Three capital milestones in 2026

For the first half of 2026, SeABank reported consolidated pretax profit of VND 2.625 trillion against a full-year target of VND 7.068 trillion. Total assets reached VND 427.108 trillion at the end of June, up nearly 8 percent from the end of 2025, according to Kinh te Chung khoan.
