The State Bank of Vietnam published a message from Governor Nguyen Thi Hong to mark the 74th anniversary of Vietnam’s banking sector, reflecting on the sector’s historical contribution and setting priorities for the next phase of development. The message highlighted achievements including inflation control, broad stability in the macroeconomy and money and foreign exchange markets, the expansion of Vietnam’s credit institutions, and deeper international integration in banking. Looking ahead, it called on staff to renew thinking and working methods to support a reorganisation and streamlining of the organisational apparatus, improve operational effectiveness, and build orientations and strategies for breakthrough development as Vietnam pursues its goal of becoming a developed industrial country by 2045.
