In the first six months of this year, eight listed banks on the stock
market have deposited total 285.267 trillion dong at other credit institutions,
rising 25.7 percent over the same period last year. The mutual deposits were
prohibited from September 1.
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV)’s
Circular No 21, effective from September 1, stipulated that banks are only
allowed to lend and borrow from each other and disallowed to deposit and
receive deposits from each other unless that amount of money is to serve the
payment purpose.
Before the circular takes effect,
the mutual deposit activities amongst banks were still very animated.
According to the revised
semi-annual consolidated fiscal statement in 2012 of eight listed banks on both
two bourses namely Hochiminh Stock Exchange (HoSE) and Hanoi Stock Exchange
(HNX), the total deposits of these eight banks at other credit institutions
were 285.267 trillion dong, down 18.5 percent from December 31, 2011 but rising

usual, was much lower than the deposits but still increased over eight times
year-on-year, to reach more than 44.173 trillion dong. In comparison with the
end of last year, the total outstanding loans increased 11%.
Meanwhile, the deposit and
lending of customers (not banks) of these eight listed banks reached 954.319
trillion dong and 869.045 trillion dong, rising 25 percent and 8.5 percent from
early this year respectively. In comparison with the same period last year, the
total deposits of these eight listed banks from the economy increased 25
percent and lending to the economy increased 18%.
In their portfolio of lending to
other credit institutions, Vietnam Commercial Joint Stock Bank for Foreign
Trade (Vietcombank-VCB) topped the list when disbursing an amount of up to
35.914 trillion dong, rising nearly 8.2 percent from December 31, 2011. As of
June 30, 2011, Vietcombank’s total disbursement reached only 1.916 trillion
dong, about 18 times lower than the bank’s amount of lending.
Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank
(ACB) also lent other credit institutions totalling 1.285 trillion dong as of
December 31, 2011 but till June 30, 2012, the figure was 312 billion dong.
Meanwhile, Saigon-Hanoi
Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SHB) and Nam Viet Joint Stock Co (coded NVB) did
not lend to other credit institutions, according to the released fiscal
statements.
At the deposits at other credit
institutions, Vietcombank also took the leading place with 70.586 trillion
dong, down 1.7 percent from December 31, 2011.
Standing at the second place was
Vietnam Commercial Joint Stock Bank of Industry and Trade (VietinBank-CTG) with
nearly 62 trillion dong.
According to the fiscal report,
ACB posted a deposit of nearly 56 trillion dong at other credit institutions
while at the end of last year, this lender ranked at the first place with
nearly 80 trillion dong.
Although lending other credit
institutions with a little amount, in the deposits of other credit
institutions, Vietnam Export Import Commercial JS Bank (Eximbank-EIB) received
the biggest volume of deposits from other credit institutions in the first half
of this year with nearly 62 trillion dong. The amount of deposits of other
credit institutions at Eximbank increased 50 percent from the same period last
year and decreased nearly 6 percent from December 31, 2011.
Conversely, in H1/2012,
VietinBank saw the biggest fall in volume of deposits from other credit
institutions (by 55%). Meanwhile, if calculating according to percentage,
NaviBank posted the strongest movement in terms of deposit balance from other
credit institutions.
Particularly, the deposits of
other credit institutions at Navibank decreased six times within six months
(from June 30, 2011 to Decembe 31, 2011), from 4.265 trillion dong to 703
billion dong and continued to increase more 4.1 times after the first six
months of this year.
Together with deposits,
Vietcombank also borrowed from other credit institutions with the biggest
volume. Conversely, NaviBank and SHB continued not to appear in the borrowing
item from other credit institutions, according to the revised semi-annual
consolidated fiscal statement in 2012.
