In an attempt to actively adapt to the developments of the pandemic, from the beginning of 2021, the DIV’s examination units actively made preparations for the examination such as: doing in-depth research of documents related to the examination of insured institutions; conducting surveys, and developing detailed examination plans; contacting the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) branches in provinces/cities as well as insured institutions to reach agreement on the examination period to carry out the plan whenever the pandemic was under control in localities.
