Vietnam - Rumours on Sacombank baseless: SBV



The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) affirmed on its website that until now, Sacombank is still operating normally. The central bank said to urgently clarify the sources of baseless information related to this bank to take appropriate treatment measures.

Recently, some articles relating to the organization and operation of Sacombank such as "Sacombank, ACB, and Eximbank will be one family", "Capturing Sacombank - rumours and reality" and others surfaced, which were  totally baseless, said SBV on its website on February 22.

In the current commercial joint stock banking system of Vietnam, Sacombank is one of the banks that have largest assets scale and network.

According to the monitoring data of the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV), at present, Sacombank has a healthy financial situation, operating stability, efficiency and full compliance with the safety ratio in the banking operations under the provisions of SBV; outlook for the ratings of international credit rating agencies such as Moody's and S&P to Sacombank is "stable".

As a special business, the operations of not only Sacombank in particular, but also credit institution in general are subject to the provisions of the Enterprise Law and the Law on Credit Institutions.

The shares owned by shareholders, the election of management board, and supervisory board or the reorganization of a bank was also legalised clearly. Therefore, the investors when making investments or participate in the governance of joint-stock commercial banks must also comply with these regulations.

The central bank as a state management agency for Sacombank re-affirmed: “Until now, Sacombank is still operating normally. The central bank is urgently denying the sources of incorrect information recently about this bank and seeks to take appropriate remedial measures”.
