Agribank’s outlook changed to positive from stable by Moody’s Ratings

07/05/2026

On May 5, 2026, Moody's Ratings announced that it had changed Agribank’s outlook to positive from stable, while affirming Agribank’s Ba2 long-term deposit ratings and b1 Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA).

According to Moody’s Ratings, the outlook change reflects its positive assessment of Vietnam’s macroeconomic environment and sovereign credit profile, following Moody’s Ratings’ change in Vietnam’s sovereign rating outlook to positive from stable on May 4, 2026. Moody’s Ratings noted that Vietnam’s economic competitiveness continues to improve through accelerating digitalization, infrastructure investments, workforce upskilling and capital market development.

For Agribank, Moody’s Ratings highlighted the bank’s stable funding profile supported by its large and diversified customer base, stable asset quality and positive operating performance. According to Moody’s Ratings, Agribank’s strong funding is one of the bank’s key credit strengths. Moody’s Ratings also stated that if Vietnam’s sovereign rating is upgraded in the future, Agribank’s ratings could be upgraded accordingly, based on the very high probability of government support for Agribank.

The change in Agribank’s outlook to positive from stable continues to affirm the bank’s reputation, market position and financial strength in both domestic and international markets, while reflecting the effectiveness of its safe and sustainable development strategy associated with its role as a leading state-owned commercial bank investing in agriculture, rural development and promoting socio-economic development.

The year 2025 marked an outstanding year for Agribank as the bank fulfilled and exceeded the business and financial targets assigned by the State Bank of Vietnam, continuing to affirm its role as a key financial pillar of the economy and a leading bank in financing agriculture and rural development. As of December 31, 2025, Agribank’s total assets reached nearly USD 103 billion; total funding reached nearly USD 88 billion; and outstanding loans to the economy exceeded USD 75 billion, of which more than 64% was allocated to the agriculture and rural sector.

In the first four months of 2026, Agribank continued to maintain stable growth in funding and lending activities, prioritizing capital for production and business sectors, particularly agriculture, rural development and other priority sectors in line with the policies of the Government and the State Bank of Vietnam. Alongside its business activities, Agribank continued to accelerate digital transformation, develop modern banking products and services, expand cashless payment solutions and enhance customer experience. Agribank also strengthened corporate governance and risk management in accordance with international standards, promoted green credit and financial inclusion, and implemented various social security programs nationwide. With its extensive network and large customer base, Agribank continues to play an important role in providing capital to the economy and contributing to sustainable socio-economic development.
