Project Description
The proposed IFC investment is a subscription of up to US$200 million in a five-year sustainability bond to be privately issued by Vietnam Prosperity Joint-Stock Commercial Bank (VPBank or the Bank).

The Project is expected to catalyze the sustainable financing activities of commercial banks in Viet Nam and help create market standards for sustainable bonds issued by commercial banks.
