The first half of 2024 marked the start of a new growth cycle for Vietnam’s consumer finance sector, with Banks and FinCos adapting to evolving market dynamics and regulatory requirements.
While the broader macroeconomic environment is improving, recovery in spending power among low- and middle-income consumers—FinCos' key target segment—has been slower. These groups have been more vulnerable to economic shocks, rising living costs, accumulated debt, and stricter lending standards, leading to modest credit expansion and profits amid concerns over asset quality among FinCos.
As the business environment continues to stabilize, the second half of 2024 is expected to bring further opportunities, particularly in labor-intensive sectors like manufacturing and services. However, challenges such as rising competition, higher delinquency rates, and the impact of Typhoon Yagi on certain regions may affect the speed and sustainability of recovery for both Banks and FinCos.
