Credit has played a crucial role in driving Vietnam's economic growth for many years. However, as the credit-to-GDP ratio has become one of the highest in the region and the need for macroeconomic stability has grown, the issue is no longer how much credit can be expanded, but where the economy will find new growth drivers. Recent policy signals suggest that the focus of management may be shifting gradually from credit to public investment, infrastructure, and other long-term capital sources.
