OCB will appoint Mr. Le Xuan Nghia as an independent director for the 2025–2030 term, according to the candidate list approved by the State Bank of Vietnam.
Mr. Le Xuan Nghia, born in 1952, is an economist and holds a PhD from Merseburg University. He previously served as Vice Chairman of the National Financial Supervisory Committee and as Director of the Business Development Research Institute.

The pretax profit target for 2026 is VND 6.960 trillion, up 39% from 2025.

OCB said the additional capital is expected to support growth and enhance the bank’s competitiveness, enabling expansion of its branch network. The bank also plans to continue investing in technology to modernize operations, support new product development, and improve customer experience, while pushing lending and capital activities more efficiently.
