In Q2 alone, the bank posted VND4.7 trillion ($179 million) in pre-tax profit.

Credit was channeled to infrastructure, manufacturing, consumption, and low-risk sectors.

Its non-performing loan (NPL) ratio was kept low at 1.94 per cent, and the capital adequacy ratio (CAR) exceeded 13 per cent under Basel II.

The bank continued to support key government and central bank programmes, including loans for affordable housing, digital infrastructure, high-tech agriculture, and green finance.
