The International Finance Corporation (IFC) announced it will provide a financing package of USD 150 million (EUR 140.3 million) to Vietnam’s Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SeABank).
The package, designed to stimulate a viable blue finance market, promote green bonds, and support smaller businesses in Vietnam, serves as the country’s first blue bond and green bond issued by a private commercial bank. It includes a USD 25 million (EUR 23.4 million) subscription in blue bonds, enabling SeABank to expand its funding for sustainable economic activities related to aquaculture, fisheries, and water supply.
