Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has asked the Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (VietinBank) to boost its transparency, financial potential and management capacity in line with international standards.

The High-level People’s Court in Ho Chi Minh City on May 28 opened a trial to review the case in which Huynh Thi Huyen Nhu, an ex-official of Vietinbank, and her accomplice were charged with swindling to appropriate 1.085 trillion VND (43.8 million USD) of five companies.

Seventeen Vietnamese banks were listed among the 500 strongest banks in the Asia Pacific region.
