It has been the 3rd NRS hosted by the Malaysia Deposit Insurance Corporation (PIDM) since 2023. This Symposium is a high-level forum focused on bank resolution, attracting almost 500 participants from central banks, monetary authorities, finance ministries, deposit insurers of ASEAN+3 members, international and regional organizations, major banking and insurance corporations in Malaysia, and international experts on resolution and crisis management. The DIV’s delegates, including Mrs. Pham Bao Khanh – Executive Member of the Board of Directors as the Head of the delegation, Mrs. Hoang Thi Anh Ngoc – Director of Participation in Special Control and Asset Recovery Department, and Ms. Nguyen Thi Quynh Lien – Deputy Director of Supervision, proactively attended the symposium’s activities.
This year's NRS featured two main components: sharing experiences and insights on bank resolution, and an exhibition showcasing the deposit insurance system and bank resolution regimes in ASEAN member countries. Key topics discussed at the Symposium included: i) the evolving context of the global economy and financial system in today’s highly-connected era in the ASEAN region and the world; ii) resolution planning in the era of deregulation; iii) the sale of banks under normal operations or under resolution; iv) consequences of bank failures in an increasingly interconnected world; v) opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence in the financial sector; and vi) core principles in crisis management. Its delegates had the opportunity to experience and gain a deeper understanding of these concepts through panel discussions, masterclasses, and immersive simulations, allowing them to experience the real pressure of making decisions about crisis management in real-time.

The DIV’s delegates, along with other international delegates, attend the 2025 NRS.
In addition, the DIV delegates attended the ASEAN Deposit Insurers and Resolution Authorities Roundtable titled "Regional Interconnectedness, Deposit Protection and Resolution - Strong Together", at the invitation of the host. Participating in the roundtable were representatives of central banks and deposit insurers of Southeast Asian countries. The discussions centered on the roles and challenges faced by deposit insurers; the preparation, management, and resolution of bank failures; as well as handling potential future crises. Mrs. Pham Bao Khanh, representing the DIV, shared insights about the DIV’s new roles and responsibilities stipulated in the Law on Credit Institutions 2024, thereby enhancing the DIV’s contributions to the restructuring of the credit institution system in Vietnam.
