Most of these banksstill performed well and were honoured through the tumultuous years because ofthe COVID-19 pandemic.

This is a remarkable effort in the context that in 2022, Vietnam’s stock marketwas going through strong volatile due to geopolitic crisis, unstablemacro-economics, tight monetary policies of many central banks, high interestrates, exchange rate pressure, along with a decrease in investor confidenceafter a series of cases of economic corruption and stock market manipulation.

Amid the constant fluctuations of the economy and the stock market, especiallywhen market confidence is at a low level after recent violations, reputationand efficiency play a key role in the success of listed companies because itimproves access to capital, boosts market valuations, and provides competitiveadvantages.
