The State Bank of Vietnam announced organisational and personnel decisions for its Department of Forecasting, Statistics and Monetary and Financial Stability, following the merger of the former Forecasting and Statistics Department and the former Monetary and Financial Stability Department. The appointments took effect from 5 January 2025. Nguyễn Phi Lân was appointed Director General of the merged department, with Trần Tuấn Anh, Thái Thị An Hoa, Lê Quốc Hưng and Đào Văn Hà appointed as Deputy Directors General. Each appointment is for a five-year term from the date of transfer and appointment. The update also referenced Government Decree 146/2024/ND-CP (effective 5 January 2025), which provides that the department is an administrative unit supporting the Governor in state management and central banking functions, and noted that the Governor issued a decision setting out the department’s functions, tasks, powers and organisational structure. Deputy Governor Phạm Thanh Hà instructed the newly merged unit to quickly stabilise staffing and operations and to implement its work under the new organisational model without disruption to assigned responsibilities.
