Commercial banks have stimulated credit demand right from the start of the year to support economic growth.

Total outstanding loans of credit institutions in Ho Chi Minh City as of the end of last year were worth over VND3.9 quadrillion (US$153.3 billion), a 11.3% increase for the year, according to the central bank.

Credit growth across the banking sector reached 15.08% as of the end of 2024, exceeding the year’s target of 15%, according to Standing Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) Dao Minh Tu.

Credit growth across Vietnam's banking system is projected to reach about 16% in 2025, according to the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV).
