Circular 77/2025/TT-NHNN: Strengthening security requirements for banking services
Vietnam: On 31 December 2025, the Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam (“SBV”) issued Circular No. 77/2025/TT-NHNN (“Circular 77/2025”), amending and supplementing a number of provisions of Circular No. 50/2024/TT-NHNN on security and safety requirements for online services in the banking sector.

Tightening sanctions for violations of economic concentration regulations
Vietnam: According to the latest Report on Economic Concentration Control issued by the Vietnam Competition Commission (“VCC”), Vietnam’s M&A market has recorded a clear recovery. Against the backdrop of a dynamic market and increasingly diverse forms of economic concentration, the new provisions under Decree No. 102/2026/ND-CP dated 31 March 2026 (“Decree 102/2026”), which amends and supplements several articles of Decree No. 75/2019/ND-CP on administrative sanctions in the field of competition (“Decree 75/2019”), demonstrate a clear trend: increasing sanction levels and tightening compliance obligations for economic concentration. Decree 102/2026 will take effect on 20 May 2026.
Updates on regulations regarding reissuance of bank licenses and supplementation of operational contents to bank licenses under Circular 66/2025/TT-NHNN
Vietnam: On 31 December 2025, the State Bank of Vietnam (the “SBV”) issued Circular 66/2025/TT-NHNN to amend and supplement several provisions of Circular 34/2024/TT-NHNN concerning the reissuance of bank licenses and the supplementation of operational contents to bank licenses. These amendments are not merely technical adjustments to align with the SBV’s new organizational structure, but also clearly reflect a reform trend in three main directions: (i) reallocation of regulatory authority; (ii) shortening of administrative processing time; and (iii) gradual digitalization of licensing procedures. These changes are expected to improve administrative efficiency while creating more favorable conditions for credit institutions to expand their operations.
