The State Bank of Vietnam convened its Financial Stability Task Force to discuss the 2025 Financial Stability Report and the 2026 work agenda. Members agreed that the main priorities for 2026 are to strengthen analytical, forecasting and early warning capacity and to improve policy coordination among regulators, as Vietnam moves into the first year of its 2025 to 2030 socio economic development plan and seeks to preserve monetary, financial and broader macroeconomic stability. According to the draft 2025 report presented at the meeting, Vietnam's financial system remained stable and continued to develop sustainably in 2025. The draft estimated GDP growth at 8.02 percent and inflation at 3.31 percent, with the balance of payments continuing to improve. It also noted that credit institutions remained the economy's main funding channel, with assets, funding and credit all expanding, while the money, foreign exchange and capital markets operated smoothly and banks' governance and risk management moved closer to international standards. The 2026 report is intended to provide a more detailed and comprehensive assessment of the stability of the overall financial system and each of its constituent sectors. Task force members were asked to provide more detailed comments on gaps or areas that need adjustment so the report can be finalized on a more comprehensive and practical basis.
