The State Bank of Vietnam reported on a training session for leaders of its regional branches in which Permanent Deputy Governor Doan Thai Son shared practical guidance on legal work and state management in the monetary and banking sector. The main message was that regional branches should keep their actions within their statutory authority, strengthen the legal quality of decision-making, and improve operating effectiveness through more standardised internal processes. The guidance focused on legal issues that regional branches frequently face in carrying out their duties. Branches were told to consult the Legal Department and other central State Bank of Vietnam units when difficulties arise in order to ensure legal compliance and limit risk. Branch heads were also asked to clearly identify their position across three main areas of authority, namely state management of money, organizational and personnel management, and the responsibilities of the head of the unit. On execution, units were urged to standardise file and procedure handling through checklists, particularly in inspection, supervision, and licensing, to improve control and clarify accountability. The session also highlighted the need for staff to improve their ability to search, update, and apply legal texts using electronic legal databases and digital tools, and it underlined the direct role of regional branches in managing, supervising, and supporting the people’s credit fund system in their local areas.
