The State Bank of Vietnam issued strategic and operational direction for Deposit Insurance of Vietnam at its 2025 work programme conference, prioritising a formal digital transformation plan, expanded inspection and monitoring activity, and preparatory work to amend the deposit insurance framework to better support the handling of weak credit institutions. Supporting this agenda, Deposit Insurance of Vietnam reported completing its 2024 periodic inspections of 250 deposit-insurance member institutions and State Bank-directed inspections of 75 People’s Credit Funds, while noting that no deposit insurance payout obligations arose during the year. Work on revising the Deposit Insurance Law included technical coordination with State Bank units on proposed policy elements and continued benchmarking against international experience, and the conference also saw a data-sharing cooperation agreement signed with the National Credit Information Centre of Vietnam. The State Bank’s 2025 priorities also covered meeting State Bank-approved business and financial plans, strengthening communications on deposit insurance policy with a focus on rural and remote depositors and People’s Credit Funds, and longer-term measures to enhance Deposit Insurance of Vietnam’s financial capacity through a broader investment approach, higher charter capital from retained earnings, full premium assessment and collection, and a mechanism for accessing support funding if resources are temporarily insufficient.
