What Happened
BIDV General Director Le Ngoc Lam signed the cooperation agreement with VSDC at a ceremony chaired by the Department of Climate Change. The agreement formalizes the coordination framework among state management agencies, market infrastructure operators, and payment institutions for the carbon market.
According to Decree 29/2026/ND-CP, eligible carbon credits and emission allowances will be registered on the National Registration System managed by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, deposited at VSDC, traded on HNX’s trading system, and settled through the Carbon Settlement Network (CSN) at BIDV.

Market Context
BIDV shares closed at VND 41,900 on June 25, 2026, down 0.48% on volume of 2.67 million shares. The stock has been relatively stable as the market awaits clearer revenue streams from the carbon market initiative. As Vietnam’s largest listed bank by assets, BIDV’s involvement in the carbon market infrastructure aligns with its role in financing green projects and the government’s sustainability agenda.
Strategic Significance
BIDV’s role as the settlement bank for carbon transactions positions it as a central infrastructure provider in Vietnam’s emerging carbon market. This could generate fee-based income from transaction processing and settlement services, as well as strengthen BIDV’s franchise in sustainable finance. The carbon market is expected to create new revenue opportunities for banks offering advisory, trading, and financing services related to carbon credits. BIDV’s early involvement may give it a competitive advantage over peers in capturing this growing business line.

- BIDV’s disclosure of fee income from carbon settlement services in upcoming quarterly reports.
