The State Bank of Vietnam published an account of Governor Pham Duc An's meeting with Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank President Zou Jiayi, in which the central bank set out priorities for broader medium and long term financing cooperation in Vietnam. The discussion focused on mobilising long term funding for strategic infrastructure, green growth and energy transition projects, with transport, especially rail, energy and digital infrastructure, alongside sustainable urban development and climate adaptation, identified as priority areas. The Governor called for closer coordination to build a medium and long term cooperation pipeline in sectors where the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank has expertise, and encouraged the bank to increase funding for Vietnam's private sector, particularly financing without government guarantees for green, renewable energy and strategic infrastructure projects. AIIB said the visit was part of a listening tour to understand Vietnam's development priorities, and the two sides discussed potential large transport projects, the energy transition and green growth, mobilisation of private capital, and AIIB's climate-related financial instruments.
