The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) Region 13 Branch held a review of 2025 banking activities and set out its 2026 work programme for the two provinces of Dong Thap and Tay Ninh, with Deputy Governor Nguyen Ngoc Canh providing direction.

Lending shifted toward large-scale and high-spillover sectors, with agriculture, forestry and fishery loans reaching nearly VND 107,000bn, up 20.4%, and agricultural and rural credit totalling about VND 321,000bn or 61% of outstanding loans; loans to key agricultural products such as rice, vegetables and aquatic products ranged from VND 17,800bn to VND 60,800bn with growth of 12% to 35%.
