This visit came at a pivotal time as DIV has been focusing its resources to conduct researches on detailed provisions of the draft amended Law on Deposit Insurance as a proposal to the State Bank of Vietnam. Once finalized, they will be submitted to the Government and subsequently the National Assembly for approval. The study trip provided a valuable opportunity for DIV and the accompanying authorities to learn from KDIC's good practices, particularly in terms of responsibilities that may be assigned to DIV in the future.
