State Bank of Vietnam Deputy Governor Pham Thanh Ha used a Banking Times roundtable on the role of banking policy communications to call for more proactive, timely and accurate policy messaging, framed as supporting market sentiment and confidence in the banking system amid rapid changes in digital media and social platforms. He positioned policy communications as a core channel for conveying Party and State directions relevant to national monetary policy, as well as National Assembly and government resolutions on socio-economic development and the State Bank of Vietnam’s own implementation. The roundtable was set up to review coordination outcomes across the Banking Times, its contributor network and editorial board, and to surface constraints in a digital communications environment, with proposals sought on refreshing content and formats, improving publication quality, increasing technology use and digital transformation, and strengthening cooperation between the press, supervisory and policy units, credit institutions, and research and training bodies.
