A two-year study by First Mutual Credit helped lead to the approval of a historic USD 150 Million corporate revenue bond issue to fund water and wastewater infrastructure improvements in Hanoi
The study developed by First Mutual Credit Corporation included in-depth analyses of the overall financial, legal and regulatory elements of the bond funding project.
The bond issue approval for the Hanoi Water Assets Operation and Development Company, Ltd. marked the first time a water company in the Hanoi, Vietnam has issued bonds.
"This successful bond issue will help enhance the water services in Hanoi in a very timely manner," said Shaun Morgan First Mutual Credit CEO. "It also is an important step in creating a financial platform for increasing foreign investment and trade with the Vietnam."
Water companies in Vietnam have historically financed improvements to their infrastructure through a combination of short-term bank loans, government grants and cash. The new HWAOD corporate bonds will accelerate infrastructure improvements by making funds available in a shorter timeframe. The corporate bonds are set at 4.25 percent interest rate with a 15-year maturity. During the next 10 years the HWAOD expects to invest $3 billion to $4 billion in its water and wastewater infrastructure in Hanoi.
"The staff of the HWAOD demonstrated a high level of expertise in utility operations and management. This was a key factor in the successful completion of our study and in this historic bond issue being implemented," Shaun Morgan added.
