Explanation about <strong>the</strong> meaning<br />

of finger print<br />

Scientists have proved that <strong>the</strong> finger print of each person is unique, unchanged<br />

and can be identified for differences. On <strong>the</strong> basis of such differences,<br />

finger print is used in replace of signatures in important documents <strong>to</strong> affirm<br />

<strong>the</strong> responsibility of each person. Moreover, with modern science and technology,<br />

finger print identification methods widely applied in security systems<br />

for not only enhancing safety but also being a development trend of future<br />

technology.<br />

Accordingly, with a finger print image – <strong>the</strong> key design concept of <strong>the</strong> 2011<br />

Annual Report, <strong>Sacombank</strong> wants <strong>to</strong> express its own hallmark through proud<br />

achievements for 20-years development, and also confirms its commitments<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> sustainable secured banking operation and <strong>to</strong>ward <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p modern<br />

and high-technology bank in <strong>the</strong> region.

MESSAGE FRoM tHE CHAIRMAn oF tHE BoARD oF DIREC<strong>to</strong>RS<br />

TO SHAREHOLDERS, INVESTORS AND STRATEGIC PARTNERS<br />

Dear shareholders, inves<strong>to</strong>rs and strategic partners,<br />

For <strong>Sacombank</strong>, 2011 was an important transitional year. Following a restructuring process that began ten years ago,<br />

2011 saw <strong>the</strong> Bank’s successful completion of <strong>the</strong> development of a sound banking architecture in accordance with<br />

international standards. At <strong>the</strong> same time, <strong>Sacombank</strong> put in place <strong>the</strong> framework needed <strong>to</strong> achieve its goal of becoming<br />

a leading retail bank in <strong>the</strong> Indochina region within <strong>the</strong> next 10 years. This his<strong>to</strong>ric mission takes place in <strong>the</strong> context of<br />

<strong>the</strong> slow recovery of <strong>the</strong> world economy, signs of double economic depression in Europe, high inflation in Vietnam, and<br />

<strong>the</strong> continued stagnation of our country’s young s<strong>to</strong>ck exchange.<br />

Despite such great challenges, <strong>Sacombank</strong> in 2011 drew upon its skilled managerial staff at all levels, and its deep<br />

understanding and strict implementation of <strong>the</strong> Government’s Resolution 11 on monetary tightening <strong>to</strong> control inflation,<br />

<strong>to</strong> fulfill <strong>the</strong> achievement of <strong>the</strong> Bank’s 2001-2010 business objectives, and receipt of a Third-Class Labor Order from <strong>the</strong><br />

State President on <strong>the</strong> occasion of <strong>the</strong> Bank’s 20th anniversary. This is a firm foundation and good preparation for <strong>the</strong><br />

grand voyage <strong>the</strong> Bank will embark upon in <strong>the</strong> next 10 years.<br />

None<strong>the</strong>less, <strong>the</strong> Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs is aware that a constant focus on adaptability and competitiveness is needed, due<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> changes brought by rapid globalisation, <strong>the</strong> inherent weaknesses of <strong>the</strong> country’s economy in general, and <strong>the</strong><br />

7<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011


shortcomings of intensive concentration of resources for market expansion by each enterprise in particular. <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

is no exception <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>se facts. We must, <strong>the</strong>refore, recognise <strong>the</strong> Bank’s weaknesses and shortcomings, and <strong>the</strong>n “rethink,<br />

redesign and reconstruct” its architecture, including its institutional structure, people and technologies.<br />

In implementing <strong>the</strong> business plan for 2012, and in <strong>the</strong> context of continued stagnation of <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck market, we will face<br />

numerous difficulties and challenges. However, we have numerous strengths <strong>to</strong> work with, including a strong network<br />

of Branches, Centers, Subsidiaries and a Subsidiary Bank across <strong>the</strong> Indochina region; nearly ten thousand skilled and<br />

dedicated employees; a sound operating platform connecting advanced business and management processes based<br />

on <strong>the</strong> current modern T24/R11 core banking system; and lastly, a thirst for learning and a strong will <strong>to</strong> adapt and grow.<br />

While aware of <strong>the</strong> Bank’s inherent shortcomings, we are fully confident in our ability <strong>to</strong> turn challenges in<strong>to</strong> opportunities<br />

and <strong>to</strong> comprehensively fulfill <strong>the</strong> objectives and tasks set out for this year and <strong>the</strong> whole 2011-2015 period.<br />

The extreme difficulties and risks in <strong>the</strong> current market have spurred <strong>the</strong> Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> carefully reconsider<br />

<strong>the</strong> balance between STRENGTHENING and DEVELOPMENT of <strong>the</strong> business – and <strong>the</strong> focus at <strong>the</strong> current time is<br />

STRENGTHENING. Likewise, we must balance SAFETY with EFFICIENCY, where SAFETY is a focus. With this in mind, we<br />

have determined that <strong>the</strong> 2011-2020 period will see us concentrate on in-depth investments ra<strong>the</strong>r than extensive<br />

developments, and we will strive <strong>to</strong> add, increase, properly allocate and efficiently use resources; promote <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> highest<br />

extent core capabilities; strictly and effectively implement <strong>the</strong> Bank’s restructuring plan within <strong>the</strong> framework of <strong>the</strong><br />

Government’s and <strong>the</strong> State Bank Governor’s policy on commercial bank restructuring, focused on asset restructuring.<br />

The ultimate goal is a <strong>financial</strong> structure with an optimal <strong>financial</strong> model in accordance with international standards and<br />

best practices, and ensuring operational safety, efficiency, and sustainable development.<br />

The Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs looks forward <strong>to</strong> continued sympathy, sharing, support, cooperation and encouragement from<br />

our shareholders, inves<strong>to</strong>rs and strategic partners. We consider this as a firm mainstay and a motivating force for us <strong>to</strong><br />

confidently fulfill <strong>the</strong> business objectives and tasks for 2012, contributing <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> development of a sound commercial<br />

banking system in Vietnam and completing <strong>the</strong> critical mission of a commercial bank in <strong>the</strong> development of <strong>the</strong> country<br />

of Vietnam <strong>to</strong>wards wealth and prosperity.<br />

Yours faithfully,<br />

On behalf of <strong>the</strong> Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011 10


In early 1990s, in <strong>the</strong> context of <strong>the</strong> credit crisis, Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial<br />

Joint S<strong>to</strong>ck Bank (<strong>Sacombank</strong>) was incorporated on <strong>the</strong> basis of<br />

merger and combination of <strong>the</strong> four most stable credit institutions at<br />

that time. With <strong>the</strong> ambition for forming a new banking model heading<br />

for a sustainable career, <strong>Sacombank</strong> overcame many challenges, constantly<br />

innovated for adaptation (1991-2000), made constant efforts for<br />

reaching higher and fur<strong>the</strong>r (2001-2010), and has affirmed its position<br />

as <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p commercial bank in <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> market of Vietnam and <strong>the</strong><br />

region (2011-2020).<br />

After 20 years of development, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has been matured in various<br />

aspects, growing from <strong>the</strong> initial VND3 billion of charter capital <strong>to</strong><br />

VND10,740 billion <strong>to</strong>day , and from 100 first employees <strong>to</strong> a strong workforce<br />

of 10,000 successive employees of skills and passions. <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

is currently one of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p commercial banks of Vietnam with a wide network<br />

20 YEARS’ INNOVATION AND DEVELOPMENT


InCoRPoRAtIon AnD DEVELoPMEnt<br />

SACOMBANK - STRENGTHS OF A 20-YEAR-OLD YOUNGSTER<br />

Coming in<strong>to</strong> existence in <strong>the</strong> midst of challenges<br />

(1991-1995)<br />

In <strong>the</strong> early 1990s, in <strong>the</strong> midst of <strong>the</strong> credit crisis, <strong>the</strong> State<br />

Bank of Vietnam gave permission for Go Vap Economic<br />

Development Bank <strong>to</strong> merge with three credit cooperatives:<br />

Tan Binh, Thanh Cong and Lu Gia, <strong>to</strong> form Saigon Thuong<br />

Tin Commercial Joint S<strong>to</strong>ck Bank (<strong>Sacombank</strong>) on 21<br />

December 1991 with a charter capital of VND3 billion.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> was one of <strong>the</strong> first commercial joint s<strong>to</strong>ck<br />

banks <strong>to</strong> be incorporated in Vietnam. This creation of an<br />

open market <strong>to</strong> boost <strong>the</strong> banking service sec<strong>to</strong>r was an<br />

important step in terms of contributing <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> general<br />

development of <strong>the</strong> economy and represented an<br />

important reform by <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam.<br />

Born during <strong>the</strong> transitional stage of <strong>the</strong> country’s<br />

emerging economy, when <strong>the</strong> credit market was volatile<br />

and Vietnam did not yet have a modern finance and<br />

banking sec<strong>to</strong>r, <strong>Sacombank</strong> was a pioneer in <strong>the</strong> banking<br />

business, succeeding through a process of self-help,<br />

self-learning and self-adjustment. During this period,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> achieved some of its key objectives in terms<br />

of restructuring its systems and organisation by improving<br />

<strong>the</strong> performance of <strong>the</strong> apparatus and systematically<br />

eliminating <strong>the</strong> limitations of <strong>the</strong> old framework. As a<br />

result of <strong>the</strong>se efforts, <strong>the</strong> Bank enjoyed high growth<br />

effectiveness, lowering <strong>the</strong> ratio of bad debts, ensuring<br />

safety in capital regulation, basic interest rate; and ensuring<br />

<strong>the</strong> quality of credit, accounting, audits and controls.<br />

Pioneer in innovation (1996-2000)<br />

In a new open economy like Vietnam’s during <strong>the</strong> period<br />

of 1996-2000, capital resources for development were in<br />

urgent need. For commercial joint s<strong>to</strong>ck banks in particular,<br />

capital increase was a vital requirement for meeting<br />

business needs, and <strong>the</strong> question of how and where <strong>to</strong><br />

raise capital that was a secure and safe <strong>financial</strong> resource<br />

was a significant challenge for all banks. In this context,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> was also always “hungry” for capital and <strong>the</strong><br />

capital shortage created an onerous pressure on <strong>the</strong> Bank’s<br />

business activities.<br />

Faced with <strong>the</strong>se circumstances, <strong>Sacombank</strong> turned<br />

challenges in<strong>to</strong> opportunities by convincing <strong>the</strong><br />

regula<strong>to</strong>ry agencies <strong>to</strong> allow it <strong>to</strong> issue shares <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> public<br />

13<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

at a par value of VND200,000 per share. This initiative and<br />

effort yielded results that were beyond expectations for<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>. The unprecedented fund raising campaign<br />

in Vietnam was a tremendous success with over 9,000<br />

shareholders contributing capital through <strong>the</strong> purchase<br />

of shares. <strong>Sacombank</strong> became <strong>the</strong> first public commercial<br />

joint s<strong>to</strong>ck bank in Vietnam. This was considered a unique<br />

case in <strong>the</strong> Vietnamese finance-banking sec<strong>to</strong>r at <strong>the</strong><br />

time and paved <strong>the</strong> way for o<strong>the</strong>r strong capital raising<br />

opportunities with <strong>the</strong> involvement of foreign partners.<br />

Through this initiative, <strong>Sacombank</strong> became a pioneer in<br />

<strong>the</strong> diversification of ownership through equitisation,<br />

and <strong>the</strong> improvement of capabilities <strong>to</strong> attract capital and<br />

opportunities for cooperation with experienced foreign<br />

inves<strong>to</strong>rs who are <strong>financial</strong>ly strong. This opened up a<br />

period of management under an equitisation framework,<br />

eliminating non-transparency and focusing on long-term<br />

objectives and strategies.<br />

During this period, <strong>Sacombank</strong> built a firm and stable<br />

foundation and started <strong>to</strong> show <strong>the</strong> stature of a modern<br />

bank ready for global integration.<br />

Rising higher, going fur<strong>the</strong>r (2001-2005)<br />

With a somewhat radical viewpoint for <strong>the</strong> time,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> saw international cooperation as an<br />

indispensable component for Vietnamese enterprises in<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir efforts <strong>to</strong>wards global integration. <strong>Sacombank</strong> started<br />

<strong>to</strong> cooperate with big international partners as early as<br />

2001. The first international organisation with which<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> cooperated was Dragon Capital, a subsidiary<br />

of <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> group Dragon Financial Holdings (United<br />

