As of December 31 last year, Agribank’s total asset exceeded 1.697 quadrillion VND (74.5 billion USD) and accumulated outstanding loans reached over 1.31 quadrillion VND, 70 percent of which has been taken out for agricultural and rural development.
In this year’s Banking 500 annual report, Brand Finance said Vietnam’s banking sector is one of the fastest-growing in the world with an overall brand value growth of 49 percent.
All Vietnamese brands in the ranking have experienced growth or add to the country’s total as new entrants, the report said. It has been a very fruitful year for Vietnamese banks, which have observed continuous growth in their balance sheets and income statements, with both deposits and loans issued growing.
This has been bolstered by the nation’s recovery from the pandemic, which was well-managed by the government, resulting in strong economic growth.
Among these brands, MBBank is also one of those going the fastest, with its brand value up by a staggering 113 percent to 642 million USD, followed by Techcombank (up 80 percent to 945 million USD).
In addition, the strong growth in the Vietnamese banking sector has brought two new entrants to the top 500 this year, namely HD Bank (up 53 percent to 248 million USD) and Saigon Hanoi Bank (SHB) (up 63 percent to 211 million USD)./.
