At its 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (AGM) held in April 2026, Eximbank approved its 2026-2030 Development Strategy together with a new corporate governance framework designed in line with international governance standards while fully complying with Vietnamese regulations.

In accordance with the established roadmap, Eximbank is progressively strengthening its governance model by enhancing the structure of its Board of Directors and the Board's committees, reinforcing its executive leadership team, and continuing to improve its governance policies and internal regulations to ensure the effective implementation of the Bank's 2026-2030 Development Strategy.

As the next milestone in this roadmap, at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) held on 24 July 2026, shareholders elected six additional Independent Members of the Board of Directors, further advancing the Bank's target governance structure.
Following approval from the State Bank of Vietnam, Eximbank's Board of Directors has appointed Ms. Pham Thi Huyen Trang as Chief Executive Officer, effective 1 August 2026.

The State Bank of Vietnam has also approved Ms. Trang's eligibility for the position of Non-independent Member of the Board of Directors. As part of Eximbank's ongoing roadmap to further strengthen its Board structure, the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders expected to be held in October 2026 will consider Board appointments, including Ms. Trang's candidacy alongside other nominees, as the Bank continues progressing towards its target governance model comprising nine to eleven Independent Directors by 2028, in line with the governance framework approved by shareholders.

Ms. Pham Thi Huyen Trang holds a Master's Degree in Banking and Finance and an Advanced Diploma in Political Theory, and has extensive experience in banking and finance. Prior to her appointment as Chief Executive Officer, she served as Chairwoman of Eximbank's Board of Directors, where she contributed to the implementation planning of the Bank's 2026-2030 Development Strategy and its corporate governance enhancement roadmap.

As Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Trang will work closely with the Executive Management Team to implement the strategic directions approved by the Board of Directors and shareholders, further strengthen executive capability, reinforce risk management, enhance operational effectiveness, and deliver the objectives of Eximbank's development strategy in its next phase.

Mr. Nguyen Le Quoc Anh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Eximbank, said:

"Eximbank's development strategy is built upon a strong corporate governance foundation. Our objective is to establish a governance model that is transparent, independent and professional, fully compliant with Vietnamese law while continuously aligning with international standards.
Strengthening the Board of Directors, the Executive Management Team and our core leadership team is a multi-year journey, with 2026 serving as the foundation year for the Bank's transformation to support its long-term sustainable development.

The appointment of Ms. Pham Thi Huyen Trang as Chief Executive Officer represents another important milestone in this roadmap. I am fully confident that, with her leadership experience, deep understanding of the banking industry and shared commitment to Eximbank's strategic direction, she and the Executive Management Team will successfully drive the Bank's transformation.

Ultimately, our goal extends beyond building a bank that is safe, transparent and efficient. More importantly, we aim to build an institution capable of safeguarding depositors' trust, delivering outstanding customer service, supporting businesses in enhancing their investment efficiency, and contributing positively to Vietnam's economic development and the financial well-being of its people."
