### Summary and Key Findings
- The framework for policy lending in Vietnam, combined with active consideration of proposals to enhance the operational autonomy of policy-lending institutions, poses significant risks.
- The current framework does not adequately address common governance issues related to state involvement in investment decisions.
- The current framework is insufficient to ensure the quality of investment.

### Policy Recommendations
- Remove residual policy lending from commercial banks.
- Improve prudential regulations and supervision of the Development Assistance Fund and local development funds well before they are granted any significant autonomy.
