On June 23, 2026, the State Bank of Vietnam, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment in coordination with Lao Dong Newspaper organized the Workshop "Improving the efficiency of green credit capital flows, a driving force for economic growth". The Workshop is within the framework of the "Green Transformation Day 2026" series of events, aiming to create a forum for exchange between management agencies, the banking system, experts, associations and the business community.
Over the past time, green credit in Vietnam has recorded positive changes. Many commercial banks have paid more attention to areas such as renewable energy, green agriculture, cleaner production, energy saving, green buildings, circular economy and environmentally friendly development models.
On the business side, green transformation is also gradually being seen not only as social responsibility, but also as a condition to enhance prestige, expand markets, and participate more deeply in the global supply chain.
In the context of increasingly important environmental, social and governance standards, businesses wanting to access the international market are forced to be more transparent about emissions, energy use, raw materials and production processes.
However, in the process of implementation, green credit still has requirements that need to be further clarified so that capital flows are closer to businesses. Many businesses have a need to invest in technology innovation, improve production processes, and save energy, but still face difficulties in proving projects meet green criteria. Some businesses are also not really proficient in building ESG dossiers, emission data, capital utilization plans and documents proving environmental efficiency.
In the opposite direction, commercial banks are also facing the requirement to improve their capacity to appraise, measure and manage environmental risks in credit activities. Determining what a green project is, what are the criteria for green classification, and what is the capital control mechanism is still issues that need to be further improved.
The workshop is expected to listen to the contributions of experts and organizations to further improve the efficiency of green credit capital flows in Vietnam, towards the goal of sustainable growth.
