The Vietnam Export Import Commercial Joint Stock Bank (Eximbank) announced the resignations of four leaders on 8/6. Among them, Pham Thi Huyen Trang requested to step down as an independent board member but will continue as Chairwoman until 24/7, when Eximbank holds an extraordinary meeting.

Previously, Huyen Trang became Eximbank's Chairwoman in early 12/2025. She holds a Master's degree in Finance and Banking, having worked at VietinBank for 12 years and gaining experience at major corporations such as Sun Group and Deo Ca.

In addition to Trang, three others also submitted resignations: Pham Tuan Anh, Nguyen Tri Trung, and Nguyen Trong Hien. Nguyen Tri Trung and Nguyen Trong Hien, former Gelex Chairman, had only joined the Eximbank board this April.

Following the four resignations, Eximbank's board of directors will have one remaining member: Ho Poh Wah. In late May, the bank also dismissed four deputy general directors: Dao Hong Chau, Nguyen Ho Hoang Vu, Nguyen Huong Minh, and Pham Quang Dung.

Conversely, on 2/6, Eximbank appointed Nguyen Thanh Long as head of administration cum deputy general director.

On 24/7, Eximbank will convene its 2026 extraordinary meeting to elect additional board members and Supervisory Board (BKS) for the 2025-2030 term. The deadline for shareholders to register to attend and vote is 24/6.

Currently, Gelex Group is Eximbank's largest investor, holding a 10% stake. The company appeared on the list of shareholders holding over 1% of Eximbank's capital in 7/2024.

Gelex Chairman Nguyen Van Tuan stated that the group acts as a long-term strategic investor in Eximbank. The company aims to increase its stake in Eximbank, subject to regulatory approval.
