On September 25, 2025, at the Vietnam Financial Advisors High-Level Forum 2025, themed “New Era, New Momentum,” Agribank was honored in three prestigious categories: Outstanding Priority Customer Service; Outstanding Digital Transformation and Technology Product; and Innovative Personal Financial Solutions. The bank was also recognized by the organizers as a Leading Enterprise for Financial Services Development for the third consecutive year. This recognition underscores Agribank’s relentless efforts in innovation and its commitment to fostering economic growth.
During the forum, government agencies and domestic and international experts analyzed the global economic landscape, identifying opportunities and risks. They also discussed sustainable investment strategies amidst global uncertainties, including conflicts, trade tensions, and financial volatility. In Vietnam, 2025 marks a significant turning point with major resolutions, ambitious growth targets, and expanded fiscal and monetary policies. The domestic financial market witnessed key milestones: the potential upgrade of the stock market, legalization of digital assets, the launch of an international financial center, and a more robust legal framework.
New policies, such as Resolution No. 05/2025/NQ-CP dated September 9, 2025, on piloting digital assets in Vietnam, and Decision No. 2014/QĐ-TTg dated September 12, 2025, approving the Vietnam Stock Market Upgrade Plan, highlight the growing importance of digital transformation and technology. This includes AI-driven solutions for personal financial planning and diversified asset management. The 2025 Vietnam Financial Advisors High-Level Forum’s awards were designed to align with these objectives. This year, the judging panel evaluated 816 enterprises, up from 304 in 2024, reflecting the program’s growing influence and trust among businesses.
