The meeting followed Ngo’s appointment as the first Vietnamese national to lead Citi’s operations in Vietnam.
Discussions focused on Vietnam’s economic development and its integration into the global economy. The bank’s representatives shared its experience in capital market development and cross-border financing and discussed areas including foreign direct investment, trade and investment connectivity, infrastructure and project finance, green finance, digital innovation, and sectors such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and digital infrastructure.
“Vietnam is entering an exciting new phase of economic development and global integration,” Ngo said. “Citi is proud to leverage our global network, international expertise, and more than three decades of presence in the country to support Vietnam’s ambitions to attract international investment and achieve sustainable economic growth.”
The bank has operated in Vietnam for more than 30 years, providing corporate and investment banking, markets, treasury and trade solutions, and securities services to multinational corporations, financial institutions, and domestic companies.
