SMBC terminates capital alliance with Vietnam Eximbank

It will liquidate its entire equity ownership in the bank.

Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation is terminating its capital alliance with the Vietnam Export Import Commercial Joint Stock Bank, or Vietnam Eximbank.

SMBC and Vietnam Eximbank had earlier terminated their strategic alliance earlier in March 2022. SMBC has since entered into a business partnership with the Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank in May 2022.

“Since then, SMBC has been engaging in ongoing deliberations regarding the future status of our ownership stake in Vietnam Eximbank. As a result of those deliberations SMBC came to the conclusion that we will liquidate our entire equity ownership in Vietnam Eximbank,” the Japanese banking giant said in a press statement.
