Citibank announced on July 12 that it had signed a memorandum of

partnership in areas of funds raising, international banking, treasury
services, cash management and training.
The partnership will provide VDB access to Citibank's international funding and capital-market channels, its global technology and innovation platform, and its broad spectrum of products and services.
One of the projects being worked on is an agency backed, long-term finance facility to support the Hanoi-Hai Phong expressway project.
Gary Chan, managing director and head of Global Banking for Vietnam said: "The Vietnam Development Bank, the Government's development arm, plays an instrumental role in the economic development of the nation.
"A fully-fledged partnership between Citibank and VDB will immediately create a number of opportunities for both partners."
In 1993, Citibank was the first US financial institution to receive a branch licence in Vietnam. It has since built a strong presence as the leading foreign bank.
It continues to be the bank of choice for many multinational companies that have investments in Vietnam.
The most recent example was the highly successful 1 billion USD sovereign bond for the Government of Vietnam./.
