The Bank of the Lao published an update on a June 23-27 visit to Vietnam by Deputy Governor Wattana Dalaraloy and related departments to exchange lessons with the State Bank of Vietnam. The discussions focused on how the banking sector can restructure its organizational setup and streamline internal arrangements, with attention to implementation approaches and practical lessons from actual execution. The Vietnamese side was led by Deputy Governor Pham Thanh Ha and relevant State Bank of Vietnam departments. The exchange was framed in the context of broader efforts in Laos and Vietnam to modernize public sector structures and make them more streamlined and efficient. Discussions therefore centered on organizational reform in the banking sector rather than on a new policy measure or supervisory action.
