It is surprising that Agribank comes out third when it gained VND 15,080 billion, up nearly 60% over the same period. However, along with profit growth, the bank's bad debt balance also increased sharply to nearly VND 30,000 billion. MB also grew by nearly one and a half times over the same period with profit before tax in the first 6 months reaching VND 11,896 billion.

SHB is the bank with the most rapid profit growth rate in the top 10 with an increase of 83.5% to VND 5,848 billion due to the decrease in provision expenses and the increase in profit from business activities (which is 26 times higher compared to the same period last year).
Among the 28 banks, Eximbank is the bank with the best growth rate with an increase of 243.1%, reaching VND 1,903 billion, due to the outstanding growth in profits from the bank's business activities.
