Decision 1922/QD-TTg, dated October 4, 2026, revises ministerial responsibilities under Vietnam’s retail-market development strategy to 2030, with a vision to 2050, the government news portal reported. The Finance Ministry is assigned to coordinate investment-credit support through the Vietnam Development Bank to help small and medium-sized firms develop retail infrastructure under existing rules. The State Bank is tasked with reviewing and improving credit-access policies. The decision took effect on October 4. Assigning these responsibilities does not mean individual loan applications have already been approved or funds disbursed.