Kingdom). This paved <strong>the</strong> way for later capital contribution<br />

by <strong>the</strong> International Financial Company (IFC) and ANZ<br />

Bank. With <strong>the</strong> involvement of foreign strategic partners,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> received support in relation <strong>to</strong> information<br />

technology, risk management, human resources training<br />

and development and banking corporate governance in<br />

accordance with international standards.<br />

In June 2004, <strong>Sacombank</strong> signed a contract for launching<br />

<strong>the</strong> T-24 Core Banking System with TEMENOS (Switzerland),<br />

which started <strong>the</strong> Bank’s process of banking technology<br />

modernisation during <strong>the</strong> economic integration. The T-24


Core Banking System helped <strong>Sacombank</strong> gain access <strong>to</strong><br />

advanced banking technologies <strong>to</strong> serve <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> and<br />

monetary market needs while at <strong>the</strong> same time increasing<br />

its professionalism in a fast growing economy.<br />

By <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> period of 2001-2005, <strong>Sacombank</strong> had<br />

risen <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p position in <strong>the</strong> commercial banking sec<strong>to</strong>r<br />

in Vietnam with a broad network of branches in 31 out of 64<br />

provinces and in cities nationwide. All <strong>the</strong>se encouraging<br />

achievements gave <strong>Sacombank</strong> more confidence in<br />

promoting its core strengths <strong>to</strong> fulfill objectives and tasks<br />

during <strong>the</strong> period of 2006-2010. <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s aim was <strong>to</strong><br />

become <strong>the</strong> first modern multi-functional retail bank in<br />

Vietnam.<br />

Affirming its position (2006-2010)<br />

During <strong>the</strong> period of 2006-2010, <strong>Sacombank</strong> focused<br />

on implementing four groups of solutions: (i) increase of<br />

<strong>financial</strong> capacity, (ii) expansion of <strong>the</strong> business network, (iii)<br />

modernisation of <strong>the</strong> banking technology, (iv) development<br />

of quality human resources in order <strong>to</strong> be fully equipped for<br />

global integration and <strong>to</strong> keep pace with <strong>the</strong> growth in <strong>the</strong><br />

world’s finance-banking sec<strong>to</strong>r.<br />

In addition <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> increase of <strong>financial</strong> capacity through <strong>the</strong><br />

issuance of shares on <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck exchange in 2006, during this<br />

period, <strong>Sacombank</strong> implemented its strategy of cross-border<br />

expansion of its network. Identifying <strong>the</strong> opportunities<br />

and importance of <strong>the</strong> two strategic markets of Laos and<br />

Cambodia, <strong>Sacombank</strong> was one of <strong>the</strong> first commercial<br />

joint s<strong>to</strong>ck banks of Vietnam <strong>to</strong> open branches in <strong>the</strong>se two<br />

neighboring countries. This gave <strong>the</strong> Bank a strong foothold<br />

<strong>to</strong> affirm its position as a modern Vietnamese retail bank in<br />

<strong>the</strong> Indochinese region.<br />

Coming in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> third decade of its development,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> has prepared plans, solutions and scenarios<br />

for its new journey, supported by renewed strength and<br />

confidence in its ability <strong>to</strong> overcome difficulties. Having<br />

experienced three <strong>financial</strong> crises in Vietnam, <strong>the</strong> region<br />

and <strong>the</strong> world in only two decades, and with its policy<br />

of safe operation, efficient business and sustainable<br />

development, <strong>Sacombank</strong> is extremely confident about<br />

<strong>the</strong> next five years, and is well on its way <strong>to</strong> achieving its<br />

goal of becoming <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p retail bank in Indochina.<br />

HIS<strong>to</strong>RICAL MILES<strong>to</strong>nES<br />

21 December 1991: <strong>Sacombank</strong> was one of <strong>the</strong> first<br />

commercial joint s<strong>to</strong>ck banks <strong>to</strong> be incorporated in Ho Chi<br />

Minh City through <strong>the</strong> merger of Go Vap Bank for Economic<br />

Development and three credit cooperatives: Tan Binh, Thanh<br />

Cong and Lu Gia Cooperatives.<br />

1993: <strong>Sacombank</strong> opened its Hanoi Branch, creating<br />

significant opportunities for growth in <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn<br />

Vietnamese market. As <strong>the</strong> first commercial bank in HCMC <strong>to</strong><br />

have a branch in <strong>the</strong> capital city, <strong>Sacombank</strong> was a pioneer in<br />

providing quick money transfer services between Hanoi and<br />

HCMC, reducing <strong>the</strong> use of cash between <strong>the</strong> country’s two<br />

biggest economic hubs.<br />

1995: <strong>Sacombank</strong> established an advanced management<br />

model working on a regular basis (referred <strong>to</strong> as <strong>the</strong> Permanent<br />

Committee of <strong>the</strong> Board of Management) <strong>to</strong> give direct<br />

instructions and supervision, institutionalise managerial<br />

principles step by step and control all aspects of <strong>the</strong> Bank’s<br />

operations.<br />

1996: <strong>Sacombank</strong> issued shares vat a par value of<br />

VND200,000 per share <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> public <strong>to</strong> raise capital.<br />

1997: <strong>Sacombank</strong> was <strong>the</strong> first bank <strong>to</strong> establish credit<br />

groups outside its urban market coverage (where no<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> Branches were based) <strong>to</strong> meet capital needs in<br />

rural communities and contribute <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> improvement of <strong>the</strong><br />

living conditions of farmer households and <strong>the</strong> reduction of<br />

usury in <strong>the</strong> economy.<br />

1999: <strong>Sacombank</strong> opened its headquarters building at<br />

No. 278 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street, District 3, HCMC. It was <strong>the</strong><br />

first spacious and sizeable head office building of a commercial<br />

joint s<strong>to</strong>ck bank at that time. This event marked a turning<br />

point in <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s confidence and led it <strong>to</strong> make greater<br />

advancements in its foreign operations..<br />

2001: <strong>Sacombank</strong> received investment capital from foreign<br />

shareholders. The first foreign shareholder was <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong><br />

group Dragon Financial Holding (UK), which contributed<br />

10% of <strong>the</strong> charter capital. This was followed by capital<br />

contribution from <strong>the</strong> International Financial Company (IFC)<br />

and ANZ Bank, raising <strong>the</strong> foreign shareholders’ capital <strong>to</strong> 30%<br />

of <strong>the</strong> charter capital. Hence, <strong>Sacombank</strong> received assistance<br />

in relation <strong>to</strong> managerial experience, banking technology, risk<br />

management, human resources training and development<br />

from its strategic shareholders at an early stage.<br />

2002: The diversification of <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s <strong>financial</strong> services<br />

products started with <strong>the</strong> incorporation and operation of<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> Asset Management Company (<strong>Sacombank</strong>-SBA).<br />

This was followed by <strong>the</strong> incorporation of o<strong>the</strong>r companies<br />

specialising in <strong>the</strong> money remittance sec<strong>to</strong>r (<strong>Sacombank</strong>-SBR),<br />

finance lease sec<strong>to</strong>r (<strong>Sacombank</strong>-SBL), and <strong>the</strong> gems<strong>to</strong>nes and<br />

jewelry sec<strong>to</strong>r (<strong>Sacombank</strong>-SBJ) in order <strong>to</strong> meet <strong>the</strong> increasingly<br />

diverse demands of cus<strong>to</strong>mers.<br />

strategies in <strong>the</strong> new period as well as <strong>the</strong> development<br />

of an advanced banking technology infrastructure; <strong>the</strong><br />

REPORTS


REPoRt oF tHE BoARD oF DIREC<strong>to</strong>RS<br />

ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ITS MANAGEMENT TASKS IN 2011<br />

2011 was <strong>the</strong> first year of implementation of <strong>the</strong><br />

Development Strategies for <strong>the</strong> period of 2011-2020,<br />

and also saw <strong>the</strong> celebration of <strong>the</strong> 20th anniversary of<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> (21 December 1991 – 21 December 2011).<br />

It is now essential <strong>to</strong> create an impetus for outstanding<br />

development achievements in subsequent years and make<br />

an impression, showing <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s youthful force as<br />

a 20-year-old youngster. However, this process started in<br />

<strong>the</strong> context of on-going global economic depression, high<br />

inflation in <strong>the</strong> country, and <strong>Sacombank</strong> itself trying <strong>to</strong><br />

overcome <strong>the</strong> consequences of a period of unsustainable<br />

and rapid growth (2006 – 2007). Therefore, instead of<br />

focusing on accelerating growth, <strong>the</strong> Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs has<br />

changed its strategic direction, based on this viewpoint:<br />

“Reduction of extensive development, focus on intensive<br />

investments, acceleration of <strong>the</strong> restructuring process<br />

(mainly concentrating on structural and institutional<br />

improvement), and modernisation of <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s<br />

banking technology and training <strong>to</strong> improve <strong>the</strong> quality of<br />

<strong>the</strong> human resources through which <strong>to</strong> create a foundation<br />

for <strong>the</strong> next period of stable and sustainable development.”<br />

Based on <strong>the</strong>se strategic changes; strict implementation<br />

of <strong>the</strong> regulations of <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam on credit<br />

growth control, ceiling deposit interest rates and <strong>financial</strong><br />

safety indices, which helped <strong>to</strong> control high inflation; as<br />

well as sharing of <strong>the</strong> difficulties with loyal cus<strong>to</strong>mers and<br />

small and medium-sized enterprises, <strong>Sacombank</strong> saw its<br />

growth in 2011 slow down in various aspects compared<br />

with previous years, except for <strong>the</strong> profit before tax, which<br />

increased by 13% from 2010, yet only reaching 101% of<br />

<strong>the</strong> target. Never<strong>the</strong>less, what is most reassuring is that<br />

overdue debts and bad debts were handled well and<br />

controlled effectively <strong>to</strong> be kept at 0.86% and 0.56% of<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal lending balance respectively; while <strong>the</strong> average<br />

ratio of <strong>the</strong> entire Vietnamese banking industry was 3.4%.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, most of <strong>the</strong> Bank’s <strong>financial</strong> safety indices<br />

were in compliance with regulations.<br />

As for <strong>the</strong> Subsidiaries’ performance in 2011, except for<br />

SBJ Company, which had modest operating results with<br />

profit before tax reaching only VND22.1 billion due <strong>to</strong><br />

strict compliance with <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam’s policy<br />

on restriction of gold trading, o<strong>the</strong>r Subsidiaries achieved<br />

impressive profit before tax as follows: SBA Company<br />

earned VND110.6 billion of profit before tax, reaching<br />

106% of <strong>the</strong> target; SBL Company earned VND75.02 billion,<br />

reaching 107.2% of <strong>the</strong> target and increasing by 42.9%<br />

33<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

from <strong>the</strong> previous year; SBR Company reached US$1.57<br />

billion of remittance revenue, an increase of 20.6% from<br />

<strong>the</strong> previous year and representing 17.4% of market share.<br />

Meanwhile, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has focused its resources on<br />

restructuring <strong>the</strong> Bank and its Subsidiaries and Subsidiary<br />

Bank, upgrading <strong>the</strong> T-24/R8 Core Banking System <strong>to</strong> version<br />

R11, and implementing a series of IT projects associated with<br />

improving most of its core business policies, regulations<br />

and processes, especially risk management processes in<br />

accordance with international standards, <strong>to</strong> form a firm<br />

foundation for operational and risk management activities<br />

in subsequent periods. Through <strong>the</strong> Sales Stimulation<br />

Project (SSP), last year, <strong>Sacombank</strong> provided training on<br />

professional selling skills <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> majority of its cus<strong>to</strong>mer<br />

relations staff, and reorganised <strong>the</strong> professional sales forces<br />

in conjunction with <strong>the</strong> introduction of proper incentive<br />

policies <strong>to</strong> improve business performance. <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

also selected and provided knowledge and skills training<br />

<strong>to</strong> over 500 potential officers who are <strong>to</strong> be added <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

next generation. In addition, <strong>the</strong> Bank gradually improved<br />

<strong>the</strong> centralised management models, frameworks and<br />

methods by business and operational division and applied<br />

decentralised administration over Regions/Branches<br />

by terri<strong>to</strong>ry in order <strong>to</strong> strictly implement <strong>the</strong> principle<br />

of “unified organisation – centralised management –<br />

decentralised administration” and promote <strong>the</strong> highest<br />

level of individual responsibility for managerial officers at<br />

various levels.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, <strong>Sacombank</strong> also focused on innovation<br />

of internal cost pricing in accordance with international<br />

standards and best practices in order <strong>to</strong> foster <strong>the</strong> proactive<br />

decision making ability and creativity of direct business units<br />

on <strong>the</strong> basis of “purchaser-seller agreement” and meeting<br />

requirements relating <strong>to</strong> proper allocation and regulation<br />

of resources <strong>to</strong> business lines and market segments <strong>to</strong><br />

ensure safety and efficiency. The Bank also innovated <strong>the</strong><br />

annual business planning and implementation activities<br />

associated with five-year development objectives through<br />

a clever combination of short-term benefits and longterm<br />

development objectives in order <strong>to</strong> increase <strong>the</strong><br />

proactiveness, self-responsibility and flexibility of direct<br />

business units in managing business plans, combined with<br />

<strong>the</strong> coordination role of <strong>the</strong> heads of business divisions of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bank and system-wide functional departments.


