The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) used the Banking Times’ annual review conference to set out the publication’s 2026 priorities, with Deputy Governor Pham Thanh Ha calling for a stronger role as the SBV’s official spokesperson and policy-communication channel alongside accelerated digital transformation. The 2025 review highlighted organisational consolidation and personnel re-arrangement under the new structure, plus a Party Congress for the 2025–2030 term. The Banking Times expanded specialist columns, increased coordination with SBV units, developed digital products including videos, podcasts and e-magazines, and began introducing artificial intelligence into content production, with nearly 32 million total views across digital platforms; it also supported 20 seminars and conferences, including the 2025 Banking Digital Transformation Event. The conference presented SBV Governor certificates of merit to the Banking Times collective and five individuals, and awarded seven individuals medals for service to banking. For 2026, the Deputy Governor requested a clear digital transformation roadmap that covers not only technology adoption but also changes to content production, newsroom management and data use, alongside stronger distribution on digital platforms and social networks. Priorities also include improving information quality and reference value, professionalising event and communications activities, strengthening internal management and human resource development, and maintaining close coordination with relevant SBV units.
