A Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV), Pham Tien Dung, spoke at Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Agribank)’s conference reviewing 2025 performance and setting tasks for 2026, commending Agribank’s 2025 results and outlining operational priorities for the year ahead. Agribank was assessed as having comprehensively completed and exceeded the business and financial targets assigned by the SBV, including across pre-tax profit, credit growth, profitability indicators, safety ratios and bad debt control. The SBV linked the sector’s 2025 outcomes to proactive and flexible monetary policy management and coordination with fiscal and other macroeconomic policies, including appropriate credit growth regulation to support macroeconomic stability, inflation control and currency and foreign exchange market stability. For 2026, Agribank was encouraged to follow Party, Government and SBV orientations, implement safe and effective credit growth solutions, accelerate digital transformation, cut internal administrative procedures, and continue restructuring associated with handling bad debts. The conference also highlighted Agribank’s organisational streamlining, investment in technology and human resources, expansion of digital banking products and rural financial access, and measures such as interest rate and fee reductions and support for social security programmes.
