Low-income families can receive microcredits at 4% per annum
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- The Government of Uzbekistan approved a regulation “On procedure for allocation of microcredits by commercial banks to provide employment for low-income families”.

In accordance with the provision, commercial banks will provide preferential microcredits to low-income families, who intend to engage in certain types of labor, ensuring the self-sufficiency of their families.

According to the document, banks can provide microcredits to low-income families in the amount of up to 100 sizes of minimum wage at interest rate of 4 percent per annum.

Microcredits are allocated for up to three years without the right to extend the repayment term with a six-month grace period.

Borrowers can purchase sewing machines, fabrics and consumables, inventory for handicraft activities, household, computer and other equipment due to microcredit.
