CONSISTENCY OF BUSINESS PLAN WITH COUNTRY PARTNERSHIP STRATEGY
1.
The country operations business plan (COBP), 2021–2023 for Viet Nam of the Asian
Development Bank (ADB) is prepared in the context of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19)
pandemic. Although the number of COVID-19 cases has remained low
1in comparison with other
countries in the region, Viet Nam’s economic growth has suffered a set back.
2ADB’s COBP,
2021–2023 remains consistent with the priorities of ADB’s country partnership strategy (CPS),
2016–2020.
3The COBP takes into consideration the likely emerging priorities of the upcoming
Socioeconomic Development Plan, 2021–2025 and ADB’s CPS, 2021–2025, for which the
preparation has just started. The emerging priorities include (i) remaining poverty and inequality,
(ii) infrastructure deficits and public service delivery, (iii) institutional and structural weaknesses,
(iv) vulnerability to natural disasters and climate change, and (v) regional cooperation and
integration.
4The COBP also takes into account (i) ADB’s Strategy 2030
5and (ii) the government’s
updated priorities for official development assistance (ODA) in 2021–2025. Areas of assistance
and the resource allocation for each sector are in Appendix 1. As of 31 December 2019, the active
Viet Nam sovereign lending portfolio comprised 64 loans, totaling $6,705 million.
6II.
INDICATIVE RESOURCE PARAMETERS
2.
Viet Nam, a group C developing member country, is eligible for regular ordinary capital
resources lending. The indicative resources available for commitment during 2021–2023 for
sovereign operations total $3,106 million.
7ADB’s indicative lending (including regional projects)
for Viet Nam during 2021–2023 totals $4,056.2 million, led by $2,010 million for urban metro
projects. A potential budget support program under ADB’s Comprehensive Response to the
COVID-19 Pandemic Option is included as standby in 2021. Policy-based lending operations for
2021–2023 will be subject to available resource and headroom under ADB’s policy-based lending
ceiling. Indicative grant and loan cofinancing of $1,235 million will be sought for the 2021–2023
lending pipeline to augment the annual indicative resources available for commitment.
The
indicative lending assistance pipeline, 2021–2023 is in Appendix 3 (Table A3.1).
8The 2020
lending and nonlending pipelines are in Appendix 4.
3.
To support the government’s COVID-19 response, the COBP has been adjusted to offer
potential recovery assistance.
9The COBP reflects ADB’s initiative to diversify the financing terms
for regular ordinary capital resources lending approved in November 2019. To break sector silos
as envisaged in ADB’s Strategy 2030 and minimize coordination and implementation issues of
multi-province projects, integrated multisector projects will be piloted under this COBP. The COBP
1 Total number of COVID-19 cases in Viet Nam as of 9 November 2020 is 1,213.
2 ADB projects the real gross domestic product growth for 2020 to be 1.8%, in comparison with the pre-COVID-19 estimate of 6.8%. While the decline in growth rate in Viet Nam is among the lowest in the region, some key economic sectors are likely to be affected.
3 Asian Development Bank (ADB). 2016. Country Partnership Strategy: Viet Nam, 2016–2020. Manila.
4 After approval of the SEDP 2021–2025 in July 2021, ADB’s CPS for Viet Nam, 2021–2025 is expected to be approved in August 2021. Therefore, this COBP extends the validity of ADB’s CPS, 2016–2020 until the CPS, 2021–2025 is approved in 2021.

6 Portfolio at a Glance (accessible from the list of linked documents in Appendix 2).
7 Among other factors, the final allocation will depend on the availability of resources and the project readiness. 8 ADB is exploring with the government the possibility for an emergency assistance loan in 2021 after the floods in the
center of Viet Nam during October – November 2020. VRM just completed a mission visiting nine affected provinces to assess damage and needs as a first step in this possible emergency assistance loan.
9 A stand-alone COVID-19 Relief for Women Entrepreneurs Grant Project has been included in 2020. More support for the economic recovery at the post–COVID-19 period will be reflected in the upcoming CPS, 2021–2025.
