The State Bank of Vietnam’s Party Committee held its annual review conference for 2025 and discussed draft reports and a draft Standing Board resolution to set the banking sector’s key tasks for 2026, chaired by Governor Nguyen Thi Hong. In concluding remarks, the Governor framed 2026 as a pivotal year and called for decisive implementation to maintain macroeconomic stability and banking-system safety while supporting economic growth. The meeting considered a draft 2025 work summary and an inspection and supervision report for 2025, alongside the main contents of a draft resolution on 2026 priorities. The core operational focus areas highlighted included proactive, flexible and effective monetary policy management, inflation control, stabilising the exchange rate and money and foreign-exchange markets, supporting growth, safeguarding the safety of credit institutions, addressing outstanding issues and risks, and leading digital transformation and governance improvements amid wider public-sector organisational streamlining. Feedback from participants is to be incorporated into the Standing Board’s resolution, intended to provide the basis for leadership and direction across the Party organisation within the State Bank of Vietnam and the broader banking sector in 2026.
