As a result, Sacombank’s pre-tax profit in the first nine months of  二0 二 二 reached VNĐ 四. 四 四 trillion, completing  八 四. 一 per cent of the yearly plan, and its mobilisation and lending scale both grew positively.

The total bad debts and outstanding assets recovered and handled by Sacombank were more than VNĐ 一 四. 七 trillion, helping the bank significantly reduce financial pressure. Therefore, Sacombank’s accumulated net interest income in the first three quarters of  二0 二 二 increased by  一 七. 三 per cent. The bank’s service income also grew by  八 二. 三 per cent from the segment of insurance distribution, while the foreign exchange trading also rose by  四 四. 六 per cent year-on-year.
