Singapore’s United Overseas Bank (UOB) will provide a 40 million USD
credit to fund the construction of the Nhon Trach 2 power plant.
A contract on the credit was signed in Ho Chi Minh City on July 29

cost 600 million USD, the plant is scheduled for completion in December

especially to its infrastructure and energy.

committed to providing capital for projects in the country, including