In addition, <strong>to</strong> ensure <strong>the</strong> highest level of efficiency and<br />

<strong>the</strong> best use of <strong>the</strong> network scale of a retail bank, in 2011,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bank opened two new branches in Thai Nguyen and<br />

Phu Tho Provinces, upgraded <strong>the</strong> <strong>Sacombank</strong> Phnom<br />

Penh Branch in<strong>to</strong> a Subsidiary Bank wholly owned by<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> in Cambodia, and opened 42 more Transaction<br />

Offices, increasing <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal number of Transaction Offices<br />

in <strong>the</strong> three countries of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia <strong>to</strong><br />

408 by late 2011.<br />

During <strong>the</strong> past 20 years, especially in 2011, with <strong>the</strong><br />

function of managing <strong>the</strong> Bank in accordance with <strong>the</strong><br />

Law on Credit Institutions, and with <strong>the</strong> four major tasks<br />

of Planning, Organisation, Leadership and Moni<strong>to</strong>ring, <strong>the</strong><br />

Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs has spent a great deal of time and effort<br />

on improving <strong>the</strong> Banking Architecture, including <strong>the</strong><br />

Superstructure and <strong>the</strong> Infrastructure; Legal Frameworks<br />

and Support Tools, and developing quality Human<br />

Resources and a firm operational platform on <strong>the</strong> basis of<br />

<strong>the</strong> proper business model of a modern multi-functional<br />

retail bank in a lean and cost-saving manner. The Bank has<br />

also boosted <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> highest level <strong>the</strong> passion, proactiveness<br />

and creativity of employees through open transparent<br />

incentive policies of <strong>the</strong> Bank and <strong>the</strong> inspirational and<br />

change management ability of managerial officers at<br />

various levels through which <strong>to</strong> increase <strong>the</strong> adaptability of<br />

all staff members and improve <strong>the</strong> Bank’s competitiveness.<br />

Therefore, despite slower growth in all aspects last year<br />

compared with previous years, with a fairly complete<br />

banking architecture and complete legal frameworks; a<br />

fairly firm operational platform; fairly modern support <strong>to</strong>ols<br />

and fairly advanced risk management methods; along with<br />

strong and professional sales forces, <strong>the</strong> Bank is well placed<br />

<strong>to</strong> be able <strong>to</strong> achieve its objectives of SAFETY, EFFICIENCY<br />

and SUSTAINABILITY in <strong>the</strong> near future, as defined in its<br />

strategic plan for <strong>the</strong> period of 2011 – 2015.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> started <strong>to</strong> implement its 2012 plan in <strong>the</strong><br />

context of many difficulties and challenges still facing<br />

<strong>the</strong> world economy and <strong>the</strong> domestic economy, while<br />

its inherent weaknesses and shortcomings, although<br />

overcome and corrected synchronously in 2011, still need<br />

time <strong>to</strong> be eventually eliminated. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> strategic<br />

REPORTS<br />

policy of simultaneous defense and attack must be<br />

maintained in order <strong>to</strong> deal with <strong>the</strong> impacts of <strong>the</strong> global<br />

<strong>financial</strong> crisis of 2008-2009. Accordingly, EFFICIENCY is<br />

still considered an important objective, but SAFETY is<br />

<strong>the</strong> leading strategic task. On that basis, it is necessary<br />

<strong>to</strong> continue improving fundamental elements, and <strong>to</strong><br />

focus on innovation, particularly in respect of <strong>the</strong> WAY<br />

OF THINKING and METHODS for corporate governance<br />

in general, especially risk management, and for <strong>financial</strong><br />

management in particular. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, <strong>the</strong> individual<br />

role and responsibility, proactiveness and creativity of<br />

members of <strong>the</strong> Board of Management must be promoted<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> highest level, with great promotion opportunities<br />

and satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry incentives provided.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s Asset Portfolio and<br />

Financial Structure will be restructured according <strong>to</strong> an<br />

optimal <strong>financial</strong> model, with resources focused on core<br />

capabilities; rapid and complete divestment from non-core<br />

businesses; slowdown and minimisation of investment in<br />

capital construction; rapid disposal of unused assets and<br />

assets received for offsetting against loan debts; increase<br />

in available funds; elimination of waste and performance<br />

of strict saving; increase in incomes and decrease in<br />

expenses; more added value created for cus<strong>to</strong>mers;<br />

increase in incomes for <strong>the</strong> Bank; increase in dividends for<br />

Shareholders and improvement of <strong>the</strong> living standards of<br />

employees across <strong>the</strong> entire network of <strong>the</strong> Bank.<br />

So, in <strong>the</strong> context of <strong>the</strong> current economic challenges,<br />

we only expect 2012 <strong>to</strong> be a year of focused stabilisation<br />

in all aspects <strong>to</strong> ensure safety and efficiency. In addition,<br />

it is necessary <strong>to</strong> add more resources, consolidate <strong>the</strong><br />

foundation, and continue innovating <strong>the</strong> operational<br />

mechanism, corporate governance methods, and<br />

incentive policies within <strong>the</strong> framework of <strong>the</strong> State Bank<br />

of Vietnam Governor’s policy on restructuring commercial<br />

banks of Vietnam in order <strong>to</strong> create <strong>the</strong> momentum<br />

for breakthroughs in growth in subsequent years and<br />

successfully fulfill <strong>the</strong> development objectives set forth for<br />

<strong>the</strong> whole period of 2011 – 2020 in line with <strong>the</strong> Resolution<br />

of <strong>the</strong> 2010 General Meeting of Shareholders at its annual<br />

meeting on 2 April 2011.<br />

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011 34


REPoRt oF tHE BoARD oF SUPERVISoRS<br />

Taking <strong>the</strong> responsibilities for moni<strong>to</strong>ring compliance with <strong>the</strong> laws and regulations set by <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam<br />

(SBV) across <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s system <strong>to</strong> ensure its stable growth, achievement of business objectives and adherence <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

laws and banking regulations, based on macro-economic forecasts and <strong>the</strong> Bank’s performance review, <strong>the</strong> Board of<br />

Supervisors in 2011 performed <strong>the</strong> following specific action plans:<br />

Hold periodic meetings between <strong>the</strong> Board of Supervisors and <strong>the</strong> Internal Audi<strong>to</strong>rs and <strong>the</strong> Risk Management team;<br />

attend <strong>the</strong> meetings of <strong>the</strong> Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs; provide comments on <strong>the</strong> development and implementation of business<br />

plans; perform comprehensive moni<strong>to</strong>ring of <strong>the</strong> Bank’s operations in various aspects with emphasis on <strong>the</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>ring<br />

and cooperation with <strong>the</strong> Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs and <strong>the</strong> Board of Management <strong>to</strong> achieve <strong>the</strong> set objectives.<br />

In 2011, as a <strong>to</strong>ol of <strong>the</strong> Board of Supervisors, <strong>the</strong> Internal Audit system (consisting of <strong>the</strong> Internal Audi<strong>to</strong>rs at <strong>the</strong> Head<br />

Office and <strong>the</strong> Regional Inspection and Supervision Team) performed audits of 408 transaction offices (100% of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal<br />

number of transaction offices), 11 divisions/departments at <strong>the</strong> Head Office and 3 Subsidiaries (SBA, SBL, SBJ). Periodic<br />

and extraordinary cash counts were performed at all transaction offices across <strong>the</strong> Bank’s system. The controls and<br />

internal audit systems of <strong>the</strong> Bank proved <strong>the</strong>ir efficiency in <strong>the</strong> moni<strong>to</strong>ring process <strong>to</strong> achieve <strong>the</strong> goal of prevention and<br />

warning of any probable risks. In addition, <strong>the</strong> Internal Audi<strong>to</strong>rs have performed distant supervision of all business units<br />

across <strong>the</strong> Bank’s system, gave timely warnings and identified any violations of <strong>the</strong> regulations for immediate response<br />

and remediation as well as provided guidelines on business operations for different business units.<br />

Assessment of <strong>the</strong> Board of Supervisors on <strong>the</strong><br />

Bank’s business activities:<br />

n Management: The Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs performed <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

management role well, providing timely support and<br />

instructions <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Board of Management in relation<br />

<strong>to</strong> managerial tasks. The Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs also closely<br />

coordinated with <strong>the</strong> Board of Supervisors through<br />

inspection and control of <strong>the</strong> operating activities of <strong>the</strong><br />

Bank and its subsidiaries.<br />

n Operations: The Board of Management made<br />

outstanding efforts in 2011, having consistently grasped<br />

market developments in a timely manner and strictly<br />

implemented <strong>the</strong> directives of <strong>the</strong> Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs as<br />

well as adhering <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> plans of <strong>the</strong> Board of Direc<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />

These actions resulted in a number of praiseworthy<br />

successes in <strong>the</strong> year in terms of profit before tax, <strong>to</strong>tal<br />

assets, and business network expansion. The Board of<br />

Management also coordinated closely with <strong>the</strong> Board<br />

of Supervisors in moni<strong>to</strong>ring and supervising operating<br />

activities, and providing relevant information and data<br />

<strong>to</strong> support <strong>the</strong> Board of Supervisors’ actions.<br />

n Internal controls: The Bank has built and has always<br />

been interested in <strong>the</strong> improvement of a system of<br />

internal controls <strong>to</strong> meet <strong>the</strong> development needs of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bank. There was an emphasis on self-checks and<br />

self-correction, and appointing Itinerant Direc<strong>to</strong>rs and<br />

Transaction Managers <strong>to</strong> conduct checks as well. The<br />

control system comprises of risk management policies,<br />

35<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

processes and regulations, decentralisation of power,<br />

levels of authorisation and IT applications. The tasks<br />

of inspection and supervision were improved <strong>to</strong> attain<br />

better results.<br />

n Risk management and treatment in <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s<br />

control system.<br />

Market risks<br />

(i) Foreign exchange risk<br />

According <strong>to</strong> economists, one of <strong>the</strong> biggest successes of<br />

<strong>the</strong> monetary policy of 2011 lies in <strong>the</strong> foreign exchange<br />

rate policy. With VND deposit rates being maintained high<br />

while <strong>the</strong> applicable ceiling rate for USD deposits being<br />

kept low, <strong>the</strong> foreign exchange rate between USD and<br />

VND has been kept reasonably stable after it had been<br />

sharply depreciated by 9% at <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

However, <strong>the</strong> foreign exchange rate climbed at certain<br />

points in time during <strong>the</strong> year which was principally due<br />

<strong>to</strong> gold speculation.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> foreign exchange rate being quite stable in 2011<br />

and efficient management of <strong>the</strong> foreign exchange risks,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> has not been affected severely by <strong>the</strong> foreign<br />

exchange risks.<br />

(ii) Interest rate risk<br />

In 2011, given <strong>the</strong> scarcity of raised funds, banks’ race <strong>to</strong><br />

increase interest rates was intensified vigorously. However,<br />

thanks <strong>to</strong> its policy on floating loan interest rates, <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

successfully managed interest rate risks.


Liquidity risk<br />

(i) High inflation of <strong>the</strong> local economy; (ii) The monetary<br />

tightening policy; (iii) Interest rate competition among banks<br />

Some banks fell in<strong>to</strong> intensified liquidity problem. Liquidity<br />

risk represented a significant risk faced by many banks.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>’s internal <strong>financial</strong> indica<strong>to</strong>rs related <strong>to</strong><br />

liquidity remained under control but at high limits, and<br />

needed attention and handling. Some of <strong>the</strong> indica<strong>to</strong>rs<br />

were <strong>the</strong> VND-denominated lending <strong>to</strong> fund-raising ratio,<br />

<strong>the</strong> quick ratio in VND by day or week.<br />

Credit risk<br />

As at Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2011, according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> data of <strong>the</strong> SBV, bad<br />

debts of <strong>the</strong> banking sec<strong>to</strong>r rose by 35.6% from 2010 and<br />

hit 3.4% of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal lending balance.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>’s bad debt ratio as at 31 December 2011 was<br />

0.56%, which was quite low compared with <strong>the</strong> average ratio<br />

of <strong>the</strong> banking sec<strong>to</strong>r. The low ratio was attributed <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Bank’s credit grant procedures being stringent. The Bad Debt<br />

Prevention and Handling Board fulfilled well its advisory and<br />

forecasting role and set out solutions for handling bad debts.<br />

However, bad debts are forecast <strong>to</strong> increase highly in early<br />

2012, and require fur<strong>the</strong>r closer control <strong>to</strong> be in place.<br />

The Internal Audit, as a <strong>to</strong>ol of <strong>the</strong> Board of Supervisors<br />

Results of evaluation of <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong><br />

The Board of Supervisors evaluated <strong>the</strong> quarterly, semiannual<br />

and annual Financial Statements of <strong>the</strong> Bank in <strong>the</strong><br />

fiscal year 2011 and agreed <strong>to</strong> confirm <strong>the</strong> following results:<br />

The <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> of <strong>the</strong> Bank for 2011 were prepared<br />

in <strong>the</strong> forms issued along with Decision No. 16/2007/QD-<br />

NHNN dated 18 April 2007 of <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam<br />

on “Financial Reporting Regulations for Credit Institutions”<br />

and in accordance with Circular No. 09/2010/TT-BTC dated<br />

15 January 2010 of <strong>the</strong> Ministry of Finance on “Guidance for<br />

disclosure of information on <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck market,” Vietnamese<br />

