HCMC – An international conference took place in Xuan Huong – Da Lat Ward, Lam Dong Province, on September 5 to discuss access to global green capital and ways to promote sustainable and inclusive finance in Vietnam.
The event, titled “Unlocking Global Green Financing to Drive Sustainable Development and Financial Inclusion in Vietnam”, brought together government officials, international investors, development finance institutions, financial organizations, and business representatives.
Tran Khai Hoan, Acting CEO of Nam A Bank, said the conference aims not only to share international expertise but also to connect and mobilize green and inclusive finance for Vietnam’s sustainable development.
The conference featured three sessions focusing on international green finance, sustainable development, and private sector access to green capital. Speakers included representatives from the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Asian Development Bank (ADB), BlueOrchard, responsAbility, IDG, GGGI, FiinRatings, KPMG, and EY.
The conference provided a platform for knowledge exchange and investment opportunities, and helped connect Vietnamese companies with global financial institutions. It was organized at Tea Resort Prenn in Xuan Huong – Da Lat Ward, Lam Dong Province, a venue certified as a green building.
Nam A Bank, the organizer of the event, said it is committed to becoming a model of sustainable banking in Vietnam’s private sector. The bank applies international governance standards such as IFRS, Basel III, and ESMS, and pledged to support the government and international partners in advancing sustainable growth and financial inclusion.
Globally, green and inclusive finance has become a driver of sustainable development, strongly supported by governments and international institutions. This is reflected in the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Inclusive finance is creating opportunities for all sectors of the economy, especially the private sector, to access capital and improve competitiveness.
Vietnam has pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. The World Bank estimates the country will need to mobilize about 6.8% of its GDP annually, or US$368 billion, to meet that goal.
