The result was partly thanks to the bank's core business line of lending with revenue of VND13 trillion (US$567.9 million), up 19% year-on-year.

As of June 30, Vietcombank's total assets were valued at VND977.6 trillion (US$42.7 billion), down 5.6% compared to the beginning of the year, mainly due to the bank's reduction in deposits at the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) and other credit institutions.
