The State Bank of Vietnam's Region 10 branch held a conference to review 2025 monetary and banking activity across Khanh Hoa and Lam Dong provinces and to implement banking tasks for 2026. SBV Standing Deputy Governor Doan Thai Son highlighted stable regional operations, implementation of monetary and credit policy directions with a focus on priority sectors, efforts to stabilise and reduce lending rates, and the maintenance of safe and smooth payment services amid severe weather-related disruptions. By end-2025, regional deposit mobilisation reached VND 414,608 billion, up VND 59,483 billion or 16.75% from the beginning of the year, while outstanding loans reached VND 574,307 billion, up VND 50,413 billion or 9.62%. Total credit balance in the area was VND 762,802 billion when also counting lending by credit institutions in Region 10 and borrowing from credit institutions outside the area; electronic funds transfer payment turnover totalled VND 147,629 billion, including 9,981 outbound transfers worth VND 76,851 billion and 5,162 inbound remittances worth VND 70,778 billion. Khanh Hoa provincial leaders pointed to debt restructuring, interest-rate reductions and other customer support measures following storms and floods, and reported banking-sector social support in the province of VND 53.5 billion in 2025, including nearly VND 30 billion for construction and repair of 261 houses. For 2026, the regional programme is framed against national objectives of two-digit growth and inflation of about 4.5%, requiring the banking sector to balance macroeconomic stability and inflation control with support for high growth. Priorities set for SBV Region 10 and local credit institutions include full implementation of government and SBV directions on currency, credit, banking and foreign exchange, continued digital transformation and non-cash payments with strengthened security, and closer coordination with local authorities to monitor conditions, address issues under their remit, and report and propose matters to SBV headquarters and local governments.
