Eximbank to strengthen corporate governance structure
At the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on October 14 Vietnam Export Import Commercial Joint Stock Bank Eximbank secured shareholder approval for measures to strengthen the composition of its Board of Directors continuing its corporate governance roadmap under the 2026–2030 Development Strategy
Eximbank is enhancing its corporate governance structure with a focus on international best practices. During its Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders in July 2026, shareholders approved amendments to the bank’s foreign ownership provisions. This includes removing the previous 6 per cent cap on foreign ownership and applying the maximum limit permitted under Vietnamese law.
The amendments aim to attract international investors with financial strength, corporate governance experience, and a long-term investment outlook. Eximbank also approved the election of an additional director for its board’s eighth term (2025–2030), increasing its membership from six to seven directors. The new member, Pham Thi Huyen Trang, CEO of Eximbank, was recommended by the State Bank of Vietnam and meets criteria set out in the bank’s corporate governance framework.
The bank's chairman, Nguyen Le Quoc Anh, emphasized that strengthening the corporate governance model is crucial for Eximbank to meet international standards and achieve sustainable economic development in Vietnam.
