The bank remains steadfast in its support of alleviating capital-related constraints to deliver efficient and secure financial solutions."

This collaboration is a timely and positive response from the bank, aiming to alleviate those difficulties. The credit package from LPBank will unlock the capital bottleneck for enterprises within Hung Thinh Corporation and the hundreds of contractors engaged in ongoing projects.”
