Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has urged the banking sector to make an important contribution to maintaining macroeconomic stability, promoting growth, ensuring major balances; reducing costs to reduce lending rates; and providing credit to prioritised industries and programmes.

Indonesian President-elect Prabowo Subianto and Vice President-elect Gibran Rakabuming Raka have sketched out a number of programmes in service of national development in the time ahead.

The banking industry is taking solutions to promote credit growth, increase access of people and businesses to credit, and promptly meet the capital demand of the economy, said Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) Nguyen Thi Hong.
