After regression analysis on a set of panel data from 2013 to 2018 of tweenty-four selected PCFs in Vietnam, it appears that deposit, credit growth rate and financial sustainability have positive relationships with productivity; depth of outreach has a negative relationship with productivity. Productivity, capital adequacy ratio, income have positive relationships with financial sustainability; credit growth rate has a negative impact on financial sustainability. The study finds bidirectional interactions and the causal relationship between productivity and financial sustainability. Based on the findings the study proposes policy measures that could be implemented by the managers of PCFs to increase productivity and ensure a more efficient distribution of economic resources.
