Bad debts
landscape at small banks
There has been great variations in
small-scale banks’ bad debts performance in the first half of the year, with
some showing great improvements, while others struggle to cope.
While NamA Bank thrived, Saigon
Bank's bad debts are now double the ceiling set by the state
The total bad debt volume of Ho Chi Minh City-based
NamA Bank fell to VND391 billion ($17.3 million) by the end of June 2018,
taking a 44.7 per cent plunge compared to the VND708 billion ($31.3 million)
earlier this year, according to the bank’s financial statement.
Similarly, its bad debt ratio slid to 0.95 per cent
from 1.95 per cent early this year.
Falling bad debts led to a sharp rise in the bank’s
first half pre-tax profit, which touched VND335 billion ($14.8 million),
three times as much as in the corresponding period of 2017.
NamA Bank is also the first bank reaching its full-year
profit target, which was set at VND320 billion ($14.2 million).
By the end of June 2018, the total bad debts volume at
BacA Bank amounted to VND436 billion ($19.3 million), making up 0.73 per cent
of the bank’s total outstanding loan balance.
Its provisioning costs in the first six months shed 15
per cent on-year to VND210 billion ($9.3 million), leading to a 47 per cent
jump in the bank’s total consolidated pre-tax profit which surpassed VND434
billion ($19.2 million), equal 47 per cent of the full-year target.
Also during the period, privately-held Kien Long Bank
succeeded in tackling nearly VND150 billion of bad debts it had earlier sold
to state-owned Vietnam Asset Management Company (VAMC). The bank had then
posted VND121 billion ($5.4 million) in pre-tax profit, fulfilling 30 per
cent of the year’s plan.
Apart from banks that saw positive developments in
their bad debts, several other banks reported a worsening situation.
Bad debt volumes at VietBank rose sharply from VND387
billion ($17.1 million) early this year to VND547 billion ($24.2 million) by
the end of June 2018. Its bad debt ratio rose from 1.35 to 1.73 per cent
during the period.
A typical case of sharply rising bad debts among banks
of modest size was Saigon Bank whose bad debts ratio surpassed 6 per cent at
the end of June 2018, while the limit set by the state is 3 per cent.
Similarly, PG Bank saw a 12.9 per cent jump in its bad
debts volume in the first half, which touched VND780 billion ($34.5 million)
as of June 30, 2018.
Its bad debt ratio then inched up from 3.23 per cent
earlier this year to 3.75 per cent by the end of the second quarter. PG Bank
is in the process of merging with Ho Chi Minh City’s major commercial lender
HD Bank in a deal which is expected to be wrapped up this year.

Since its establishment in October 2013 to the end of
2017, VAMC, dubbed as Vietnam’s bad debt bank, succeeded in recouping about
VND81.5 trillion ($3.6 billion) of bad debts out of the VND307.9 trillion
($13.6 billion) total principal bad debt volume.
During the period, VAMC bought 26,221 debts of 16,269
customers of credit institutions.

pre-tax profit which surpassed VND434 billion ($19.2 million), equal 47 per
cent of the full-year target.
