On March 10, 2016, a syndicate of 18 banks — including the Export-Import Bank of China — signed a $200 million syndicated loan agreement with Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (VietinBank) — a Vietnamese state-owned bank — for on-lending purposes. The borrowing terms of the loan are unknown. However it is known that VietinBank intended to use the foreign currency loan to on-lend to its corporate clients for manufacturing and business activities. The syndicate was led by BNP Paribas and Taipei Fubon Commercial Bank. Commerzbank AG, State Bank of India, BDO Unibank, Chang Hwa Commercial Bank, Taiwan Business Bank, Far Eastern International Bank, and Export-Import Bank of China are also known to have participated.
