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.
Meanwhile, net revenues from services reached VND1.73 trillion (US$75.57 million), up 32% year-on-year, while trading of foreign currencies brought VND1 trillion (US$43.68 million), down 2.3%.

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.
The lender's current outstanding loans stood at VND606 trillion (US$26.47 billion), up 11.5% against the beginning of the year. Of which, bad debts reached VND6.9 trillion (US$301.4 million), equivalent to a bad debt ratio of 1.15%, among the lowest in the banking system.
