The Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank) yesterday represented a consortium of five commercial banks signing an agreement to lend US$120m to the Chinfon Cement Plant.
Under the agreement, Vietcombank will give the cement plant a loan worth US$60m, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of Vietnam (Incombank) US$24m, while the Asia Commercial Bank (ACB), the Southeast Asia Joint Stock Bank (SEAbank) and the Bank of Bangkok’s Hanoi Branch each will provide US$12m.
