Under a comprehensive cooperation agreement between IIB and the Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV), IIB will provide BIDV with a 50 million EUR credit in the medium and long term for project and trade assistance.

The two sides also committed to cooperating in savings and foreign exchange transactions.

The IIB also became a partner of the Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank (HDBank) in many fields of business activities. It is a favourable condition for the two sides to strengthen information exchange and propose cooperation opportunities.

They pledged to organise more joint conferences, seminars and meetings to seek partners and discuss consumers’ demand of banking services.

On March 1, representatives of IIB and the Agricultural Bank of Vietnam (Agribank) signed an agreement, under which the two sides will exchange views on cooperative possibilities in the coming time and facilitate joint projects between the two banks.
