The State Bank of Vietnam Region 6, in coordination with the Foreign Exchange Management Department, held a conference aimed at strengthening links between banks and businesses.

More than 400 representatives from enterprises and credit institutions in Hai Phong and Quang Ninh attended the event.
The conference focused on introducing key provisions of Circular No. 80/2025/TT-NHNN, dated Dec. 31, 2025, which amends several provisions of Circular No. 12/2022/TT-NHNN on foreign exchange management governing external borrowing and debt repayment by enterprises.

Participants were also given detailed guidance on the operation of a new online portal for managing overseas borrowing and debt repayment by enterprises without government guarantees.
Speaking at the conference, Dao Xuan Tuan, Director General of the Foreign Exchange Management Department, said improving the legal framework and upgrading digital infrastructure were important steps toward simplifying administrative procedures, enhancing transparency and shortening processing times for businesses.

The measures would help ensure that foreign loan capital serving production and business activities could flow smoothly and in compliance with regulations, he said.
A highlight of the event was a direct dialogue session between authorities and businesses. Major foreign-invested enterprises, including Doosan Electro-Materials Vietnam Co., Ltd., OHM Electronics Vietnam Co., Ltd., G.Tech Technology Vietnam Co., Ltd., Castem Vietnam Co., Ltd. and Yunjia Decorative Materials Vietnam Co., Ltd., raised issues encountered during procedures related to overseas borrowing and debt repayment.

Representatives of the Foreign Exchange Management Department and State Bank of Vietnam Region 6 provided direct responses and guidance on specific cases, while also noting proposals for further improvements to the software system and studying the development of an online question-and-answer database to support businesses.
Nguyen Thi Dung, Director of State Bank of Vietnam Region 6, said the regional banking sector would continue to support businesses, proactively identify difficulties and provide timely solutions.
She added that efforts would be stepped up to disseminate regulations on monetary and foreign exchange management, helping create a favorable environment for business activities and promoting sustainable socio-economic development in the region.
