However, opportunities coming from the State Bank's new policies such as flexible interest rate management, closely following market developments, and global digitaltransformation are expected to bring great impetus for banks to overcome difficulties.

For the insurance industry, the "headwinds" in themarket have had a strong impact on the industry in recent years,especially the series of cases related to insurance distribution channelsthrough banks that have pulled down public confidence in the llife insurance market inparticular and the insurance industry in general.

Meanwhile, the information technology - telecommunicationsindustry has made progress and continued to be a bright spot in Vietnam'seconomy in 2022. But from the end of 2022 to the beginning of 2023, businesses in theindustry are affected by the weak demand due to the risk of world economicrecession and inflationary pressure.
