It was the first NEXI untied loan for large-scale power transmission projects in Asia.

The transaction, through the insurance coverage by NEXI, provided NPT with more competitive funding than the traditional commercial loan facility. It demonstrated how agency-backed financing remains a key tool for obtaining funding for large projects in Asia,

The proceeds were used to finance the construction of four strategically important power transmission projects, which would help maintain the stability and reliability of the power distribution network in the southern part of Vietnam.
