Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang has signed a decision to adjust the public debt borrowing plan for 2026, raising the limit for foreign commercial borrowing by enterprises to $10 billion.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang has officially signed and issued Decision No. 2184/QD-TTg on November 11, 2026. This decision amends and supplements certain articles of the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 352/QD-TTg dated February 27, 2026, which approved the public debt borrowing and repayment plan for 2026.
The core content of the new document focuses on adjusting Clause 3, Article 1, regarding the mechanism for foreign commercial borrowing. The new regulations apply to enterprises and credit institutions that borrow and repay funds on their own, without any government guarantee.
Accordingly, the limit for medium- and long-term foreign commercial borrowing for these entities has been increased to a maximum of 10 billion USD per year. Simultaneously, the growth rate of short-term foreign debt outstanding is permitted to reach a maximum of 27% compared to the level at the end of 2025.
This adjustment represents a significant expansion relative to the previous limits established under Decision No. 352/QD-TTg. Previously, the limit for medium- and long-term borrowing was approximately 6,124 million USD per year, while the growth rate for short-term debt outstanding was capped at between 19% and 20%.
Decision No. 2184/QD-TTg takes effect immediately upon its signing on November 11, 2026.
