On 18 June 2015, in Vientiane, Laos, BIDV held a ceremony to hand over the IT development program to the Lao Government Office.

The program includes training to IT staff, IT equipment and an internal email system for the Office. Total sponsored funds for the project are USD83,000. The program started in February, 2015 and completed in June, 2015. ​

Mr. Tran Bac Ha, Chairman of BIDV said the project was of great meaning to improve the labor productivity, reduce cost and time in processing administrative documents of Laos Government. More importantly, the safety and security of the Lao Government’s management were ensured. BIDV would continue cooperating with the Lao Government Office to operate the operation smoothly, effectively serving the management system.

Based on the recommendation of the Lao Government Office, in the coming time, BIDV would consider sponsoring the IT project phase 2. The project would include IT training sessions for Laos officials (take place in Vietnam), construction of e- governance system and e-government portal.

On this occasion, the Prime Minister of Laos has awarded certificates of merit to BIDV as the recognition and appreciation of the Lao Government for the bank’s active and effective support.

As the first Vietnamese bank operating in Laos, after 16 years of operation BIDV has become a familiar brand to the Lao people through Lao-Viet Joint Venture Bank (LaoVietBank), Lao-Viet Insurance Joint Venture Company (LVI) and BIDV’s representative office in Laos. In 16 years, BIDV successfully performed its role as an effective bridge between the two economies, fostering friendly relations between the two nations.
