Published purpose

The goal of the project is to improve regulation of the banking sector in Vietnam, in order to facilitate private sector development and poverty-reducing economic growth. Working with the State Bank of Vietnam in support of the Government of Vietnam's banking sector reform strategy, the project strengthens the banking sector in Vietnam through a targeted program of technical assistance and training to both the State Bank and select commercial banks. This assistance is expected to improve the State Bank's overall organization and management, its ability to carry out its banking supervision functions in a more open, market-oriented economy, and strengthen the governance and operations of commercial banks.
