The State Bank of Vietnam held a banking sector conference to launch two sector-wide campaigns, “Nationwide competition for innovation and digital transformation” and “Digital popular education”, linked to implementation of Politburo Resolution 57 on science and technology, innovation and digital transformation. As part of its implementation work, the central bank has issued a banking sector plan under Decision 1364/QD-NHNN dated 5 March 2025, allocating tasks to State Bank of Vietnam units, credit institutions, foreign bank branches and payment intermediary service providers. Conference discussions were directed mainly at the “Digital popular education” campaign, including scalable digital initiatives, approaches to building digital and innovation culture and lifelong learning, and solutions to raise digital capabilities across the banking workforce, alongside proposals and recommendations for the central bank. The banking sector steering committee for science and technology, innovation and digital transformation held its first meeting on 23 April 2025, and the State Bank of Vietnam is scheduled to convene a Banking Sector Digital Transformation event on 29 May 2025.
