This is the second time in less than three years that Loc has left the top executive role, following his resignation as CEO in October 2023.

Loc’s career at Eximbank spans over three decades. He joined in 1994 and rose through the ranks, becoming Permanent Deputy CEO in 2007.

Market Context

EIB closed at 17,800 VND on July 31, 2026, on the HOSE. The resignation comes amid a period of management reshuffling at Eximbank, including the recent appointment of a new chairman and the resignation of the head of the control board. Leadership instability has been a recurring theme for the bank, which has seen multiple CEO changes over the past decade. The stock’s valuation reflects investor caution, with the bank trading at a discount to many peers in the Vietnamese banking sector.

Strategic Significance

For long-term investors, the repeated turnover in the CEO position highlights governance challenges at Eximbank. The bank has struggled to maintain consistent strategic direction, which may hinder its ability to execute on digital transformation and growth initiatives. The departure of a veteran leader like Loc, who has deep institutional knowledge, could further delay decision-making and affect employee morale. Investors should monitor whether the board can quickly appoint a permanent CEO and whether the new leadership can stabilize the bank’s operations and improve its competitive position.

What to Watch

  • The board’s official acceptance of the resignation and appointment of an interim or permanent CEO.
  • Any additional management changes, particularly in key positions such as CFO or chief risk officer.
  • Eximbank’s Q3 2026 earnings report, due in October, to assess operational impact.
  • Any strategic announcements from the new chairman regarding the bank’s direction.
  • Regulatory filings or shareholder meetings that may address governance reforms.