GENERAL SITUATION<br />

1. Economic overview<br />

In 2011, <strong>the</strong> world economy faced continued difficulties,<br />

with high inflation and complicated European<br />

sovereign debts hindering recovery. By <strong>the</strong> end of 2011,<br />

<strong>the</strong> world economy had grown by 3.8% (lower than <strong>the</strong><br />

growth rate of 5.2% in 2010), whereas Asia’s economy<br />

had grown by 7.2% and <strong>the</strong> economies of developing<br />

countries showed growth of around 6.2%.<br />

Last year, <strong>the</strong> Vietnamese economy faced high inflation,<br />

capricious changes in foreign exchange rates and gold<br />

prices, s<strong>to</strong>ck market stagnation, a frozen real estate<br />

market, an unsustainable macro-economic balance,<br />

a high increase in governmental debts, low efficiency<br />

of public investments, shortcomings in policies on<br />

economic regulation, and natural calamities and<br />

epidemics that significantly affected people’s lives in<br />

certain areas.<br />

In response <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong>se difficulties, <strong>the</strong> Government issued<br />

a number of timely policies and solutions. As a result,<br />

37<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

inflation was gradually brought under control in <strong>the</strong> last<br />

months of <strong>the</strong> year, and <strong>the</strong> country’s GDP growth rate<br />

was maintained at a level that was more satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry<br />

than <strong>the</strong> general situation, albeit lower than in <strong>the</strong><br />

previous year. The details are as follows: CPI increased<br />

by 18.12%; GDP grew by 5.89%; export value reached<br />

US$96.3 billion, up by 33.3% from 2010; <strong>the</strong> trade deficit<br />

was kept at under 10% of export value; and <strong>to</strong>tal social<br />

investment increased by 5.7% from 2010 and was equal<br />

<strong>to</strong> around 34.6% of GDP.<br />

2. Banking industry<br />

Implementing Resolution 11/NQ-CP of <strong>the</strong> Government,<br />

<strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam issued close and prudent<br />

monetary policies <strong>to</strong> fulfill <strong>the</strong> objectives of credit<br />

growth control, low <strong>to</strong>tal payment facilities, and<br />

reasonable interest rates and foreign exchange rates in<br />

order <strong>to</strong> control inflation, stabilise <strong>the</strong> macro-economy<br />

and ensure social security. As a result, <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> and<br />

money market has gradually been stable. Interest rates


and foreign exchange rates were controlled effectively and<br />

more closely in accordance with <strong>the</strong> country’s objectives.<br />

However, shortcomings at a number of banks, such as<br />

liquidity risk, bad debts and non-compliance with <strong>the</strong><br />

laws, were revealed. The State Bank of Vietnam <strong>the</strong>refore<br />

had <strong>to</strong> implement a policy on restructuring <strong>the</strong> banking<br />

industry through <strong>the</strong> merger and acquisition of weaker<br />

banks <strong>to</strong> ensure safety and transparency for <strong>the</strong> banking<br />

industry as a whole..<br />

In 2011, <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal assets of <strong>the</strong> banking industry as a<br />

whole increased by 13.5%. Raised capital and loans grew<br />

by 9.9% and 10.9% respectively from <strong>the</strong> beginning of<br />

<strong>the</strong> year. Bad debts increased sharply; <strong>the</strong> percentage<br />

of bad debts of <strong>the</strong> industry as a whole was over 3%.<br />

Operational risks, especially ethical risk, also increased.<br />

OPERATING RESULTS IN 2011<br />

1. Total assets<br />

In <strong>the</strong> context of <strong>the</strong> general difficulties in <strong>the</strong> economy<br />

and <strong>the</strong> risky business environment, by implementing<br />

a policy of non-pressure on performance indices,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>’s <strong>to</strong>tal assets in 2011 slightly changed<br />

compared <strong>to</strong> 2010. As at 31 December 2011, <strong>the</strong><br />

Bank’s <strong>to</strong>tal assets reached VND140,137 billion, a slight<br />

decrease of 1% from <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

2. Capital raising activities<br />

By <strong>the</strong> end of last year, <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s <strong>to</strong>tal raised capital<br />

had reached VND123,315 billion (including gold<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>dy), a slight decrease of 2% from early last year,<br />

representing 4% of <strong>the</strong> market share of <strong>the</strong> banking<br />

industry. The portion of capital raised from economic<br />

organisations and residents was VND104,218 billion, up<br />

by 0.4% from early last year..<br />

In general, since market developments and <strong>the</strong> State<br />

Bank of Vietnam’s monetary tightening policy have<br />

partly affected fund-raising activities, particularly <strong>the</strong><br />

reduction of gold and USD trading, <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal raised<br />

capital of <strong>the</strong> Bank grew more slowly than in previous years.<br />

Strictly implementing Directive 02 of <strong>the</strong> State Bank<br />

of Vietnam, <strong>Sacombank</strong> applied policies including not<br />

participating in interest rate competition; keeping<br />

deposit interest rates under 14%; making use of<br />

its brand and network advantages <strong>to</strong> raise capital<br />

from stable resident communities; and improving<br />

its competitiveness by increasing <strong>the</strong> sales force and<br />

improving <strong>the</strong>ir cus<strong>to</strong>mer care skills. New products and<br />

fund-raising programmes were also launched <strong>to</strong> satisfy<br />

<strong>the</strong> needs of <strong>the</strong> new individual cus<strong>to</strong>mer segments.<br />

These new products and programmes were accordant<br />

with <strong>the</strong> current market conditions and helped utilise<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bank’s competitive advantage and reduce <strong>the</strong> fundraising<br />

costs for <strong>the</strong> Bank somewhat. These programmes<br />

included “Depositing Millions <strong>to</strong> Win Billions of VND”,<br />

“The Wave of Billionaires”, “Phu Dong Savings”, products<br />

related <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> conversion of deposits in gold, and a<br />

sales-based bonus programme for employees, etc.<br />

Capital raised from <strong>financial</strong> institutions continued<br />

<strong>to</strong> grow thanks <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bank’s brand reputation and<br />

well-established relationships. This led <strong>to</strong> a stable and<br />

diversified operating capital structure for <strong>Sacombank</strong>. By<br />

late 2011, trade refinancing was worth US$258 million,<br />

an increase of US$123 million (91%); <strong>the</strong> entrusted fund<br />

reached VND2,339 billion, up by VND105 billion (5%)<br />

from <strong>the</strong> previous year, and <strong>the</strong> Bank had raised US$105<br />

million of subdebt.<br />

3. Credit activities<br />

REPORTS<br />

By 31 December 2011, <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal cus<strong>to</strong>mer debt<br />

balance had reached VND78,449 billion, an increase of<br />

VND1,090 billion, equivalent <strong>to</strong> 1.41%, from early last<br />

year, accounting for 55.98% of <strong>to</strong>tal assets. Loans <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

non-manufacturing sec<strong>to</strong>r accounted for 16% of this.<br />

In general, <strong>the</strong> lending growth rate was not high<br />

because <strong>Sacombank</strong> applied a safe credit control<br />

policy in line with market developments. In addition,<br />

due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> impact of <strong>the</strong> Government’s policies on<br />

restriction of lending <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> non-manufacturing sec<strong>to</strong>rs<br />

and s<strong>to</strong>pping lending in gold, <strong>the</strong> number of eligible<br />

borrowers was significantly reduced. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore,<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers were encouraged not <strong>to</strong> accept loan debts<br />

due <strong>to</strong> high market interest rates.<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011 38


REPoRt oF tHE BoARD oF MAnAGEMEnt<br />

Anticipating economic difficulties, <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

actively implemented strong and consistent measures<br />

<strong>to</strong> prevent and manage overdue debts through<br />

<strong>the</strong> mechanism of <strong>the</strong> Overdue Debt Prevention &<br />

Handling Boards and Sub-boards of business units.<br />

Therefore, credit quality was secured and <strong>the</strong> overdue<br />

debt ratio was kept lower than <strong>the</strong> average ratio of <strong>the</strong><br />

banking industry. Specifically, <strong>the</strong> overdue debt ratio of<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> was 0.86% and its bad debt ratio was 0.56%<br />

(<strong>the</strong> average ratio of <strong>the</strong> industry was 3.4%).<br />

4. Interest rates and net interest incomes<br />

In <strong>the</strong> context of high deposit interest rates, dispersed<br />

lending was actively conducted by all business units,<br />

combined with good control of fund-raising expenses<br />

<strong>to</strong> maintain healthy gross margins for 2011. As a<br />

result, net interest incomes were VND5,496 billion,<br />

representing an increase of 71% from <strong>the</strong> previous year<br />

and 124% of target. These satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry <strong>to</strong>tal interest<br />

incomes contributed significantly <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> overall profits<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Bank.<br />

The international-standard FTP framework, which<br />

was officially launched at <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong><br />

year, represented an important advancement in<br />

reformulating <strong>the</strong> method of calculating internal costs.<br />

It changed <strong>the</strong> viewpoint on assessment of profits<br />

contributed by business units, created support <strong>to</strong>ols<br />

for <strong>the</strong> calculation of important ratios like CPR, KPI, TOI,<br />

etc. and created a basic platform for advanced business<br />

administration. To date, <strong>the</strong> FTP framework has been<br />

working effectively; it is largely au<strong>to</strong>matic and can<br />

moni<strong>to</strong>r and assess <strong>the</strong> efficiency of each transaction.<br />

5. Services business<br />

Thanks <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> modern core banking platform, which has<br />

been frequently improved, along with <strong>the</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>ned<br />

professional sales force, a broad network at home and<br />

abroad, and <strong>the</strong> application of a one-s<strong>to</strong>p transaction<br />

process in <strong>the</strong> entire system, <strong>the</strong> services business was<br />

fur<strong>the</strong>r improved during <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

Total service income was VND935 billion, accounting<br />

for 14.2%, an increase of 1% from 2010, exceeding <strong>the</strong><br />

target by 47%. The details of this income are as follows:<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

n International payment revenue reached US$5,731 million.<br />

n Money transfer revenue was VND3,846,842 billion, an<br />

increase of 36% from 2010.<br />

n Guaranteed revenue grew sharply and reached<br />

VND7,372 billion, an increase of 40% from 2010.<br />

In addition <strong>to</strong> traditional services, <strong>the</strong> Internet banking<br />

service was improved and brought many new benefits<br />

<strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers. The Sales Stimulation Programme<br />

was launched across <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s network and has<br />

engendered a more dynamic and professional way of<br />

thinking about selling. <strong>Sacombank</strong> continued <strong>to</strong> invest<br />

in and develop card services, which is making a larger<br />

contribution <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal service income. New products and<br />

services were also targeted at internal cus<strong>to</strong>mers, who<br />

are employees of <strong>the</strong> Bank and its Subsidiaries.<br />

6. Foreign exchange trading<br />

By grasping business opportunities following market<br />

developments, <strong>the</strong> Bank’s foreign exchange trading<br />

activities brought in satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry results. The <strong>to</strong>tal<br />

income from <strong>the</strong>se activities was VND123 billion, an<br />

increase of 173% from <strong>the</strong> previous year.<br />

In addition, foreign exchange products were diversified<br />

and provided cus<strong>to</strong>mers with additional benefits. A<br />

number of workshops were held for enterprises and<br />

inves<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>to</strong> familiarise cus<strong>to</strong>mers with derivatives in<br />

investment and risk management.<br />

7. Card activity<br />

The number of <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s cards in circulation by <strong>the</strong><br />

from early last year. The <strong>to</strong>tal number of POSs was 2,201<br />

which was an increase of 36% from 2010.<br />

In 2011, card sales were boosted through direct<br />

distribution channels like freelancers, and marketing<br />

cooperation with schools, hospitals, trade centers,<br />

etc. A number of card utilities continued <strong>to</strong> be tested,<br />

updated and expanded. Some programmes like Plus


Day and <strong>Sacombank</strong> Plus in association with card sale<br />

agencies were launched <strong>to</strong> increase <strong>the</strong> use of cards by<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers and sales of <strong>the</strong> commodities and services of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bank’s partners.<br />

Total income from card services reached VND130 billion,<br />

an increase of 88% from <strong>the</strong> previous year, representing<br />

20% of <strong>the</strong> Bank’s <strong>to</strong>tal service income. The profit from<br />

card-related activities <strong>to</strong>taled VND67 billion.<br />

8. Administration expenses<br />

During <strong>the</strong> year, business units throughout <strong>the</strong> system<br />

continued <strong>to</strong> reduce costs and clearly unders<strong>to</strong>od <strong>the</strong><br />

viewpoint of Investment Expenses being Incurred<br />

<strong>the</strong> criteria for <strong>the</strong> material consumption standard,<br />

standards on fixed asset investments, labour <strong>to</strong>ols,<br />

etc. in order <strong>to</strong> enable business units <strong>to</strong> shorten paper<br />

processing time and improve professionalism.<br />

9. Operating results<br />

In <strong>the</strong> context of adverse market conditions, and with its<br />

stance of sharing its cus<strong>to</strong>mers’ difficulties, <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

earned <strong>the</strong> targeted profits and secured <strong>the</strong> statu<strong>to</strong>ry<br />

During <strong>the</strong> process of its development, <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

has consistently combined three strategic objectives:<br />

Safe Operation – Efficient Business – Sustainable<br />

Development and complied with <strong>the</strong> State Bank of<br />

Vietnam’s regulations, while heading for international<br />

standards on <strong>financial</strong> safety.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> continued its strong restructuring of Assets<br />

on raising capital from residents and boosted capital<br />

growth from foreign <strong>financial</strong> institutions. At <strong>the</strong><br />

restructured its credit portfolio and securities investment<br />

portfolio. Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, <strong>Sacombank</strong> allocated capital and<br />

assessed <strong>the</strong> efficiency of capital use by business lines.<br />

ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2011<br />

Risk management and safe operation<br />

Risk management was implemented and unders<strong>to</strong>od<br />

consistently throughout <strong>the</strong> system of <strong>Sacombank</strong>. As<br />

a result, <strong>Sacombank</strong> fully met and complied with all <strong>the</strong><br />

applicable regulations of <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam. All<br />

business activities have been managed, alerted and<br />

moni<strong>to</strong>red in order <strong>to</strong> identify, manage and minimise<br />

thus enabling good corporate governance for <strong>the</strong> Bank in<br />

<strong>the</strong> context of high increases in bad debts and overdue debts.<br />

