In attendance at the ceremony, representing the two parties to officially execute the MOU, were Mr. Le Ngoc Lam, CEO of BIDV, and Mr. Kenneth Gaw, Managing Principal and President of Gaw Capital Partners, in the presence of senior leadership representatives from both sides.
Building on an established foundation of cooperation and strong growth prospects, the two parties agreed to further enhance their partnership in a more comprehensive and sustainable direction. BIDV will act as a strategic financial partner, providing a full range of banking solutions and supporting Gaw Capital Partners throughout the implementation and development of its investment projects in Vietnam. The two parties also agreed to step up cooperation in key sectors, including strategic infrastructure, modern logistics, green real estate aligned with international standards, and signature projects not only within the International Financial Centre of Ho Chi Minh City but also in key economic regions across the country. These sectors are expected to serve as new growth drivers, supporting economic restructuring and enhancing the competitiveness of Vietnam.
At the same time, both parties will enhance cooperation through market information sharing, joint research, and the effective development of potential investment opportunities. The signing of the MOU not only strengthens the cooperation between BIDV and Gaw Capital Partners but also opens up opportunities to connect BIDV with the international business community. Through this cooperation, both parties aim to attract high-quality capital flows, support the development of large-scale projects, and contribute to sustainable growth.
