Vietnam Secures $9.3 B World Bank Loan Pipeline for 2026‑2030 Projects
Vietnam's Ministry of Finance, led by Minister Ngo Van Tuan, met with World Bank Country Director Mariam J. Sherman on July 28 in Hanoi to finalise a five‑year lending program. A World Bank letter dated July 1 outlines a preliminary pipeline of roughly 24 projects worth about $9.3 billion for 2026‑2030. The projects focus on transport, energy, climate‑resilient infrastructure and development‑policy financing. Several loans have completed negotiations and are slated for signing in August‑September 2026, while nine additional projects have received borrowing‑proposal approval and are advancing through feasibility studies. Most loans are expected to be implemented within three years, marking a notable rise in both volume and implementation speed compared with previous years.
