During the discussion session, Mr. Ha Huy Cuong highlighted the critical role of financial institutions in building an ecosystem that supports sustainable growth, fosters innovation, and enhances the competitiveness of the economy. In this context, financial institutions not only provide capital but also serve as vital connectors between businesses, investors, international markets, and strategic partners, thereby creating momentum for the transformation of growth models.
The representative of Nam A Bank also shared practical experience in developing international cooperation programs, focusing on priority areas such as trade finance, financing for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), green finance, and support for women-owned businesses. Through its continuously expanding partnership network, the bank has contributed to connecting Vietnamese enterprises with international financial resources, promoting sustainable business models, and creating long-term economic value.
The presentation also underscored the importance of developing a modern, secure, and highly adaptive financial ecosystem. Such an ecosystem will support Ho Chi Minh City in advancing its key economic sectors, strengthening international integration, and achieving its growth objectives in the new development phase.
