According to the initial plan, the loan was announced with a fundraising target of $300 million, which was later expanded to $500 million due to the “Upsizing Option” clause. The significant interest from international investors led to a total subscription value exceeding 200% of the original fundraising goal. This remarkable outcome underscores the confidence of global financial institutions in MB and the bank’s commitment to sustainable development.

MB’s syndicated loan attracted 22 leading financial institutions from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, with a majority being first-time lenders to MB. This diverse participation not only reflects the market’s strong trust in MB but also enhances the bank’s international network. Given the overwhelming subscription, MB reallocated the commitment limits among the lenders.

The proceeds from this loan will be allocated to eligible projects under MB’s Green Loan Principles and Green Loan Framework, further driving the bank’s sustainable development agenda and supporting Vietnam’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

Listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange, MB holds credit ratings of Ba3/BB by Moody’s and Fitch. In 2025, MB continued its strong financial performance, achieving record profits and maintaining a high capital adequacy ratio. The bank’s total assets surpassed VND 1,300 trillion, driven by healthy credit growth and robust risk management. MB has also strengthened its digital capabilities, expanded its customer base to over 35 million, and recorded significant transaction volumes on its digital platforms. MB remains a top performer among Vietnam’s leading banks.

The syndicated loan was arranged by Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited (Singapore Branch), Mashreqbank psc, Maybank Securities Pte. Ltd., Oversea-Chinese Banking Corporation Limited, and Standard Chartered Bank (Singapore) Limited as Mandated Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners. ANZ (Singapore Branch) acted as the Facility Coordinator, and Standard Chartered Bank (Hong Kong) Limited served as the Facility Agent.
