Alongside the video series, SHB will revisit landmarks associated with the historical significance of September 2nd, such as Ba Dinh Square, the August Revolution Square, and Dong Xuan Market. These stops are meant not only to reminisce about the nation’s sacred moments but also to reflect on the country’s transformations over time, thus fostering a deeper appreciation for the past and a heightened sense of responsibility for building the future.
Additionally, the campaign features engaging activities on the bank’s communication channels, including gift-giving at branches and inviting customers to design personalized t-shirts using the “Happiness is Being Vietnamese” gift collection. These experiences are flexibly implemented both offline and online, offering a wide range of customers, especially the youth, opportunities to spread their love for the nation and connect traditional values with modern vibes.
All these elements contribute to an emotional, meaningful, and cohesive journey that aligns with the main spirit: Happiness is Being Vietnamese.

The “Happiness is Being Vietnamese” collection includes t-shirts, fabric bags, bandanas, thermoses, and lanyards, all designed to commemorate 80 years of independence. Each item in the collection conveys national pride and Vietnamese inspiration in every detail.
With over 40,000 gifts, SHB expresses its deepest gratitude to millions of customers who have accompanied the bank on the journey towards a happy and sustainable financial future. The more transactions customers make, the more opportunities they have to acquire additional gifts from the collection, corresponding to the number of products and services they choose to use at SHB. Besides their symbolic value, these gifts are also highly practical for daily life, be it in personal spaces or inspiring community events celebrating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2nd.
Especially, SHB offers an extra special gift from the collection to customers born in 1945 or whose birthday coincides with National Day. This gift is presented separately when customers perform any transaction at the counter during the program, in addition to the regular product policy gifts. It is SHB’s way of expressing gratitude to the generations that have witnessed the country’s historic journey.
For customers born on September 2, 1945, SHB proudly presents the complete “Happiness is Being Vietnamese” collection as a meaningful birthday gift to citizens who were born on the day of independence, grew up with the times, and accompanied the nation through historical changes.
“SHB hopes that the ‘Happiness is Being Vietnamese’ collection will not only be a tangible gift but also a companion on customers’ journeys, from financial transactions to daily experiences,” said a representative of SHB. “It symbolizes sharing, bonding, and the aspiration to build a fulfilling future together, where happiness is nurtured by love for the homeland and the unity of millions of Vietnamese hearts.”
“Happiness is Being Vietnamese” is a humane message, a proud affirmation, and a patriotic declaration. SHB believes that every Vietnamese, wherever they are, is happy and proud to live, contribute, and accompany the development of Vietnam. We are fortunate to love our country and contribute to its progress in our unique ways.
The Innovation Renaissance: From Policy to Practice
Vietnam is embarking on an era of Doi Moi 2.0, a rapid transformation from policy statements to tangible outcomes, as evidenced by the 34 laws passed in June 2025, along with far-reaching administrative reforms. In the coming months, VinaCapital anticipates an accelerated pace of infrastructure investment disbursements, particularly in the transportation and energy sectors. Similarly, the real estate sector is expected to continue benefiting from recent policies that unblock stalled projects.
Unlocking Capital: Vietnam’s Public Investment Disbursement Reaches an Estimated VND 388 Trillion by July End
As of July 31, 2025, the Ministry of Finance estimates that disbursement since the beginning of the year stands at VND 388,301.15 billion, representing 39.45% of the plan and 43.9% of the plan assigned by the Prime Minister. This demonstrates a significant improvement compared to the same period in 2024, when disbursement reached only 27.76% and 33.8% of the respective plans.
The CPI for the first seven months is estimated to increase by 3.2-3.3%.
The Ministry of Finance reports that the consumer price index (CPI) for the first seven months of the year is estimated to have increased by 3.2-3.3% compared to the same period last year. This is an appropriate level that supports economic growth, especially as resources are being focused on achieving the highest possible economic expansion. Vietnam’s inflation is being carefully managed within the target range set by the National Assembly and the Government of 4.5-5%, contributing to macroeconomic stability.
“Financial Institutions Embrace the Digital Asset Revolution”
The legalization of digital assets marks a pivotal moment in Vietnam’s legal history.
