The issuance will be on September 16, and investors can register to buy at Vietbank's transaction points between July 25 and September 15.
The proceeds will be used to increase tier-2 capital to meet the State Bank of Vietnam’s capital adequacy ratio requirements and supplement medium- and long-term loan funds.
