Mr. Tran Hoai Nam, HDBank’s Vice President, represented HDBank in signing a syndicated loan agreement worth 215 million USD with JICA, FinDev Canada, and SMBC.

The loan consists of three components with three-year and five-year tenors, not only strengthening HDBank’s financial resources but also demonstrating the bank’s commitment to sustainable development goals and international environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.
HDBank will allocate this capital to areas that positively impact the community and the economy, including financing green projects, promoting sustainable agriculture, supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), women-owned businesses, and low-income groups through social housing credit programs.
This is one of the first co-financing deals between FinDev Canada, JICA, and SMBC, and it is also one of the first loans from FinDev Canada to the private sector in Vietnam. This pioneering deal is also one of the largest syndicated loans ever provided by international financial institutions to a joint-stock commercial bank in Vietnam to materialize sustainable development goals.
The partnership with leading partners such as JICA, SMBC, and FinDev Canada clearly demonstrates the international financial community’s confidence in HDBank’s capacity, strategic orientation, and steadfast commitment to sustainable development.
