The World Bank will provide Vietnam with $86.3 million to support the development of a commercial financing market for investing in industrial energy efficiency.
The provision includes a $8.3 million grant used to build private sector capacity to execute energy efficiency projects, the bank said in a statement.
It will also provide technical assistance to the Ministry of Industry and Trade and relevant authorities to strengthen policy frameworks on energy efficiency.
The remaining amount will be used to establish a risk sharing facility to provide credit guarantees to support local banks in providing loans for energy efficiency projects.
