The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has launched a banking-sector-wide emulation campaign for 2026, framed as a drive to deliver the sector’s mandate under the theme “Innovation and creativity, safe digitalisation, streamlined efficiency, determination to successfully complete the 2026 tasks”. The initiative was initiated at SBV’s 2026 banking task deployment conference following the Governor’s issuance of Document No. 11616/NHNN-TCCB. Priority actions span completing the legal framework for monetary and banking activities and running monetary policy proactively and flexibly in coordination with fiscal and other macro policies to stabilise the macroeconomy, control inflation and support sustainable growth. The campaign also highlights safer credit administration and capital allocation towards production, business and priority sectors, improved access to bank finance for households and businesses including private enterprises, enhanced inspection and supervision and market discipline, solutions to manage the gold and foreign exchange markets, faster non-performing loan resolution and the restructuring of weak credit institutions, and accelerated digital transformation including cashless payments and modernised IT and data infrastructure with system security. Organisational streamlining, administrative reform, workforce development, stronger financial capacity and risk management including internal inspection and audit, greater industry input through associations, international cooperation, and participation in social welfare activities were also included. SBV leadership asked heads of units to translate the campaign priorities into concrete actions and organise implementation across the sector.
