According to Isuzu Vietnam Automobile Co., Ltd (IVC) - a leading enterprise in the fields of import, assembly and distribution of various commercial vehicle and automobile products in Vietnam, the temporary lockdown due to Covid-19 in Vietnam and other countries caused a significant decrease in the IVC’s production & sales output. Regarding sales policies, IVC has adjusted sales supporting policies for Agents, by lowering retail KPIs as a result of covid-19 to encourage Agents to satisfy their KPIs.

BIDV's Supply Chain Financing Product has positively supported IVC and its distribution partners. “BIDV's credit extensions to IVC's Agents facilitate the payment on cars of Agents to IVC on time, which contributes to an increase in sales and reduction in inventory of IVC.
