Last week, the International Conference SIBE 2025 took place at the British University Vietnam (BUV), attracting significant attention from experts, lecturers, researchers and students from leading educational institutions. Joined as a keynote speaker and a visiting professor of BUV, Mr. Hieu Nguyen, CEO of FiinGroup, shared his perspectives on the benefits of green finance and practical recommendations for Vietnamese enterprises. 

Sustainable finance has become a global trend, driving a growing demand for ESG evaluations from global investors and business partners when working with Vietnamese corporates. 

🌱 In Vietnam, recent legal frameworks clearly reflect the Government’s commitment to sustainable development. According to FiinRatings, Vietnam’s green finance is gaining strong momentum: by September 2024, green loans had surpassed 680,000 billion VND. 

Mr. Hieu emphasized that, compared to the costs, the benefits of green finance are significant: 
✅ Reduced capital costs with fair pricing and typically fixed interest rates 
✅ Longer tenors (5–20 years), suitable for long-term infrastructure investment  
✅ Raised investors’ confidence and attract more domestic and international institutional investors 
✅ Compliance with international standards (ICMA, CBI), ensuring transparency and mitigating greenwashing risks 
✅ Promotion of green transition and sustainable growth 
 
Mr. Hieu also highlighted that to unlock the advantages of green finance and access long-term capital, businesses should select the right financial instruments and prioritize independent assessments to ensure transparency, international compliance, and risk control.
