The State Bank of Vietnam held a conference in Can Tho to announce the organisation and staffing decisions for State Bank of Vietnam Regional Branch 14, completing its post-reorganisation setup to align with provincial administrative boundary adjustments effective from 1 July 2025. Deputy Governor Nguyen Ngoc Canh, acting under the Governor’s authority, handed over decisions on transfers and appointments for the branch’s leadership team and key personnel and set operational and supervisory priorities. Following the restructuring, Regional Branch 14 is responsible for Can Tho City and Vinh Long province and oversees 148 commercial bank branches and 49 People’s Credit Funds. Management directions included strengthening internal governance, vault and cash management and monetary safety, while requiring credit institutions to accelerate digital transformation and administrative reform, coordinate with local authorities on bank–business connectivity initiatives, and pursue credit growth with tighter risk control and prioritisation for production, social housing and key projects, alongside enhanced fraud warnings and customer communication. The branch reported outstanding loans in the region of over VND 491.7tn by end-July 2025, up 7.68% from end-2024, with trade and services accounting for more than 66.1% of credit and export credit up 20.94%; agricultural and rural credit reached VND 237.45tn (48.29% of total), including lending of over VND 38.3tn to rice, VND 44.8tn to seafood and VND 14.1tn to fruit and vegetables.
