Although, the global economy is dealing with the risk of a trade war, Nguyen Le Quoc Anh, CEO of Techcombank is very confident that the bank will achieve the profit target set for the entire year, especially with pre-tax profit of nearly $224 million in the first half of this year - equivalent to 52 per cent of the profit target for the whole year.
Quoc Anh also said that for many years, Techcombank still maintains a diversified structure of operating revenues.
In particular, the bank does not focus too much on lending and fee-based income, and always has a contingency plan to deal with potential economic crisis in the future. As a result, the business results of the bank are still in line with their plan and even higher than expected.
