The director of the National Fund for Social Aid, Louay Al-Aranji, told SANA reporter that the annex to the agreement of the National Fund for Social Aid with the People’s Credit Bank includes adjusting the annual interest rates so that the annual interest rate on loans granted became 11.5 percent for short-term loans with a one-year repayment period, and 12 percent for medium-term loans that were granted. The repayment period is 5 years, while the annual interest rate with the National Bank for Microfinance and the Ebdaa Bank for Microfinance has become 16 percent after the amendment.

Regarding the financial and administrative agreement with the Cooperative Agricultural Bank, Al-Aranji indicated that work is underway to amend it so that the annual interest rate on loans granted in accordance with the agreement becomes 14 percent for short-term loans with a one-year repayment period and 15 percent for medium-term loans, whose repayment period ranges from 3 to 4 years, pointing out He indicated that the Fund bears an interest rate of 6 percent as a form of social support within the lending programs supported by previous agreements, and the rest of the interest rate is borne by the borrower.
