The same trend was also seen in TPBank and LienVietPostBank, which posted pre-tax profits of VND483 billion and VND900 billion, equal to 62% and 60% of their 2017 targets, respectively.
As per a recent survey on business trends of credit institutions, conducted by the State Bank of Vietnam’s Statistics Department, 64% of the credit institutions affirmed that business conditions in Q2 of 2017 noticeably improved compared to Q1.
Eighty-two percent of the credit institutions surveyed are optimistic that business conditions in 2017 will continue to improve and strengthen, as compared to 2016, the survey revealed.
