Hanoi (VNA) - The State Bank of Vietnam(SBV) needed to speed up the settlement of non-performing loans (NPLs) to bringdown the bad debt ratio of the entire banking system, including both NPLs ownedby credit institutions and the Vietnam Asset Management Company (VAMC), tobelow 3 percent by 2020.  

Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue made therequest at a conference held by the SBV in Hanoi on August 28 to review theimplementation of the National Assembly’s Resolution 42/2017/QH and the PrimeMinister’s Decision No 1058/QD-TTg on the structure of credit institutions(CIs) system associated with dealing with bad debts in the 2016-20 period.

The NPL ratio at credit institutions must bereduced to a safe level according to international rules, Hue stressed.

Nguyen Van Du, the SBV’s deputy chief inspector,said that after a year of implementing the regulations, the financial status ofCIs had been strengthened. The charter capital of CIs by the end of June thisyear was estimated at 519 trillion VND (22.3 billion USD), up 1.3 percentcompared to the end of 2017. The equity capital of CIs also surged by 9.1 percentagainst the end of 2017 and 21.1 percent against the end of 2016 to more than 720trillion VND (30.9 billion USD).

According to Du, thanks to the regulations,measures to settle bad debts and prevent new ones from arising had been takensynchronously, contributing significantly to improving the quality of loans andreduce the bad debt ratio in the CI system.

Du said that enhanced legal frameworks inResolution 42, which allows CIs and the VAMC to rapidly repossesscollateral if a borrower defaults, had helped CIs and the VAMC manage bad debts. 

As of June 30 this year, CIs had handled 138.29trillion VND (5.9 billion USD) of bad debts according to Resolution 42,contributing to reducing the bad debt ratio in the entire banking system from2.46 percent on December 31, 2016 to 2.09 percent at the end of June this year.

Despite initial positive results, the centralbank has identified shortcomings during the process of resolving bad debts.Among those issues, the lack of a specialised debt trading market hadrestricted the efficiency of tackling bad debts. 
 
Besides, CIs are unable to identify correctly which collateral is under disputeor take temporary emergency measures due to the lack of information. Thisresulted in a misunderstanding of collateral between presiding agencies, makingit difficult to deal with collateral under Resolution 42.

In addition, industry insiders also said thatsettling NPLs had been easier since the application of Resolution 42, butdetailed guidance was still needed.

The Ministry of Finance issued a document inApril this year regulating the implementation of Resolution 42, but thedocument doesn’t provide detailed guidance on tax payment when dealing withcollateral relating to NPLs, they said.

It was still difficult to sell the assets due totax payment issues, suggesting that there should be clearer legal guidelines onpaying taxes when auctioning collateral.-VNA
