The State Bank of Vietnam issued a decision promulgating its 2025 plan for disseminating and educating on law, setting out priorities to strengthen legal awareness and ensure access to legal information for organisations, individuals and businesses in the banking sector. The plan focuses on continuing implementation of prior Party and government directives on legal dissemination, strengthening organisational arrangements and staffing for this work, and expanding training and professional development for designated legal communicators. Content to be communicated includes newly issued laws and ordinances expected at the end of 2025, government decrees and prime ministerial decisions drafted with State Bank involvement, and new State Bank circulars on monetary policy, banking activity and foreign exchange, alongside broader legal topics such as civil and political rights and other laws affecting rights and obligations (including civil matters, land, public investment, construction and tax). Delivery channels include publishing full texts and supporting materials on the State Bank’s website, sector-wide in-person and online conferences, internal competitions, coordination with broadcast and digital media, and integrating legal content into cultural activities and training programmes, including organisation of Vietnam Law Day. Implementation is led by the State Bank’s Legal Department in coordination with State Bank units and provincial/municipal branches, with six-month and annual results reports to be submitted for consolidation. The decision takes effect from the date of signing.
