On 4 May 2025, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW, signed by General Secretary Tô Lâm, opening a new chapter in the strategy to develop the private economy in a sustainable, green and internationally integrated direction.
A breakthrough highlight is the commitment to strongly support businesses that apply ESG (Environmental – Social – Governance) standards, to promote lending to green and circular projects, and to roll out green credit at preferential interest rates.
📌 Policy thinking has shifted – businesses must act!
Resolution 68-NQ/TW is not merely a direction – it is a commitment to implement specific policies:
- Lower interest rates for businesses implementing green, circular and ESG projects.
- Supporting businesses with unsecured loans based on cash flow, data and ESG credibility.
- Encouraging the establishment of green start-up support funds and credit guarantees for small and medium-sized enterprises, especially those pursuing sustainable development.
- Strengthening the connection of financial, tax and banking data for comprehensive credit-worthiness assessment.
This is the “golden” moment for Vietnamese businesses to build ESG capability, both to access incentives and to raise their competitiveness on the global stage.
