Banking exhibition to enhance banks’ competitiveness

The 8 th ‘Banking Vietnam’ exhibition and conference will be held in Hanoi from May 21-23 and Ho Chi Minh City at a later date, announced the organising board in Hanoi on May 7.

As the sector faces a time of strong growth and fierce competition, Banking Vietnam 2008 will focus on enhancing competitive capacity for banks through application of latest informatics technologies in banking management and customer services.

The four main agenda items at the international seminar will be banking security, core banking and banking business administration, risk management and IT application in payment activities.

These are pressing matters for Vietnamese banks to increase their competitive advantages and run business profitably, said Head of the Informatics Technology Department of the State Bank of Vietnam Ta Quang Tien.

A document of sponsorship was signed between the Banking Vietnam Organising Board and two major sponsors, IBM and the Bang Huu Technology Joint Stock Company (Amigo-Technologies) at the press conference.

Banking Vietnam has been organised annually by the State Bank of Vietnam and the International Digital Group (IDG) since 2002.
