We value MUFG's leadership in sustainable finance in Vietnam, and look forward to developing a long-term and prosperous partnership."

Mr. Takao Nozaki, MUFG Bank's Managing Director, Regional Head of Vietnam stated: "We are delighted to support the sustainable development of VinFast and its emergence as a pioneering force in the electric vehicle industry. With our strong expertise and track record in sustainable financing and experience in renewables and clean energy sectors, we are well-positioned to empower VinFast's electric vehicle development efforts and international expansion strategy.

Together, the parties aim to explore the potential of the rapidly growing electric vehicle industry while creating positive values for the community.

The facility agreement between VinFast and MUFG Bank comes at a time when MUFG is playing a prominent role in promoting Vietnam's sustainable development.

Eight years since its establishment, VinFast has emerged as one of the few pure-electric vehicle companies globally with a diverse product portfolio and a successfully listing on NASDAQ. In 2024, the Company secured the number one position in the domestic automotive market, established presence in key markets such as North America and Europe, and is steadily expanding into promising markets such as India, Indonesia, and the Philippines, leveraging the strength of Vingroup's comprehensive green ecosystem built around VinFast vehicles.
