The State Bank of Vietnam organised a training course for department-level planning officials focused on strengthening capacity to formulate institutional policies and on international economic integration in the banking sector, with participation from Standing Deputy Governor Doan Thai Son and Deputy Governor Nguyen Ngoc Canh. Doan Thai Son highlighted three trends shaping banking institutions and policy development: digital transformation, the green and sustainable economy including translating international commitments such as COP26 into operational regulation, and international integration requiring timely and flexible internalisation of international standards. He framed institutional capacity as the ability to use law for administration, underpinned by legal thinking, legal courage in performing official duties, and systems thinking that prioritises central bank-wide objectives. Nguyen Ngoc Canh reviewed the broader integration context and referenced Politburo Resolution 59-NQ/TW on international integration, pointing to Vietnam’s strategic partnerships with all five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and diplomatic relations with 194 countries, and citing banking-sector integration achievements including participation in 17 free trade agreements and more than 330 international agreements and a lean governance framework aligned with international standards.
