This figure represents an increase of over 5.4 trillion VND, or about 13% compared to 2023, and 1.5 times that of 2022. Notably, 14 banks contributed more than 1 trillion VND each to the state budget, two more than the previous year.

The leading ones include Techcombank with over 6.77 trillion VND, HDBank over 6 trillion VND, VPBank 5.8 trillion VND, and ACB 5.5 trillion VND, which have consistently maintained high contributions for many consecutive years.

The next positions are Sacombank, LPBank, VIB, SHB, and TPBank, each contributing over 2 trillion VND.

In addition, Agribank - a state-owned commercial bank - stood out with a contribution of nearly 9.18 trillion VND, up 77% from 2023. It is expected to surpass 10 trillion VND in 2025, reaffirming its key role in the financial sector while supporting socio-economic development, particularly in areas of agriculture and rural development.

In 2024, the banking sector recorded a combined profit of nearly 170 trillion VND from the top 20 banks, up 27% year-on-year, driven by flexible monetary policies and strong credit demand.

Looking ahead to 2025, the sector’s outlook remains positive as the Government targets economic growth of over 8%./.VNA
