The State Bank of Vietnam published an update on the National Money Printing Factory’s 2025 employee delegates conference, attended by Standing Deputy Governor Dao Minh Tu, focusing on the factory’s 2024 production delivery and priorities as cash usage declines and payment technology evolves. The factory reported completing 100% of its 2024 production plan by 15 December 2024 and delivering all products to the State Bank of Vietnam by 27 December 2024, with defect rates below permitted thresholds. Management highlighted process oversight and technical improvements to increase productivity and quality, along with procurement planning for key inputs and work across finance, internal control, corporate disclosures and security. Dao Minh Tu noted expected operational pressures from the expansion of non-cash payments, the emergence of digital money and technology-driven shifts away from manual labour, and called for a focus on digital technology adoption, training and skills development, organisational discipline and worker protections; the conference also recorded awards to three individuals as “Banking Sector Emulation Soldiers” and commendations from the Governor to six collectives and 18 individuals.
