On September 6, Mr. Mai Hung Dung - Permanent Vice Chairman of Binh Duong Provincial People's Committee and leaders of Vietnam Development Bank (VDB) witnessed the signing of a cooperation agreement on financing State investment credit capital for environmental protection projects.

Accordingly, there will be about 10,000 billion VND of State investment credit capital provided by the Vietnam Development Bank (VDB) - Transaction Office II with preferential interest rates for environmental protection projects invested by Binh Duong Water and Environment Corporation (BIWASE). For companies and related parties of BIWASE, the loan limit shall not exceed 16,000 billion VND.

This is considered a source of "green credit" for businesses to continue implementing projects related to environmental protection, including projects to develop clean water for people and workers.

There are also other projects using loan capital such as 4 wastewater treatment plants with a capacity of 90,000 m3/day and night, a 5 MW waste-to-energy plant, an organic fertilizer production line from waste with a capacity of 840 tons/day...
