The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) on July 31 announced that it has raised the credit growth target for commercial banks to support economic growth amid controlled inflation, in line with the Government’s directives.

VOV.VN - Vietnam is racing to complete a comprehensive legal framework to launch its national carbon market, a key step toward meeting its net-zero commitments and driving a low-carbon, competitive economy.

Vietnam’s credit conditions will remain stable in the second half of 2025, supported by proactive fiscal measures and ongoing institutional reforms, according to analysts of the Vietnam Investors Service (VIS) Rating, an affiliate of Moody’s.

Despite the average inflation rate for 2025 being forecasted at around 3.4%, it is crucial to closely monitor inflationary pressures stemming from exchange rates and credit growth to draw up effective inflation control policies, said Nguyen Duc Do, deputy director of the Institute of Economics and Finance.

VOV.VN - Total credit to the national economy rose by nearly 10 % in the first half of 2025 to over VND17.2 quadrillion, marking the fastest growth rate since 2023.

VOV.VN - Vietnam is set to participate in the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) programme, starting January 1, 2026, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV).

Vietnam stands at a pivotal juncture as it seeks to actualise its net-zero carbon ambitions by 2050, with the launch of a domestic carbon credit market closely seen as a strategic instrument to catalyse greenhouse gas mitigation.

Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) Dao Minh Tu provided further details on the direction, mechanism, and expected timeline of the preferential credit package worth VND500 trillion (about US$20 billion) to support businesses investing in infrastructure and digital technology, at the Government’s monthly regular press conference.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has called on the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)’s assistance for Vietnam to develop the carbon credit market and support farmers in remote areas.

The Vietnamese Government has issued a new decree stipulating that foreign investors could only buy treasury stocks which were purchased by credit institutions before January 1, 2021.