Restructuring<br />

Following <strong>the</strong> restructuring achievements at <strong>the</strong> Bank over<br />

recent years, <strong>Sacombank</strong> added a content component<br />

named “Corporate Governance Innovation” <strong>to</strong> its<br />

restructuring programme of “Organisation – Institution –<br />

Products – Financial Structure” in 2011. Accordingly, <strong>the</strong><br />

Restructuring Board of <strong>the</strong> Bank launched practical, indepth<br />

innovations relating <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> activities of <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s<br />

business units. The restructuring has contributed <strong>to</strong><br />

improving <strong>the</strong> business performance in line with <strong>the</strong> current<br />

market situation. The innovations include: launching of<br />

<strong>the</strong> programmes of “Reform of organisational structure<br />

and corporate governance at <strong>the</strong> head office, branches<br />

and transaction offices,” “Restructuring Subsidiaries in<br />

accordance with <strong>the</strong> Group’s Corporate Governance<br />

Model,” and <strong>the</strong> “One-s<strong>to</strong>p Transaction Model.” Most of<br />

<strong>the</strong>se programmes have been implemented and applied<br />

and have gradually shown <strong>the</strong>ir efficiency. Moreover, in<br />

procedure-making policies associated with information<br />

technology, and business processes were put in<strong>to</strong> actual use.<br />

Banking technology modernisation<br />

quality by establishing <strong>the</strong> Productivity & Quality Board<br />

and upgrading <strong>the</strong> Cus<strong>to</strong>mer Service Center as a contact<br />

point for coordination with relevant business units <strong>to</strong><br />

implement projects <strong>to</strong> conduct surveys on <strong>the</strong> needs and<br />

tastes of cus<strong>to</strong>mers, and a project for <strong>the</strong> innovation of<br />

PERFoRMAnCE RESULtS oF SUBSIDIARIES<br />

In 2011, based on <strong>the</strong> viewpoint of Safety and Efficiency in business administration, <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal <strong>consolidated</strong> assets of<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> changed slightly from <strong>the</strong> beginning of <strong>the</strong> year. As at 31 December 2011, <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal assets of <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

were worth VND141,469 billion, of which profitable assets represented 83.9%.<br />

Due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> difficulties in <strong>the</strong> domestic and world economies, as well as <strong>the</strong> stagnation of <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck market, <strong>the</strong> Bank<br />

faced significant challenges in its operation, such as difficulties in increasing equity capital <strong>to</strong> improve its <strong>financial</strong><br />

capacity and meet business development needs. However, with its strong reputation, business scale and consistent<br />

business performance, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has always been trusted by cus<strong>to</strong>mers, inves<strong>to</strong>rs, and shareholders. In particular,<br />

<strong>the</strong> professional and flexible management by <strong>the</strong> management teams at various levels in <strong>the</strong> Bank helped <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

achieve its equity capital target. Its <strong>to</strong>tal equity capital reached VND14,547 billion as at 31 December 2011, an increase of<br />

VND529 billion from <strong>the</strong> previous year.<br />

In 2011, local enterprises, including <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s Subsidiary Companies, were unable <strong>to</strong> avoid <strong>the</strong> impact of economic<br />

challenges. However, with <strong>the</strong>ir extensive experience accumulated over many years, <strong>the</strong> Subsidiaries actively<br />

implemented <strong>the</strong>ir defense and streng<strong>the</strong>ning plans and made use of every market opportunity <strong>to</strong> launch appropriate<br />

business solutions in order <strong>to</strong> exceed <strong>the</strong>ir assigned targets. In addition, product cross-sale activities between <strong>the</strong> Bank<br />

and its Subsidiaries were boosted <strong>to</strong> help ensure that satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry results were achieved. The business units shared and<br />

exploited each o<strong>the</strong>r’s existing cus<strong>to</strong>mer bases through a wide network at home and abroad. Through this process,<br />

practical economic benefits were obtained for each subsidiary and for <strong>Sacombank</strong> as a whole.<br />

The <strong>consolidated</strong> profit before tax in 2011 was VND2,771 billion, an increase of 7.6% from 2010.<br />

n <strong>Sacombank</strong>-SBA: This Subsidiary earned profit before tax of VND110.6 billion, or 106.1% of target. To achieve such<br />

good results, <strong>the</strong> Company actively and fully used its existing warehousing system and efficiently managed <strong>the</strong><br />

mortgage of commodities pledged by cus<strong>to</strong>mers;<br />

n <strong>Sacombank</strong>-SBR: Foreign exchange remittance revenue <strong>to</strong>taled US$1.57 billion, an increase of 20.6% from 2010,<br />

representing a 17.4% market share. This Subsidiary’s profit before tax was VND9.1 billion, an increase of 67.6% from<br />

2010, equal <strong>to</strong> 106.7% of target. During <strong>the</strong> year, through <strong>the</strong> implementation of solutions <strong>to</strong> attract remitted capital<br />

from traditional markets, building relationships with new partners, and <strong>the</strong> launch of a number of home delivery<br />

money transfer products and services, <strong>the</strong> Company enjoyed increases in <strong>to</strong>tal incomes;<br />

n <strong>Sacombank</strong>-SBL: This Subsidiary’s profit before tax was VND75.02 billion, an increase of 42.9% from 2010, exceeding<br />

<strong>the</strong> target by 7.2%. Despite many difficulties in <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> leasing market last year, SBL utilised all of its business<br />

CREDIt RAtInG RESULtS<br />

MOODY’S AND S&P’S RATE SACOMBANK AS POTENTIALLY STABLE<br />

Saigon Thuong Tin Commercial Joint S<strong>to</strong>ck Bank (<strong>Sacombank</strong>) has recently been rated by <strong>the</strong> two global credit rating<br />

organisations, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s (S&P’s), for <strong>the</strong> first time. The common comments of <strong>the</strong>se organisations<br />

were that <strong>Sacombank</strong> was potentially stable, reflecting <strong>the</strong> quality of its business performance and its adaptability before<br />

<strong>the</strong> challenges of <strong>the</strong> Vietnamese and world economies. The comments and ratings were based on <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s business<br />

position, <strong>financial</strong> capacity, profitability, liquidity ratios, credit risk management, and capital adequacy ratio in correlation<br />

with <strong>the</strong> economic environment of Vietnam in general and <strong>the</strong> banking industry in particular.<br />

That <strong>Sacombank</strong> invited <strong>the</strong> world’s leading credit rating organisations <strong>to</strong> rate <strong>the</strong> Bank is a clear indication of its strong<br />

and consistent commitment <strong>to</strong> <strong>financial</strong> information transparency <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> community of domestic and foreign inves<strong>to</strong>rs as<br />

well as its efforts <strong>to</strong> maintain and improve its quality, business performance and risk management <strong>to</strong>wards international<br />

standards and practices.<br />

Criteria Rating Meanings<br />

(Bank Financial Strength Ratings) E+/ potentially stable This result reflects:<br />

n Large market share in <strong>the</strong> commercial joint<br />

s<strong>to</strong>ck bank sec<strong>to</strong>r of Vietnam;<br />

n High quality of Assets with low non-performing<br />

loan ratio and <strong>the</strong> highest credit risk provision<br />

ratio among Vietnamese banks;<br />

n Large chartered capital.<br />

Domestic Currency Bank Deposits Rating B1/ potentially stable Among <strong>the</strong> 7 banks rated by Moody’s, <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

is one of <strong>the</strong> 3 banks with B1 rating.<br />

Foreign Currency Bank Deposits Rating B2/ potentially negative Potentially negative due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> national ceiling risk<br />

limit on foreign currency deposits.<br />

Potentially negative due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> national ceiling risk<br />

Criteria Rating Meanings<br />

Issue credit rating - ICR B+/B/stable S&P’s rated <strong>Sacombank</strong> based on <strong>the</strong> following fac<strong>to</strong>rs:<br />

n Strong business position;<br />

n Weak capital and earnings;<br />

n Moderate risk position;<br />

n Above-average funding ability and moderate liquidity.<br />

Stand-alone credit profile - SACP b+<br />

Anchor b The starting point for <strong>the</strong> credit rating of a Vietnamese<br />

commercial bank is ‘b’. Based on market developments in <strong>the</strong><br />

Vietnam market and <strong>the</strong> manner of operation of <strong>the</strong> banking<br />

market, it was shown that <strong>the</strong>re were still many macroeconomic<br />

shortcomings, which were far from approaching<br />

international practices. Such weaknesses have been<br />

mitigated thanks <strong>to</strong> impacts of adequate deposits and low<br />

dependence on outside capital resources.<br />

Business position Strong <strong>Sacombank</strong> is <strong>the</strong> second biggest private bank in Vietnam<br />

and earned a lending – funding market share of around<br />

3.5% <strong>to</strong> 4.5%. The leadership team of <strong>the</strong> Bank has<br />

progressive viewpoints and set out clear retail strategies. The<br />

Bank has made great efforts in innovation of new products.<br />

S&P’s rated <strong>the</strong> Bank’s diversification as moderate.<br />

Capital & Earnings Weak Capital and earnings were unclear elements in <strong>the</strong> ratings by<br />

S&P’s. S&P’s believed that <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s risk-adjusted capital<br />

ratio of 4% would not change within <strong>the</strong> next 12-18 months.<br />

That <strong>Sacombank</strong> kept a moderate credit growth would not<br />

increase credit expenses and was considered by S&P’s <strong>to</strong> be<br />

a fac<strong>to</strong>r affecting its profitability.<br />

Risk position Moderate Credit expenses were controlled with <strong>the</strong> defense strategy<br />

of <strong>Sacombank</strong> in order <strong>to</strong> minimise uncertainties from<br />

outside. <strong>Sacombank</strong> continued <strong>to</strong> make innovations and<br />

implemented sustainable risk management standards<br />

as well as applying his<strong>to</strong>rical experience <strong>to</strong> keep credit<br />

damages at low levels.<br />

Funding & Liquidity Above average<br />

and moderate<br />

According <strong>to</strong> S&P’s, <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s ratio of loans <strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mer<br />

deposits was better than that of <strong>the</strong> banking industry as<br />

a whole and better than a number of banks with larger<br />

business scale and networks. This reflected <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s<br />

effective use of its network of branches and its active<br />

funding efforts.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>’s liquidity was also moderate, shown by<br />

its holding of highly liquid assets, which are enough <strong>to</strong><br />

compensate for short-term loans<br />

STRATEGIC ORIENTATION FOR 2011-2020 PERIOD<br />

STRENGTHENING INTERNAL RESOURCES –<br />

DEVELOPING SUSTAINABLY<br />

2011 was a transitional year for <strong>the</strong> launch of <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> Development Strategies for <strong>the</strong> period<br />

of 2011-2015, with a vision up <strong>to</strong> 2020 approved by<br />

<strong>the</strong> 2012 General Meeting of Shareholders, with <strong>the</strong><br />

vision of becoming <strong>the</strong> “Top Retail Bank in <strong>the</strong> Region.”<br />

Having experienced <strong>financial</strong> crises in <strong>the</strong> region (1997)<br />

and <strong>the</strong> world (2008-2010), <strong>Sacombank</strong> has a thorough<br />

understanding of <strong>the</strong> many challenges that <strong>the</strong> finance<br />

and banking sec<strong>to</strong>r may face as <strong>the</strong> economy changes.<br />

Accordingly, in its development strategies for each period,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> always sets out appropriate Objectives and<br />

Solutions and a Roadmap, which are in line with <strong>the</strong><br />

development orientation of <strong>the</strong> Government and <strong>the</strong><br />

banking sec<strong>to</strong>r, and prepares back-up plans in response <strong>to</strong><br />

changes in <strong>the</strong> business environment. The focal point of <strong>the</strong><br />

development strategies for <strong>the</strong> new period of 2011-2020 is:<br />

“Streng<strong>the</strong>ning internal forces for developing sustainably.”<br />

2011-2012 period: Stabilising and streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>to</strong><br />

create a firm foundation<br />

Vietnam is becoming ever more integrated in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> world<br />

economy and will be influenced by <strong>the</strong> general changes<br />

in <strong>the</strong> global economy. The Vietnamese Government has<br />

been introducing market-oriented economic reforms,<br />

gradually eliminating protection for industries, especially<br />

in <strong>the</strong> finance and banking sec<strong>to</strong>r, in order for <strong>the</strong> economy<br />

<strong>to</strong> genuinely operate according <strong>to</strong> market rules. This will<br />

create significant challenges for Vietnamese commercial<br />

banks that find <strong>the</strong>mselves in competition with large<br />

global <strong>financial</strong> institutions that enter <strong>the</strong> domestic<br />

market. To <strong>Sacombank</strong>, such challenges are regarded as<br />

opportunities for development: competition will create <strong>the</strong><br />

motivation for <strong>Sacombank</strong> in particular and commercial<br />

banks in general <strong>to</strong> constantly improve <strong>the</strong>ir business<br />

model and management framework, improve service<br />

quality and employee productivity, and remain constantly<br />

innovative and creative <strong>to</strong> satisfy <strong>the</strong> needs of cus<strong>to</strong>mers,<br />

hence contributing <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> development of <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong><br />

and monetary market of <strong>the</strong> country.<br />

According <strong>to</strong> many domestic and foreign experts,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> is among <strong>the</strong> few banks that have shown<br />

strong and impressive growth in line with <strong>the</strong> development<br />

trends of <strong>the</strong> country in <strong>the</strong> era of economic integration.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> late 20th century, <strong>the</strong> name Saigon Thuong Tin<br />

or <strong>Sacombank</strong> was virtually unknown in <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong><br />

