By the end of the session on August 29, the total market capitalization of the banking sector exceeded 2.9 million VND trillion, an increase of 475,512 VND billion (nearly 20%) compared to the previous month. The sector currently accounts for approximately 46% of the total market capitalization, maintaining its leading role.
This surge in market capitalization can be attributed to a rise in share prices across the board, with only ABB and KLB experiencing minor declines of less than 5%. Notably, private banks outperformed their state-owned counterparts, with significant gains in VPB (+36%), MBB (+35%), TPB (+33%), and LPB (+32%).

SHB maintained its top position in terms of liquidity, with an average of nearly 119 million shares traded per session (including matched and negotiated deals), a 29% increase from the previous month. On the other hand, BAB was the least liquid stock, with only 54,081 shares traded per session, amounting to less than 800 million VND in value.
