“We are pleased to acknowledge those banks that innovated or worked extensively with IFC last year to support the growth of emerging market trade and help more countries and firms integrate into global supply chains," Baker added.

The award, once again, honours Techcombank’s effort and success in efficient implementation of GTFP to finance enterprises in Vietnam, simultaneously, reaffirms prestige, competitiveness and risk management capability of Techcombank – one of leading joint stock commercial banks in Vietnam.