51<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

market of Vietnam. However, only just over a decade later,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> has become <strong>the</strong> Bank of <strong>the</strong> Indochina Region<br />

with a network covering almost two thirds of <strong>the</strong> country,<br />

from Ca Mau <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nor<strong>the</strong>astern mountainous region,<br />

along with its entry in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> markets of Laos<br />

and Cambodia over three years ago. The s<strong>to</strong>ry is not only<br />

about <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s large network, with 408 Transaction<br />

Offices <strong>to</strong>day, but also its impressive growth, showing <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>financial</strong> strength of a dynamic, private bank which is brave<br />

in thought and actions: its initial charter capital of VND3<br />

billion has grown <strong>to</strong> VND10,740 billion <strong>to</strong>day. All of this<br />

shows that, for <strong>the</strong> past 20 years, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has chosen<br />

<strong>the</strong> right development direction for itself and has a good,<br />

up-<strong>to</strong>-date vision.<br />

Those enterprises which have good business strategies<br />

and long-term vision and are able <strong>to</strong> set <strong>the</strong>ir position and<br />

business plans in line with <strong>the</strong> circumstances of <strong>the</strong> macroeconomy,<br />

after <strong>the</strong> stages of incorporation, emergence<br />

and strong development, will be able <strong>to</strong> overcome<br />

saturation and depression <strong>to</strong> approach a streng<strong>the</strong>ning<br />

(maintaining stability) and sustainable development<br />

period. <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s past and present experience shows<br />

that 2011-2012 will be a “streng<strong>the</strong>ning” period for <strong>the</strong> Bank<br />

with proactive adjustment of business expansion plans,<br />

focusing on maintaining all stable activities and/or proper<br />

growth in accordance with <strong>the</strong> growth rate of <strong>the</strong> banking<br />

industry and in harmony with <strong>the</strong> benefits of shareholders<br />

and cus<strong>to</strong>mers and ensuring <strong>the</strong> livelihoods and jobs of <strong>the</strong><br />

nearly 10,000 employees of <strong>the</strong> Bank. The Bank will <strong>the</strong>n<br />

launch business strategies that have proved <strong>to</strong> be strong in<br />

order <strong>to</strong> maintain its position as <strong>the</strong> Top Commercial Bank<br />

in Vietnam, or even <strong>the</strong> Top Commercial Bank in <strong>the</strong> Region.<br />

2011-2020 period: Prioritising Strategic Solutions in<br />

line with market moves<br />

(i) Human resources development strategies:<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> currently has almost 10,000 employees based<br />

in 47 provinces and cities across Vietnam as well as in<br />

Laos and Cambodia. <strong>Sacombank</strong> always considers human<br />

resources development <strong>to</strong> be one of <strong>the</strong> core values and<br />

<strong>the</strong> human resources as <strong>the</strong> most precious resources of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bank. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> human resources strategies of<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bank for <strong>the</strong> 2011-2020 period were developed with a<br />

view <strong>to</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>the</strong> quality of <strong>the</strong> existing workforce<br />

and attracting potential talent with professional and<br />

selective recruitment policies, fundamental training based


on job position/title, and proper assignment of jobs and<br />

segregation of responsibilities based on capabilities and<br />

professional skills. At <strong>the</strong> same time, <strong>the</strong> Bank’s human<br />

resources management policies in this period also target<br />

<strong>the</strong> building of a core leadership team <strong>to</strong> carry out <strong>the</strong><br />

mission of inspiring zeal and enthusiasm in employees and<br />

stimulating solidarity and dedication in each individual<br />

in order <strong>to</strong> create <strong>the</strong> strength for <strong>the</strong> Bank <strong>to</strong> develop<br />

sustainably. Hence, human resources will give <strong>the</strong> Bank a<br />

competitive edge in <strong>the</strong> new era of development: an era of<br />

intellectuality and creativity<br />

(ii) Technology strategies continue <strong>to</strong> be one of <strong>the</strong> four<br />

most important groups of strategies of <strong>Sacombank</strong> in<br />

this period. After investing in <strong>the</strong> advanced core banking<br />

platform in <strong>the</strong> previous period, from 2011, <strong>the</strong> Bank<br />

continued <strong>to</strong> upgrade its banking technology system<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> most modern version in order <strong>to</strong> (1) improve <strong>the</strong><br />

productivity of operational employees and diversify and<br />

modernise products and services like international banks;<br />

(2) improve <strong>the</strong> competitiveness and corporate governance<br />

capabilities of <strong>the</strong> Bank.<br />

(iii) Financial strategies of <strong>Sacombank</strong> in <strong>the</strong> 2011-2020<br />

period will serve as a firm platform for all activities of<br />

business development, network promotion, service quality<br />

improvement and productivity improvement, etc., <strong>to</strong> help<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bank deserve <strong>the</strong> title of “<strong>the</strong> Bank of <strong>the</strong> Indochina<br />

Region.” Accordingly, <strong>the</strong> Bank will restructure its Liability-<br />

Asset portfolio properly <strong>to</strong> boost profit growth; increase<br />

Total Assets and raised funds by looking for long-term<br />

capital resources at reasonable costs through issuance of<br />

bills of exchange and bonds in both domestic and overseas<br />

markets; improve <strong>the</strong> efficiency of use of capital resources<br />

through concentrating capital resources on core businesses,<br />

and use expenses reasonably and allocate resources<br />

properly for high-performance business activities.<br />

(iv) Network strategies are implemented with <strong>the</strong> aim<br />

of achieving <strong>the</strong> objectives of having 600 Transaction<br />

REPORTS<br />

Offices covering <strong>the</strong> whole terri<strong>to</strong>ry of Vietnam, as well as<br />

important provinces and cities of <strong>the</strong> two neighbouring<br />

countries of Laos and Cambodia by 2020, and of having<br />

Branches or Representative Offices of <strong>Sacombank</strong> set<br />

up in Malaysia, Singapore, <strong>the</strong> United States of America,<br />

Australia, Europe and some o<strong>the</strong>r countries in <strong>the</strong> ASEAN<br />

Region. Accordingly, <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s solutions will focus on<br />

streng<strong>the</strong>ning <strong>the</strong> existing network and expanding <strong>the</strong><br />

reach of Transaction Offices <strong>to</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r geographical areas <strong>to</strong><br />

increase business activities, improve competitive edge and<br />

gain market share and expand market coverage<br />

“The risk of all risks is <strong>the</strong> human fac<strong>to</strong>r”; “Technology<br />

is <strong>the</strong> result of intellectuality and creativity”; “Financial<br />

strength is a firm foundation for all growths”; “<strong>the</strong> Network<br />

is an effective <strong>to</strong>ol for expanding markets and increasing<br />

market share”, etc. These are <strong>the</strong> core solutions in <strong>the</strong> order<br />

of priority, <strong>to</strong> which <strong>Sacombank</strong> will pay special attention<br />

in <strong>the</strong> period of 2011-2020. On <strong>the</strong> basis of streng<strong>the</strong>ning<br />

<strong>the</strong> aforementioned key groups of Strategies, <strong>the</strong><br />

Strategies for Business – Product and Service Development<br />

– Corporate Governance, etc. have also been studied and<br />

developed by <strong>Sacombank</strong> with groups of solutions and<br />

action plans interlaced and accordant with <strong>the</strong> trends of<br />

<strong>the</strong> new era. Accordingly, specific business models, multiutility,<br />

modern and geographically specific products and<br />

services, as well as risk management policies according <strong>to</strong><br />

international standards, have also been studied, invested<br />

in and launched across <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s entire system in this<br />

period.<br />

Based on <strong>the</strong> results achieved, <strong>the</strong> identified shortcomings<br />

that need <strong>to</strong> be addressed and <strong>the</strong> lessons drawn from<br />

previous periods, and on research and analysis of strengths,<br />

weaknesses, opportunities and threats in <strong>the</strong> context of <strong>the</strong><br />

general difficulties in respect of <strong>the</strong> economy and modest<br />

internal forces of <strong>the</strong> Bank, <strong>Sacombank</strong> is very confident in<br />

its ability <strong>to</strong> achieve <strong>the</strong> objectives set out for <strong>the</strong> period of<br />

2011-2020 in order <strong>to</strong> carry out its mission: “Serving <strong>the</strong> nations.”<br />

“With proper and professional management by <strong>the</strong> Leaders at various levels, as well as <strong>the</strong> strong<br />

and creative efforts of thousands of employees, along with <strong>the</strong> love and support of millions of<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers, shareholders and joint venture and affiliation partners, it is certain that <strong>the</strong> ambition<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Founding Shareholders for a private Vietnamese bank <strong>to</strong> become <strong>the</strong> First Modern and<br />

Multi-functional Retail Bank in <strong>the</strong> Region will soon come true.”<br />

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE<br />

With <strong>the</strong> aim of becoming a regional bank, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has focused on<br />

building a modern information technology infrastructure system which<br />

is one of <strong>the</strong> conditions for ensuring safe and effective operation for<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> in <strong>the</strong> next 10 years.<br />

At <strong>Sacombank</strong>, most of operation processes, from management, administration,<br />

inspection, supervision <strong>to</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r functional operations, are<br />

based on modern information technology infrastructure.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> basis of <strong>the</strong> core banking system, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has met most of<br />

requirements of technical standards, functionalities, synchronism and<br />

PEOPLE ARE THE MOST VALUABLE<br />

RESOURCES<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> considers its human resources <strong>to</strong> be a core<br />

element in <strong>the</strong> four focal groups of solutions <strong>to</strong> improve<br />

competitiveness and meet development requirements<br />

in <strong>the</strong> new period. Based on this orientation, <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

analysed and identified <strong>the</strong> strengths and weaknesses<br />

of its existing resources in order <strong>to</strong> develop solutions <strong>to</strong><br />

improve <strong>the</strong> human resources management framework<br />

in accordance with <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s cultural features and <strong>to</strong><br />

minimise risks arising from <strong>the</strong> human fac<strong>to</strong>r.<br />

Developing an advanced management model<br />

With <strong>the</strong> strategic objective of becoming <strong>the</strong> Top Retail Bank<br />

in <strong>the</strong> Region based on <strong>the</strong> business philosophy of Safety<br />

– Efficiency – Sustainability, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has developed its<br />

Human Resources Management Strategies for <strong>the</strong> period<br />

of 2011-2020 with four key models as follows:<br />

(i) Modern recruitment model.<br />

(ii) Flexible management model.<br />

(iii) Attractive remuneration model.<br />

(iv) Potential career development model.<br />

55<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

From <strong>the</strong> functional aspect, <strong>the</strong>se four models represent<br />

solutions <strong>to</strong> difficult human resources problems for which<br />

not all Vietnamese enterprises can find comprehensive<br />

solutions. In terms of <strong>the</strong> connection aspect, although<br />

four different aspects of human resources are mentioned,<br />

including, namely (i) recruitment; (ii) personnel<br />

management; (iii) benefits and remuneration; (iv)<br />

training and development, <strong>the</strong> full career picture of an<br />

employee is described when he or she joins <strong>the</strong> “grand<br />

family of <strong>Sacombank</strong>.” At <strong>Sacombank</strong>, employees do not<br />

just have one job; <strong>the</strong>y have many career development<br />

opportunities.<br />

In addition, <strong>Sacombank</strong> makes constant efforts <strong>to</strong> care<br />

about job candidates. In order <strong>to</strong> do this, in addition<br />

<strong>to</strong> regular training in professional skills and capacity<br />

improvement and development of a cus<strong>to</strong>mer careoriented<br />

way of thinking for people in charge of human<br />

resources management tasks, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has launched<br />

two projects in parallel: incorporation of technology in<strong>to</strong><br />

recruitment <strong>to</strong>ols and research and application of a highly<br />

quantitative candidate ability evaluation system. With


<strong>the</strong> proper implementation of <strong>the</strong>se projects, combined<br />

with branding strategies in recruitment on <strong>the</strong> basis of<br />

corporate culture promotion <strong>to</strong> each market segment in<br />

flexible and effective forms, <strong>Sacombank</strong> is step-by-step<br />

affirming its strengths not only in enhancing brand value<br />

in <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> market, but also by winning <strong>the</strong> trust of and<br />

becoming a destination for potential job candidates in <strong>the</strong><br />

labour market.<br />

Respecting talent – Considering people as <strong>the</strong> base<br />

In most judgments about <strong>the</strong> future of Vietnam, <strong>the</strong> quality<br />

of human resources is always <strong>the</strong> biggest concern. The<br />

outdated education system has resulted in a lack of <strong>the</strong><br />

knowledge and skills required <strong>to</strong> meet <strong>the</strong> needs of <strong>the</strong><br />

era in many workers. Therefore, enterprises that directly<br />

employ human resources have repeatedly affirmed that<br />

<strong>the</strong> biggest obstacle <strong>to</strong> development is not finance, but<br />

human resources issues. With <strong>the</strong>se shortcomings in <strong>the</strong><br />

country’s human resources, enterprises have <strong>to</strong> retrain and<br />

rebuild <strong>the</strong>ir own human resources <strong>to</strong> meet <strong>the</strong>ir needs.<br />

