'We are pleased to work with SHB to increase support to companies, including small- and medium-sized businesses. More support for trade means more economic growth and more job creation,' said Eric Sidgwick, ADB Country Director for Vietnam.

SHB became a partner bank in ADB's TFP in early 2016. In less than 12 months, TFP has supported a total of 25 SHB transactions worth over US$160 million. The revolving credit facility is TFP's second agreement with SHB.

SHB is one of the largest commercial banks in Vietnam with total assets of more than VND215 trillion, about 7,000 employees, and an extensive network of nearly 500 outlets in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. SHB serves nearly 4 million inpidual customers and businesses.

“Participating in TFP under RCA helps persify our trade finance products and services. We strongly believe that the partnership with ADB in this programme will lead to more future opportunities of cooperation between the two institutions,” said SHB CEO Nguyen Van Le.

The TFP has been operating in Vietnam since 2009 and currently works with 11 local partner banks. To date, the programme has conducted 5,262 transactions, supporting US$7.8 billion in trade in Vietnam - mostly for small- and medium-sized enterprises.
