The to-be-issued 2,200 bonds would mark the bank’s second issuance round this year.
The bonds will mature in 10 years with face value of VND1 billion per bond, the bank said in a statement on Monday.

ACB is listing more than 1.12 billion shares, 90 per cent of its total outstanding shares, on the Ha Noi Stock Exchange with code ACB.
ACB shares lost 2.6 per cent on Monday to close at VND29,600 per share. — VNS