Past experience has shown that enterprises with smart<br />

and effective human resources strategies will enjoy great<br />

achievements. In future, this will be even more important<br />

when knowledge and creativity and emotional intelligence<br />

become prerequisites for competition and development<br />

Approaching this <strong>to</strong>pical issue, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has built its<br />

own effective human resources development strategies<br />

in a distinctive manner. Creative, close and suitable<br />

human resources policies are one of <strong>the</strong> most important<br />

conditions for <strong>the</strong> Bank’s growth, in-depth development<br />

and sustainability. Experience from <strong>the</strong> last 20 years has<br />

given <strong>Sacombank</strong> a thorough lesson in human resources,<br />

and in any of its plans for <strong>the</strong> future, people are always<br />

placed at <strong>the</strong> centre.<br />

In <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s system <strong>to</strong>day, <strong>the</strong>re are nearly 10,000<br />

permanent employees, and each year, <strong>the</strong>re will be on<br />

average 1,000 new employees (<strong>the</strong> average growth<br />

rate for employees in recent years and <strong>the</strong> expected<br />

growth rate for <strong>the</strong> future is 10% per annum). With this<br />

personnel employment scale, a lack of close strategies<br />

from recruitment <strong>to</strong> training and retention would not only<br />

represent a challenge, but would also increase <strong>the</strong> threat of<br />

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE<br />

a human resources crisis, especially as <strong>the</strong> his<strong>to</strong>ry of human<br />

resources training for <strong>the</strong> finance and banking sec<strong>to</strong>r of<br />

Vietnam is <strong>to</strong>o short and thin.<br />

Looking at <strong>the</strong> full human resources picture of <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

<strong>to</strong>day and yesterday, especially <strong>the</strong> group of personnel at<br />

<strong>the</strong> level of branch direc<strong>to</strong>rs and managers of important<br />

departments or higher, now including 400 people, some<br />

of <strong>the</strong> most important and effective principles for “growing<br />

people” and retaining people can be recognised.<br />

n First, identification of potential and reliable, gifted<br />

people and giving <strong>the</strong>m big opportunities and attractive<br />

promotion roadmaps.<br />

n Second, excellent internal training capabilities<br />

n Third, sharing of values, vision and missions in a very<br />

thorough manner.<br />

n Fourth, “giving” and “receiving” in a satisfac<strong>to</strong>ry and<br />

balanced manner.<br />

n Fifth, a mechanism that creates an environment for<br />

individual creativity and individual roles, combined with<br />

strict compliance and discipline and collective strength.<br />

With this in mind, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has made efforts <strong>to</strong> build<br />

modern management models in order <strong>to</strong> not only maintain<br />

<strong>the</strong> existing human resources but also create <strong>the</strong> best<br />

conditions <strong>to</strong> boost <strong>the</strong> abilities of each employee – this<br />

will also build a firm foundation for <strong>the</strong> development of <strong>the</strong><br />

Bank.<br />

In principle, <strong>the</strong> research and development of <strong>the</strong> human<br />

resources management model at <strong>Sacombank</strong> still comply<br />

with basic scientific <strong>the</strong>ories. The difference is, according<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s consistent viewpoint “People are <strong>the</strong> most<br />

valuable resources of an enterprise,” <strong>the</strong> Bank has tried<br />

its best <strong>to</strong> create <strong>the</strong> best, most professional and most<br />

effective working environment; <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s workplace<br />

is where talented people ga<strong>the</strong>r <strong>to</strong> collectively deliver <strong>the</strong><br />

greatest strength of wisdom as a leverage for <strong>the</strong> strong<br />

growth and emergence of <strong>Sacombank</strong> in <strong>the</strong> coming years.<br />

KEY SOLUTIONS<br />

Information Technology (IT) Solutions are among <strong>the</strong> four<br />

important groups of strategies of <strong>Sacombank</strong>: (i) people, (ii)<br />

technology, (iii) capital and (iv) network. In different periods,<br />

<strong>the</strong> order of priority of <strong>the</strong>se four groups of strategies may<br />

change, but IT is being increasingly appreciated with time.<br />

Through its his<strong>to</strong>rical miles<strong>to</strong>nes, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has always<br />

applied modern technology <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> management and<br />

operation of its systems. With <strong>the</strong> aim of SAFE and EFFICIENT<br />

development, <strong>the</strong> Bank focused on launching <strong>the</strong> following<br />

IT solutions in 2011:<br />

n Upgrade payment systems: upgrade <strong>the</strong> payment<br />

systems according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> standards of <strong>the</strong> SWIFT<br />

payment organisation in order <strong>to</strong> increase safety in<br />

international payment transactions and improve<br />

service quality. In addition, o<strong>the</strong>r domestic payment<br />

systems have also been streng<strong>the</strong>ned and restructured<br />

step by step for more effective management, such as<br />

centralised management of <strong>the</strong> CIATD system across<br />

<strong>the</strong> entire network of <strong>the</strong> Bank, restructuring of <strong>the</strong><br />

payment systems in partnership with Citibank, HSBC,<br />

Deustch Bank, telephone companies, power supply and<br />

water supply companies, etc.;<br />

n Launch applications that help improve employee<br />

productivity: The e-office system aimed at developing<br />

a general information portal which provides employees<br />

with necessary information, research and work<br />

scheduling <strong>to</strong>ols, as well as incorporating paper business<br />

processes in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> system step by step in order <strong>to</strong><br />

minimise <strong>the</strong> time required for circulation of documents<br />

and reduce expenses. O<strong>the</strong>r management systems were<br />

also launched and au<strong>to</strong>mated, such as a system for<br />

managing important papers and publications, a cash<br />

management system, and a system for evaluation of<br />

employee KPIs;<br />

n Launch innovations in <strong>the</strong> processes in <strong>the</strong> core<br />

banking system, which is being upgraded <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> new<br />

version T24/R11, and o<strong>the</strong>r applications: requirements<br />

for improvement of processes, simplification of data<br />

entry steps and provision of additional management<br />

requirements in order <strong>to</strong> ensure safety and efficiency<br />

in <strong>the</strong> operation of <strong>the</strong> systems throughout 2011.<br />

57<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

Much attention was paid <strong>to</strong> solutions for refining and<br />

au<strong>to</strong>mating data entry processes for payment and<br />

money transfer subsystems inside and outside <strong>the</strong><br />

network. The au<strong>to</strong>matic payment function was fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />

improved for corporate and individual cus<strong>to</strong>mers<br />

through <strong>the</strong> Electronic Banking channel.<br />

n Launch a virtualisation system on a medium-level<br />

s<strong>to</strong>rage platform: <strong>the</strong> medium-level s<strong>to</strong>rage system with<br />

low investment cost and a large expansion capacity<br />

served as a good platform for building a virtualisation<br />

system and an initial platform for cloud-computing<br />

applications in banking. This system has helped <strong>the</strong><br />

Bank reduce its expenses for s<strong>to</strong>rage space, electricity,<br />

cooling system and system maintenance considerably.<br />

In addition, <strong>the</strong> virtualisation system enhances system<br />

safety and minimises <strong>the</strong> time required for launching<br />

new systems.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> basis of <strong>the</strong> technology platforms launched in 2011,<br />

<strong>the</strong> information technology systems of <strong>the</strong> Bank have been<br />

improved step by step and solutions have been developed<br />

<strong>to</strong> meet increasing operational requirements from 2011 <strong>to</strong><br />

2020. Key solutions include:<br />

n Diversify products and improve labour productivity.<br />

Continuously upgrade <strong>the</strong> T24 system as scheduled.<br />

Coordinate operations <strong>to</strong> constantly innovate<br />

manipulation processes and improve <strong>the</strong> productivity<br />

of operational employees;<br />

Launch products and services on <strong>the</strong> e-channel;<br />

n Improve competitiveness. Develop and complete <strong>the</strong><br />

Management Information System (MIS), heading for<br />

development of a decision making support system and<br />

a knowledge base of <strong>Sacombank</strong>;<br />

Plan and deploy <strong>the</strong> upgrade of network infrastructure<br />

<strong>to</strong> increase <strong>the</strong> speed of transaction processing and<br />

meet <strong>the</strong> requirements for launching modern products<br />

and services;


Data Center<br />

Launch <strong>the</strong> virtualisation system in order <strong>to</strong> enhance <strong>the</strong> readiness of systems, reducing electricity charge and s<strong>to</strong>rage<br />

space of servers at <strong>the</strong> Data Center.<br />

n Operate with safety and confidentiality. Launch disaster recovery plans (DRP) in order <strong>to</strong> enhance <strong>the</strong> operational<br />

stability of systems;<br />

Develop a back-up Data Center for DRP solutions and satisfying <strong>the</strong> Bank’s needs. Implement <strong>the</strong> ISO27001 standard<br />

for information security and confidentiality standardisation. Launch <strong>to</strong>ols for moni<strong>to</strong>ring IT services; launch <strong>the</strong><br />

Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) for standardisation of IT services.<br />

n Ensure cost efficiency in <strong>the</strong> provision of IT services. Enhance <strong>the</strong> usability and <strong>the</strong> ability <strong>to</strong> share information<br />

technology devices;<br />

Make IT investments in accordance with <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal investment cost of <strong>the</strong> owner (TCO), not only low starting costs.<br />

Improve <strong>the</strong> knowledge and skills of employees <strong>to</strong> make <strong>the</strong> best use of IT resources.<br />

n Enhance awareness of new information technology <strong>to</strong> ensure selection of <strong>the</strong> best solutions for <strong>the</strong> Bank in future.<br />

FINANCIAL RESTRUCTURING WITH THE AIM OF SAFETY AND EFFICIENCY<br />

In 2011, <strong>the</strong> Vietnamese economy faced many challenges due <strong>to</strong> domestic difficulties and international uncertainties.<br />

Macro-economic uncertainty and high inflation had a significant impact on <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> and monetary market. Affected<br />

by <strong>the</strong> central bank’s monetary tightening policy, many banks with low VND liquidity had <strong>to</strong> raise deposit interest rates<br />

sharply. The result was an increase in loan interest rates and a slowdown of business activities for enterprises. Numerous<br />

enterprises decreased <strong>the</strong>ir demand for loans, impacting <strong>the</strong> credit growth rate in 2011 and credit growth was much lower<br />

than in previous years. Consequently, <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> performance of many banks was significantly affected, and appropriate<br />

adjustments were made <strong>to</strong> adapt <strong>to</strong> this new business environment.<br />

In this economic environment, <strong>Sacombank</strong> actively and flexibly managed its business activities in line with <strong>the</strong> SAFE<br />

OPERATION – EFFICIENT BUSINESS & SUSTAINABILITY approach after years of high growth compared with <strong>the</strong> average<br />

growth rate of <strong>the</strong> banking industry. Therefore, <strong>the</strong> Bank’s growth rate in 2011 was controlled properly <strong>to</strong> achieve key<br />

targets and exceed <strong>the</strong> planned profit goals within predetermined safety guidelines.<br />

In 2012, <strong>the</strong> Bank anticipates a mixture of opportunities and challenges. The Government’s tight monetary policies are<br />

expected <strong>to</strong> continue, with interest rates <strong>to</strong> be gradually reduced in order <strong>to</strong> help enterprises <strong>to</strong> overcome difficulties,<br />

which means that banks will continue <strong>to</strong> face difficulties in attracting deposits. In addition, permissible limited credit<br />

growth (around 15%-17%) will present a difficult problem for banks in terms of meeting cus<strong>to</strong>mer demand and achieving<br />

business performance goals.<br />

On <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r hand, bad debts and bad debt handling will continue <strong>to</strong> be a <strong>to</strong>pical issue for <strong>the</strong> banking industry in 2012,<br />

as <strong>the</strong> standard bad debt ratio is believed <strong>to</strong> be much higher than <strong>the</strong> quoted ratio of 3.4%. Therefore, safety and performance<br />

indices, such as Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), rates of return (ROE, ROA), bad debt ratio and loan portfolio, etc. will be<br />

closely controlled by <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam. Accordingly, <strong>the</strong> bad debt ratio and safety indices of each bank and <strong>the</strong><br />

banking industry as a whole may have an impact on people’s trust, and this is likely <strong>to</strong> be an important fac<strong>to</strong>r in <strong>the</strong><br />

restructuring of <strong>the</strong> banking sec<strong>to</strong>r and individual banks in future. In parallel, <strong>the</strong> requirement that banks improve <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

<strong>financial</strong> capacity in line with <strong>the</strong> roadmap for accession <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> WTO, <strong>the</strong> business performance pressure, <strong>the</strong> requirement<br />

<strong>to</strong> enhance operating safety standards, etc. are urgent problems that need early resolutions; and <strong>the</strong> merger-consolidation<br />

solution for certain weaker banks is likely <strong>to</strong> be an indispensable trend in future.<br />

Those banks that can adapt <strong>to</strong> market developments, set out proper corporate resolutions and restructuring programs,<br />

and capitalise on <strong>the</strong> opportunities will improve <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>financial</strong> position and competitive edge, thus creating breakthroughs<br />

in <strong>the</strong> new development period.<br />

OBJECTIVES AND MANAGERIAL RESOLUTIONS OF SACOMBANK<br />

In order <strong>to</strong> build a firm foundation, streng<strong>the</strong>n internal capabilities and achieve confident advancements, in its<br />

Development Strategies for 2011-2015, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has set out some key business directions for <strong>the</strong> new period in order<br />

<strong>to</strong> restructure its asset portfolio and <strong>financial</strong> structure. The specific objectives and resolutions include:<br />

Objectives<br />

1. Increase equity capital on <strong>the</strong> basis of making <strong>the</strong> most of supplementary capital, and use this capital effectively in<br />

order <strong>to</strong> quickly improve <strong>financial</strong> capacity and operating safety indices<br />