2
follows the One ADB approach with the participation and contribution of all departments
concerned within ADB in the country programming mission. The pipeline during the COBP period
exceeds ADB’s Strategy 2030 targets on gender and climate change with 93% of projects
supporting both gender equality, and climate change adaptation and mitigation.
4.
For nonsovereign operations ADB expects to process 4–6 nonsovereign transactions per
year in Viet Nam during the COBP period. Through nonsovereign operations, ADB will further
explore (i) supporting implementation of the Basel II, and Basel III capital adequacy ratio
requirements; (ii) extending ADB’s microfinance program, financial inclusion, and onlending to
small and medium-sized enterprises, renewable energy, infrastructure, agriculture, health, and
education; (iii) maintaining ADB’s market-leading position in trade finance; (iv) supporting
export-oriented and high-value agriculture products; (v) developing infrastructure; and (vi) exploring
investment opportunities to support state-owned enterprise reforms. ADB’s Office of Public–
Private Partnership is planning to support the project preparation of a wastewater treatment in Ho
Chi Minh City as a valuable test case of the new Public–Private Partnership Law’s effectiveness.
105.
The nonlending pipeline (Table A3.2), estimated at about $14.4 million, includes (i) one
knowledge support technical assistance (TA) and four transaction TA projects under the
administration by ADB’s Viet Nam Resident Mission to support the lending pipeline in 2021–2023,
and to respond to the government’s prioritized policy demands, such as COVID-19-related issues,
analytical work to prepare the upcoming CPS, and other operationally relevant issues. The
nonlending pipeline also includes TA projects (Table A3.3), knowledge products and services by
the Economic Research and Regional Cooperation Department, the Sustainable Development
and Climate Change Department, and the Asian Development Bank Institute, to ensure their
operational relevance and to strengthen interdepartmental synergy (Appendix 5).
III.
SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO LENDING AND NONLENDING PROGRAMS
6.
The following adjustments have been made to the 2021–2022 lending program:
11(i)
Changes in 2021. The Secondary Cities Environment Improvement and
Climate-Resilient Inclusive Infrastructure for Ethnic Minorities Projects were moved from
2020 to 2021.
12The Climate Smart Agriculture Value Chain Infrastructure
Development Project was moved to 2022, while the 15D National Highway Project
to 2023
. The Readiness for Front-End Engineering Details of Ho Chi Minh City
Urban Mass Rapid Transit Line 5–1 Project was added.
(ii)
Changes in 2022. The Ho Chi Minh City Third Ring Road (Ben Luc–NH22) Project
was moved to 2022 standby. The Ha Noi Metro Rail Extension (Line No.3: Ha Noi
Railway Station to Hoang Mai Section) Project was moved to 2023. New projects
include the Second Skills and Knowledge for Inclusive Economic Growth Project,
the
Second Climate-Resilient Inclusive Infrastructure for Ethnic Minorities Project
and the Yen Vien–Lao Cai Railway Upgrading Project (Phase 2).
7.
The nonlending program for 2021–2022 has been adjusted accordingly.
10 In coordination with other development partners, ADB provided significant advice to the government on a new Public– Private Partnership Law, which was passed in June 2020. OPPP’s support will complement the Second Ho Chi Minh City Climate-Resilient Urban Services Project (2022 firm).
11 The adjustments are relative to the lending pipeline of the COBP, 2020–2022.
12 The Government approved Decree 56 for the utilization and management of ODA and concessional loans on 25 May 2020. The late approval of Decree 56 combined with COVID-19 related travel restrictions has affected the approval of the two projects in 2020 and shifting them to 2021.

a The current regulations of Viet Nam do not allow sovereign lending through financial institutions. However, ADB is still exploring different options for lending to
financial institutions, including possible exemptions from the current regulations for green finance.
b The government recently issued Decree 56 that excludes the energy sector from sovereign borrowing. Instead, the government is encouraging nonsovereign
operations in the energy sector.
c ADB is still exploring potential areas to support Viet Nam’s health sector, and potential projects may be included in the next COBP.
