Hanoi: The State Bank of Vietnam has projected that the nation's credit growth will climb to between 19 and 20 percent by the end of 2025. This forecast is attributed to the positive capital demand and the economy's capacity to absorb, as reported by the Vietnam News Agency.

According to Namibia Press Agency, financial statements from 27 listed banks indicated that the total outstanding loans increased by 15 percent from the end of 2024, totaling over 13.6 quadrillion Vietnamese dong (approximately 541.61 billion U.S. dollars). This rise is seen as a positive signal for economic expansion, although it presents challenges concerning liquidity and quality control.
