About Vietnam
Vietnam: The land of opportunities. It is remarkable to note how far the country has progressed over recent years. Moving away from a centrally planned system into a market-based economy, Vietnam is now considered one of the most dynamic emerging markets. Vietnam has been enjoying an incredibly strong economic development. Its GDP growth in the last two decades has been among the fastest globally. According to the latest available data the number of bank branches in Vietnam has been growing steadily in recent years, reflecting the expansion of the country’s banking sector and the increasing demand for banking services among the population. The banking sector in Vietnam employs over 236,000 people. This figure includes staff working in both bank branches and head offices. It’s worth
noting that this number has likely increased since then, given the ongoing growth of the banking sector in Vietnam.
