The 50-year journey of construction and development
From August 28 to September 5, 2025, the Ministry of Finance will organize an exhibition booth with the theme "80 years of the Vietnamese financial industry - Creating and Developing" at the National Exhibition Center (Dong Anh commune, Hanoi). This is an outstanding activity within the framework of the Exhibition "National Achievements" celebrating the 80th anniversary of National Day (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025).
The 680m2 exhibition space at H8 Kim Quy House introduces thousands of valuable documents, images, and artifacts, reflecting the formation and development of the Finance sector. The exhibition booth is designed to combine tradition and modernity, affirming the role and contribution of the industry to the cause of fighting for independence, unity, innovation and international integration.
Immediately after the August Revolution, the Ministry of Finance has advised many timely policies such as the Independence Fund, Golden Week, and issuing "Uncle Ho" silver papers to mobilize financial resources for the revolutionary government. Fairer tax policies such as abolishing personal tax, exempting land rent, and card taxes have also been issued, contributing to reducing the burden on the people.
In the resistance war against France and the US, the Finance sector has mobilized maximum human and material resources, ensuring financial resources to serve the frontline. From the Northern rear to the Southern battlefield, the team of financial officers contributed significantly to the historic victory of Dien Bien Phu in 1954 and the Great Spring Victory of 1975, national reunification.
The renovation period from 1986 marked a major change. The Finance sector has become an important macro-management tool, mobilizing and allocating resources for socio-economic development, poverty reduction, inflation control, and national financial stability. International cooperation has been expanded, and Vietnam's position in the global financial arena has been increasingly enhanced.
Space of "Creating development" and the mark of innovation
The exhibition is arranged in the topics: "Pride of Vietnamese Finance", "In intellect - Courage" and "Vietnamese Finance: Creativity and Development". The exhibition areas introduce the development stages of the Finance industry, the Planning and Investment industry and important breakthroughs in the integration period.
In particular, the "Financial industry firmly enters a new era" area provides a system of spreadsheets, macroeconomic and budget statistics, helping the public to visualize more clearly the process of researching, developing development strategies, and effectively managing national financial resources. After nearly 40 years of renovation, the scale of Vietnam's economy has increased from more than 5 billion USD in 1986 to over 476 billion USD in 2024, becoming the 4th largest economy in Southeast Asia and 34th in the world.
The community financial interaction and education experience space is a new highlight, where people can directly use digital financial applications, from budget disclosure, budget reporting for citizens to the experience of creating electronic invoices from cash registers. This is a testament to the strong progress in digital transformation of the Finance industry.
The pillar role and companionship of businesses
In addition to the main exhibition booth, in the H2 area, there are 16 booths of corporations and corporations with the Ministry of Finance as the owner. These include key units such as Vietnam Electricity Group, Vietnam National Petroleum Group, Bao Viet Group, Vietnam Airlines Corporation, Vietnam Airports Corporation, Vietnam Expressway Corporation...
The booths demonstrate the strategic role of state-owned enterprises in key economic sectors, contributing to macroeconomic stability, promoting sustainable growth, and at the same time demonstrating the close relationship between public financial management and national business development.
The exhibition "80 years of the Vietnamese Finance sector - Creating and Developing" is not only an opportunity to look back on the past, but also conveys the message of a modern, innovative and integrated Finance sector, continuing to affirm its pillar role in the cause of building and defending the Fatherland.
