Kwakwa said that the WB is considering additional commercial loans to Vietnam worth up to $3-3.5 billion within the next three years after it received positive assessments of the efficiency of WB-funded projects in the country.

She asked the Vietnamese government to work closely with the WB to come up with appropriate projects to utilize this capital. She also urged Vietnam to speed up the planned disbursement of the WB loan.

Dung said the government will step up coordination with the WB to draw up projects for the funding, focusing on transport infrastructure, energy, human resources development and healthcare services.
