The Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and BIDV have completed a US$50 million loan programme aimed at supporting rural micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs). The programme, part of JICA’s Private Sector Investment Finance scheme, is co-financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and aims to enhance access to credit for MSMEs, particularly in agriculture. The initiative aligns with several UN Sustainable Development Goals, promoting rural livelihoods and financial inclusion, and underscores the collaboration between international partners and Vietnamese financial institutions.
