Vietnam’s southern metropolis eyes bond issuances to partially fund upcoming projects with less reliance on official development assistance
[HO CHI MINH CITY] Vietnam’s southern metropolis Ho Chi Minh City marked a major milestone in its long-awaited mass transit development on Sunday (Dec 22), with the official launch of its first metro line after a six-year delay.
The Ben Thanh-Suoi Tien section, or Metro Line No 1, is the first of eight planned routes that will form a comprehensive mass transit system for Vietnam’s largest and most populous city.
This marks the country’s third metro line, following the first two in the capital Hanoi.
