On May 27, in Hanoi, the State Bank of Vietnam held a conference to launch the movement "The whole country competes in innovation and digital transformation" and "Digital literacy for the masses" of the banking sector in conjunction with Resolution No.57-NQ/TW of the Politburo.
Overview of the conference
The conference was presided by Governor of the State Bank Nguyen Thi Hong with the entire State Bank Board of Directors, leaders of State Bank units, credit institutions, and etc.
Speaking at the opening of the Conference, Deputy Governor of the State Bank Pham Tien Dung affirmed that this is a very important activity in implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on science, technology development, innovation and national digital transformation.
According to a report by the World Bank (WB), by 2024, the digital economy will account for 15% of the global GDP, equivalent to 16,000 billion USD. Many countries have identified the digital economy as a core component of their national strategies.
In the context of the world facing unpredictable fluctuations, such as trade wars, the rise of protectionism, epidemics, economic crises, energy security and climate change, scientific and technological development, innovation and digital transformation are no longer options, but vital requirements to adapt, survive and thrive.
Realizing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo, implementing Decision No. 923/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister and Plan No. 01-KH/BCĐTW of the Central Steering Committee on Science and Technology Development, Innovation and Digital Transformation, the State Bank launched two emulation movements "The whole country competes in innovation and digital transformation" and the movement "Digital literacy for the masses" in the entire banking sector.
At the Conference, the presentations focused on the contents related to the implementation of tasks in the "Digital Literacy for All" movement. Accordingly, representatives of credit institutions shared many typical models and initiatives applying digital technology that can be replicated; shared experiences, the journey of spreading and building a digital culture, a culture of innovation and a culture of lifelong learning; shared experiences and solutions to improve digital capacity for human resources in the banking industry.
Governor of the State Bank Nguyen Thi Hong emphasized that, thoroughly grasping the content and spirit of Resolution No. 57 and the direction of the Government and the Prime Minister, with the spirit of "strong, drastic, synchronous and consistent innovation", on March 5, 2025, the State Bank issued Decision No. 1364 on the Banking Industry's Plan to implement Resolution No.57 and Resolution No. 03 of the Government.
