Mr Le Quoc Long, Deputy General Director of SeABank, said: "Vietnamese companies usually need more capital for business activities, importation and stockpiling at the end of the year. However, impacts of global and domestic economic crisis poses enormous difficulties in finding consumption markets and seeking capital. With the VND2 trillion credit package and simple procedures, SeABank wishes to help SMEs to cope with cash-short problems at the end of the year to unfreeze capital flows and promote production and business activities".
