Resolution No.68-NQ/TW on private sector development sets out a policy framework for interest rate support for green investments. Following guidance from the Politburo, State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) is working with the Ministry of Finance to submit to the government a decree providing a 2-percent annual interest rate subsidy from the state budget for private enterprises and household businesses borrowing from banks to implement green and circular economy projects.
According to Ms.Pham Thi Thanh Tung, deputy head of the Credit Department for Economic Sectors at the central bank, the draft decree is expected to be submitted to the government for approval as early as this week and could be implemented from early 2026. She added that the subsidy funds would be allocated to local authorities.
As of November 30, 2025, outstanding green credit stood at around VND750 trillion ($28.4 billion), with average annual growth of more than 21 percent over the 2017-25 period, outpacing overall credit growth in the economy.
At a conference on diversifying funding sources for sustainable development, organized by Tai Chinh-Dau Tu (Finance-Investment) newspaper on Monday, 15 Dec2025, Nguyen Ngoc Canh, deputy governor of the SBV, said the country’s long-term investment needs for green and sustainable economic development could reach US$600-700 billion by 2050.
