The Bank of the Lao held its annual 2025 regular meeting of the Inspection Committee to review the central bank’s inspection work and set the direction for 2026. The review focused on assessing strengths, weaknesses, outstanding issues, underlying causes and lessons from the past year, rather than announcing new supervisory measures. The meeting also heard reports on the implementation of accounting work by relevant units and on the drafting and revision of laws and subordinate legal instruments related to the banking sector. Participants discussed changes to the structure of summary reports and to the composition of the Inspection Committee and its secretariat so they better match operational responsibilities and support more effective committee work.
