Vietnam International Financial Centre
The legal framework is in place and the two Operating Authorities are now operating. IBBC Capital helps institutions understand the framework and prepares the projects that member banks, funds and asset managers can finance.
IBBC Capital is not a VIFC authority, member or agent and does not act on the centre’s behalf. Legal conclusions on eligibility come from qualified counsel.
