Vietinbank bond sale wins regulatory approval

VietinBank's planned $500 million international bond sale has been approved by Vietnam's central bank.

It is now seeking approval for the sale from the finance ministry, according to the bank's deputy general director Le Duc Tho, who added that while they plan to sell the bonds in the fourth quarter, they have to be flexible.

“We will choose the most suitable and most favourable timing for the bond sale, based on market conditions,” he said.

The sale would be first of dollar-denominated notes for the bank and the third sale of US dollar bonds by a Vietnamese corporate borrower this year.

“Given the timing, I am not sure if VietinBank can make it in the fourth quarter,” said Nguyen Tan Thang, head of fixed- income research at HCM City Securities Corp.

“It’s also not a good time to sell bonds in the international market because they may get a very expensive yield,” he said.

What is Lorem Ipsum?

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
