ACB organizes the "Agricultural and Fisheries Industry Conference: Solutions in the Face of Volatility"

(Dan Tri Newspaper) - ACB recently organized the "Agricultural and Fisheries Industry Conference: Solutions in the Face of Change" in Can Tho, bringing together leading experts and the business community in the Mekong Delta.

Based on the macroeconomic context, market trends, and tariff policies,ACB has introduced specialized financial solutions to support agricultural and aquatic product businesses in strengthening their financial foundations, enabling them to confidently seize opportunities and bring Vietnamese-branded products to the international market.

The conference also affirmed ACB's long-term strategy of developing specialized financial solutions through its strength in deep understanding the specific characteristics of different industries.

The conference, organized by ACB, aimed to connect experts and businesses in the industry.

From a macroeconomic perspective

According to economist Nguyen Xuan Thanh, a senior lecturer on public policy at Fulbright University Vietnam, Vietnam's economy is projected to grow by approximately 8% in 2025, but these positive indicators do not fully reflect the actual difficulties that businesses are facing.

Entering 2026, the high growth target presents many challenges, in which the way macroeconomic policies are managed will directly impact businesses' access to capital and financing costs. Public investment continues to be an important driver of growth, but at the same time puts pressure on credit and interest rates.

“The coming period will not be an easy time for growth. Businesses need to prepare for a prolonged volatile environment, with pressure on capital, interest rates, exchange rates, and competition. Enhancing financial capacity, risk management, and adaptability will be just as important, if not more important, than short-term growth rate,” Mr. Thanh emphasized.

Economist Nguyen Xuan Thanh shared his views at the conference.

In addition, the legal environment is also changing rapidly. Ms. Dang Mai Kim Ngan – Deputy General Director of Deloitte Vietnam – believes that the period 2025–2026 will witness many important adjustments to value-added tax, corporate income tax, and the global minimum tax rate, directly impacting business operations, especially in the agricultural and export sectors.

In this context, businesses need to proactively develop tax risk management strategies and frameworks, integrated with corporate governance and technology applications, to enhance their adaptability and achieve sustainable development.

Understanding the challenges businesses are facing, ACB organized this conference to support businesses in finding optimal financial solutions. Speaking at the event, Mr. Ngo Tan Long – Deputy General Director of ACB – said that inviting leading economic experts to the conference to analyze and share trends helps businesses find optimal solutions regarding capital, costs, and effective financial management methods, contributing to stable and sustainable development.

"A strong financial foundation is one of the key factors in strengthening a business's internal capacity and increasing its competitiveness in the market," Mr. Long said.
