Total capital mobilization cost offset by subsidy is calculated adopting the following formula:
Total capital mobilization cost offset by subsidy
=
Mobilized funding offset by subsidy
-
Interest-free funding
x
Average mobilized capital interest rate
Where:
- Mobilized funding offset by subsidy means VDB’s funding used for granting loans to subsidized projects and subsidized budget reserve:

+ Amounts of charter capital actually contributed by Vietnam Infrastructure Development and Finance Investment Joint Stock Company (VIDIFI) and other organizations (if any) as prescribed by law.
