Vietnam - SBV requests five banks to lower lending interest rates

The State Bank of Vietnam Governor on March 22 signed Document No 1656/NHNN-TCKT to request state commercial banks and state-controlled joint stock banks including Agribank, Vietinbank, Vietcombank, BIDV and MHB to cut costs, lower lending rates and increase the business efficiency.

Under it, the banks were ordered to implement effectively the dissemination and launching of the efficiency improvement campaign, cost saving and a reduction in lending interest rates in their network, which is considered as the major task of banking business management in 2012.

Based on these, banks must define solutions and levels of cost cuts to reach the target of saving 5-10% of general cost and register specific measures to the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance before April 10, 2012.

Also, banks will have to report these targets to the SBV and the finance ministry by the year end.
