In May, Vinspeed, a subsidiary founded by Vingroup Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong, proposed the bid for the 958-mile (1,540-km) railway linking Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, promising to self-fund 20% of the project while seeking an 80% state-funded loan at zero interest over 35 years.
However, the central bank expressed concerns over Vingroup's high leverage and lack of experience in rail infrastructure, warning that the loan request and required guarantees could pose risks to banking stability. A May 19 opinion reviewed by Reuters indicated the proposal would need "special state guarantees."

The finance ministry also flagged the proposal's zero-interest terms and 30-year debt repayment schedule, servicing only at maturity, as equivalent to a state subsidy that could impact Vietnam's credit ratings.
In addition to Vingroup, investors including auto industry company THACO, Vietnam Railways and Vietnam Investment and Development Group have shown interest in the high-speed rail project.
Vingroup said its withdrawal would not impede the project's progress and would allow the company to focus on delivering other large-scale initiatives.
The government has said the winner of the North-South railway will be announced in January.
