the export business plan in accordance with theLuật trực tiếp bóngand other instructional directives thereof;

+ Loans taken out to finance business activities xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 small and medium-sized enterprises under the Government’s regulations on support for development xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 small and medium-sized enterprises;

+ Loans taken out to develop ancillary industries under the Government’s regulations on development xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 ancillary industries;

+ Loans taken out to finance business operations xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 high technology application enterprises under the provisions xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 theLuật trực tiếp bóng đáand other instructional directives thereof.

Thus, the lending interest rate will be agreed upon by the parties, and the financial company will be able to set its own lending interest rate. Above all, when self-determining interest rates, financial companies must also obtain approval from the State Bank. Therefore, it is not illegal for financial companies to lend at interest rates higher than 20% according to the provisions xem bóng đá trực tiếp vtv2 the Civil Code and cannot be sanctioned.
