Vietnam's banking sector to post 15 per cent credit growth in 2025

HANOI (Xinhua): The credit growth for the Vietnam's banking sector in 2025 will likely be at 15 per cent, equivalent to the target for 2024 and higher than nominal GDP growth of about 10 per cent, Vietnam News Agency cited experts.

According to analysts of the Asia Commercial Bank Securities Companies, the real estate market in the country has gradually recovered, while the government has also been promoting public investment.

These factors will help stimulate an increase in credit demand, which will support banks' lending yields in the second half of 2025.

Meanwhile, commercial banks' pre-tax profits in 2025 are forecast to grow by 14.9 per cent year-on-year. - Xinhua
