The event is jointly organised by the Association of Vietnamese Scientists and Experts (AVSE Global), the Banking Academy of Vietnam, and the International Society for the Advancement of Financial Economics (ISAFE) in partnership with the IPAG Business School and the South Champagne Business School.

The symposium is aimed at providing academics, doctoral students, and practitioners with a forum for presenting their research findings and discussing current and challenging issues in banking, finance, money and financial macroeconomics.

The event is also considered an opportunity for Vietnamese scholars to exchange research experiences and develop research projects with their international colleagues.

Experts at the symposium shared the opinion that the fourth Industrial Revolution generates both opportunities and challenges as technological advancements have changed the structure and operational methods of banking and financial services.

According to Vice Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam Nguyen Kim Anh, entities in the banking and financial sector need to improve their capacity and actively participate in the 4th Industrial Revolution, thus helping to narrow the development gap between the Vietnamese banking sector and the world.
