The banking sector plays the key role in maintaining the macro-economic stability and other major balances of the economy, stated Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh at a New Year meeting with leaders and staff of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) on February 8.
This year, the banking sector will focus on providing maximum support for enterprises to resume production while pouring cash flow into priority fields in line with the Government’s direction, Dao Minh Tu, Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has said.
The Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank) again tops the list of ten most prestigious commercial banks in Vietnam this year, according to the latest ranking announced by Vietnam Report.
Though there remains six months, some banks have almost used up the assigned quota for the whole year, and experts said it would be difficult for the banks to get an expansion approval from the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV).
