Deutsche Bank has today announced a capital allocation increase for its Ho Chi Minh City branch of USD 100 million, bringing the total to just over USD 200 million. The increased capital will support the bank’s growth in the country and allow it to undertake more activity for its clients.
Deutsche Bank has a long and proud 30-year history in Vietnam, a key growth driver for the ASEAN region, after launching its presence in the country in 1992. The business in Vietnam continues to play an increasingly important role in the success of the bank’s Asia Pacific franchise, having doubled its revenues over the past two years.
