The bank's pre-tax profit surged by 32.5% year-on-year to over 1.62 trillion VND, with a Return on Equity (ROE) exceeding 21%, placing it among the top banks in the market.

Furthermore, Nam A Bank is actively pursuing international partnerships to bolster its capital base and promote inclusive finance. Recent collaborations with BlueOrchard and the International Finance Corporation (IFC), including a potential 50 million USD trade finance package, highlight the bank's ambition to mobilize sustainable and green finance for Vietnamese SMEs. These initiatives mark a strategic step towards internationalization and reinforce the bank's role in supporting Vietnam's economic development.
