For the year 2023, VNDirect recorded operating revenue of VNĐ6.56 trillion, representing a 6 per cent decrease compared to 2022. However, pre-tax profit showed a significant increase of 44 per cent compared to the previous year to reach VNĐ2.48 trillion. Net profit reached VNĐ2 trillion, marking a 48 per cent increase compared to 2022. — VNS
