Such a growth rate will ensure financial safety and consolidate the sustainability and efficiency of a bank which does not target profits to implement Government policy tending.
Any profit will be used to guarantee the bank’s capacity to carry out investment and export lending policies and other tasks assigned by the Government to help fulfill the nation’s socio-economic development strategies and plans in different periods.
