HSBC Vietnam: Sustainable finance and digitalization key issues

According to Mr. Tim Evans, General Director of HSBC Vietnam, two important issues post-Covid-19 to ensure that the financial sector maximizes its potential are sustainable finance and digitalization. The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has recently introduced initiatives to support green finance development and digital transformation. It has set a target of 60 per cent of banks having access to green capital and lending to green projects by 2025.
