Banks face difficulties in granting green credit

The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has reported that average growth in green credit in the 2017-2021 period was more than 25 per cent each year. As of June 30, outstanding loans for green projects stood at more than VND474 trillion ($19 billion), up 7.08 per cent year-on-year but accounting for only 4.1 per cent the total in the economy. At the “Green credit, green banking towards sustainable development in Vietnam” workshop held by the SBV in cooperation with relevant units on October 27, a central bank representative pointed out many obstacles in granting green credit, such as a lack of medium and long-term capital and high market risks.