2. Grow <strong>to</strong>tal assets and increase <strong>the</strong> percentage of profitable assets; constantly improve capital use efficiency by<br />

restructuring Assets - Liabilities with concentration of capital resources on core business activities;<br />

3. Strive <strong>to</strong> achieve a Rate of Return not lower than <strong>the</strong> average rate of <strong>the</strong> group of <strong>to</strong>p banks in Vietnam;<br />

4. Keep <strong>financial</strong> indices and operating safety indices compliant with <strong>the</strong> regulations of <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam<br />

and international standards.<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011 60


FInAnCIAL MAnAGEMEnt<br />

RESOLUTIONS<br />

1. Reasonable increase in equity capital: According <strong>to</strong><br />

international and Vietnamese standards, one of <strong>the</strong><br />

areas that needs management’s attention is equity<br />

capital in order <strong>to</strong> improve <strong>the</strong> Capital Adequacy<br />

Ratio (CAR). The goal is <strong>to</strong> improve <strong>the</strong> Bank’s <strong>financial</strong><br />

capacity <strong>to</strong> overcome market difficulties. In equity<br />

capital management, a reasonable growth rate is always<br />

set out in order <strong>to</strong> ensure <strong>financial</strong> capacity. The success<br />

of <strong>the</strong> capital increase strategy in <strong>the</strong> past should be<br />

promoted again with mobilisation of capital from<br />

residents from all walks of life, as well as all domestic<br />

and foreign economic sec<strong>to</strong>rs. The Bank’s commitment<br />

is <strong>to</strong> increase shareholders’ value, maintain a stable<br />

dividend distribution rate, and ensure that <strong>the</strong> price of<br />

its shares grows at a better rate than <strong>the</strong> market.<br />

2. Development of supplementary capital <strong>to</strong><br />

increase equity capital: Taking advantage of <strong>the</strong><br />

brand reputation and creating and streng<strong>the</strong>ning<br />

relationships with international <strong>financial</strong> institutions<br />

<strong>to</strong> attract supplementary capital at reasonable costs<br />

in order <strong>to</strong> diversify capital resources, making stable<br />

use of capital and increasing operating safety indices.<br />

This is an important funding source <strong>to</strong> increase equity<br />

capital and is also a long-term foreign currency capital<br />

resource at reasonable costs, with which <strong>the</strong> Bank can<br />

meet capital needs of <strong>the</strong> economy.<br />

3. Restructuring of Assets and Liabilities in order <strong>to</strong><br />

increase <strong>the</strong> percentage of profitable Assets:<br />

n For Liabilities: Diversifying <strong>the</strong> liabilities structure in<br />

order <strong>to</strong> stabilise capital resources for business needs,<br />

especially focusing on medium and long-term capital<br />

resources through <strong>the</strong> following measures: (i) Creating<br />

a mechanism for maintaining and developing capital<br />

resources mobilised from economic organisations<br />

and residents, with attention paid <strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers that<br />

have large and stable operational scale; (ii) Promoting<br />

<strong>the</strong> Bank’s network strengths, especially <strong>the</strong> system of<br />

Transaction Offices, in order <strong>to</strong> attract stable capital<br />

resources from <strong>the</strong> local communities; (iii) Utilising<br />

trusted funds from foreign <strong>financial</strong> institutions; (iv)<br />

Studying capital markets and selecting <strong>the</strong> right time<br />

<strong>to</strong> gradually increase <strong>the</strong> percentage of issued bonds<br />

in order <strong>to</strong> stabilise capital resources in line with <strong>the</strong><br />

current and future development trends of <strong>the</strong> economy.<br />

61<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

n For Assets: Developing a reasonable and targeted<br />

structure for each Asset item: (i) Restructuring and<br />

diversifying <strong>the</strong> loan portfolio, better managing<br />

changeable industries; (ii) Continuing dispersed<br />

lending and import/export financing; improving <strong>the</strong><br />

ATM and POS systems; (iii) Reviewing and re-allocating<br />

Assets in a reasonable manner, and minimising inefficient<br />

assets in order <strong>to</strong> optimise <strong>the</strong> Bank’s capital structure.<br />

4. Increase in asset use efficiency: Managing quality and<br />

increasing asset use efficiency through <strong>the</strong> following<br />

ratios: loan <strong>to</strong> deposit ratio, bad debt ratio, rate of<br />

profitable assets <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal assets; Rate of Return On<br />

Equity (ROE); Rate of Return on Assets (ROA); Earnings<br />

Per Share Ratio (EPS), etc.<br />

5. Reasonable allocation of resources <strong>to</strong> each<br />

core business sec<strong>to</strong>r: (i) Conducting analysis and<br />

assessment <strong>to</strong> obtain grounds for optimal allocation of<br />

capital resources in line with <strong>the</strong> strengths and features<br />

of each business sec<strong>to</strong>r; (ii) Centralising coordination<br />

among all business sec<strong>to</strong>rs of <strong>Sacombank</strong> for smooth<br />

management and for <strong>the</strong> best business performance; (iii)<br />

Allocating costs by product lines and programs based<br />

on <strong>the</strong> principle of accurate and adequate calculation <strong>to</strong><br />

obtain grounds for <strong>the</strong> assessment of <strong>the</strong> effectiveness<br />

of resource allocation and <strong>the</strong> introduction of proper<br />

reward policies.<br />

6. Market-oriented NIM (net interest margin):<br />

Interest income represents a major percentage of <strong>the</strong><br />

income from operating activities at Vietnamese banks<br />

currently, so a targeted NIM should be determined for<br />

each period in order <strong>to</strong> establish an income structure<br />

optimisation resolution. In addition, periodic reviews<br />

of <strong>the</strong> asset portfolio should be conducted <strong>to</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />

increase <strong>the</strong> percentage of profitable assets. For nonprofitable<br />

assets (except for fixed assets), it is necessary<br />

<strong>to</strong> determine <strong>the</strong> time of holding and conversion in<strong>to</strong><br />

cash, consider and determine <strong>the</strong> maximum value<br />

of such assets and prevent additional non-profitable<br />

assets from arising.<br />

7. Compliance with <strong>financial</strong> and operating safety indices:<br />

n Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR): (i) Reviewing and<br />

restructuring <strong>the</strong> Bank’s separate and <strong>consolidated</strong>


asset portfolio with risks with <strong>the</strong> aim of restricting<br />

<strong>the</strong> growth of assets with a risk coefficient higher<br />

than 100%; (ii) Using Equity Capital for <strong>the</strong> “core”<br />

operating activities of <strong>the</strong> Bank, as <strong>the</strong> first priority;<br />

(iii) Increasing charter capital as scheduled and<br />

taking advantage of <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s brand reputation<br />

<strong>to</strong> boost negotiations with international <strong>financial</strong><br />

institutions <strong>to</strong> increase supplementary capital at<br />

reasonable interest rates;<br />

n Liquidity: Ensuring optimal profitability, high liquidity<br />

and strict compliance with regulations, as well as <strong>the</strong><br />

ability <strong>to</strong> pay <strong>financial</strong> obligations due and maintain<br />

reasonable reserves. In addition <strong>to</strong> ensuring that<br />

cash and cash equivalents are properly maintained, a<br />

proper governmental bond portfolio should be held<br />

continuously in order <strong>to</strong> ensure that liquidity is always<br />

coordinated in an absolutely safe manner.<br />

n Corporate governance: (i) Closely managing operating<br />

risks; (ii) Moni<strong>to</strong>ring ratios related <strong>to</strong> expenses and<br />

incomes in order <strong>to</strong> assess and control expenses<br />

in an efficient manner; (iii) Optimising operating<br />

performance and efficiency through productivity<br />

criteria for all business units across <strong>the</strong> Bank’s system;<br />

(iv) Managing, supervising and developing <strong>the</strong><br />

Bank’s network comprehensively <strong>to</strong> make <strong>the</strong> best<br />

use of network advantages, especially <strong>the</strong> system of<br />

Transaction Offices.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> increasing standardisation and restructuring<br />

activities in line with economic changes, and with<br />

its rich experience in development, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has<br />

boosted its strengths; grasped opportunities <strong>to</strong> set<br />

out <strong>financial</strong> restructuring objectives and resolutions<br />

in order <strong>to</strong> improve itself; minimised business threats;<br />

and made <strong>the</strong> necessary preparations <strong>to</strong> step in<strong>to</strong> a<br />

new development period.<br />

“<strong>Sacombank</strong>’s core business strategy is <strong>to</strong> always ensure operating safety and business<br />

performance at a stable and proper growth rate for each period. In <strong>the</strong> coming years, this strategy<br />

will be fur<strong>the</strong>r promoted in order <strong>to</strong> enhance <strong>the</strong> Bank’s position and competitive ability in <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>financial</strong> and monetary market. <strong>Sacombank</strong> is making contributions <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> sound development<br />

of <strong>the</strong> banking sec<strong>to</strong>r of Vietnam during this period of restructuring and increasingly extensive<br />

and intensive international integration.”<br />

Network and strategic vision<br />

With <strong>the</strong> aim of becoming <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p modern multifunctional<br />

retail bank in Vietnam, from its inception,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> has always had <strong>the</strong> ambition of bringing its<br />

products and services <strong>to</strong> all people in all parts of Vietnam.<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> pinpointed Network Development as one of<br />

<strong>the</strong> four key solutions for realising this aspiration in its<br />

Development Strategies for <strong>the</strong> period of 2001 – 2010 <strong>to</strong><br />

keep pace with <strong>the</strong> general development trends of <strong>the</strong><br />

economy in order <strong>to</strong> increase market share, expand its<br />

markets and create a foundation for future sustainable<br />

development.<br />

Over <strong>the</strong> past 20 years, well aware of <strong>the</strong> strategic<br />

importance of network expansion, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has<br />

made great efforts <strong>to</strong> overcome <strong>the</strong> many difficulties<br />

and challenges on its development journey, constantly<br />

investing resources in specific geographical areas and<br />

applying suitable and flexible solutions <strong>to</strong> exploit <strong>the</strong><br />

potential of <strong>the</strong> local markets <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> maximum.<br />

As a result, <strong>the</strong> network development strategy for<br />

<strong>the</strong> past 10 years has been a complete success, and<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> has become <strong>the</strong> commercial joint s<strong>to</strong>ck bank<br />

with <strong>the</strong> largest business network in Vietnam in terms of<br />

quantity and quality, as reflected by <strong>the</strong> achievement of<br />

<strong>the</strong> following important miles<strong>to</strong>nes:<br />

n On 11 Oc<strong>to</strong>ber 2007, <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s network covered<br />

13 provinces and cities in <strong>the</strong> Southwestern Region;<br />

n On 28 December 2007, <strong>Sacombank</strong> covered 21<br />

provinces and cities in <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn part of <strong>the</strong><br />

Central Coastal Region, <strong>the</strong> Sou<strong>the</strong>astern Region and<br />

<strong>the</strong> Central Highlands Region;<br />

n <strong>Sacombank</strong> opened <strong>the</strong> first branch of a Vietnamese<br />

commercial bank in Laos (on 12 December 2008) and<br />

Cambodia (on 23 June 2009).<br />

By late 2011, <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s network consisted of 408<br />

transaction offices, and <strong>the</strong> Bank had a presence in 47 of<br />

<strong>the</strong> 63 provinces and cities of Vietnam as well as in Laos<br />

and Cambodia.<br />

Network development requires significant investment in<br />

terms of capital, infrastructure and facilities and human<br />

resources, so it has a marked impact on <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong><br />

indices and business performance of <strong>the</strong> Bank in <strong>the</strong> short<br />

term. However, thanks <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> consistent implementation<br />

of systematic and careful market surveys and research<br />

in order <strong>to</strong> select <strong>the</strong> right operational areas that match<br />

<strong>the</strong> potential and <strong>the</strong> growth rate of <strong>the</strong> local economy;<br />

<strong>the</strong> launch of diverse and multi-utility products and<br />

services which suit <strong>the</strong> specific characteristics of each<br />

geographical area and whole-hearted, thoughtful and<br />

professional cus<strong>to</strong>mer service and care by its employees,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>’s network soon proves effective and efficient.<br />

Most transaction offices were in a profitable position after<br />

six months’ operation, making significant contributions <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> general development of <strong>the</strong> entire Bank. In addition,<br />

with its large network, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has brought people<br />

<strong>the</strong> opportunity <strong>to</strong> access capital resources and banking<br />

products and services, meeting <strong>the</strong> increasingly high<br />

demands of consumers, as well as providing assistance<br />

<strong>to</strong> enterprises in business development. Therefore,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> has become a familiar and reliable brand in<br />

<strong>the</strong> hearts of people and economic sec<strong>to</strong>rs in all parts<br />

of <strong>the</strong> country, and affirmed its position and reputation<br />

<strong>to</strong> domestic and foreign <strong>financial</strong> institutions and<br />

organisations.<br />

Solutions for boosting network strengths<br />

With socio-economic development, people’s living<br />

standards have improved, and requirements for banking<br />

products and services have become increasingly diverse.<br />

Therefore, banks with large networks will have a greater<br />

advantage in terms of competition and increasing market share.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> coming period, sticking <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> strategic orientation<br />

initially set out, <strong>Sacombank</strong> will continue <strong>to</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>n<br />

and develop its business network. The network will be<br />

used as leverage for growing revenues through radical<br />

solutions with proper prioritisation and accordant with<br />

existing resources in order <strong>to</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r improve business<br />

performance with <strong>the</strong> following detailed solutions:<br />

n First: comprehensive standardisation of <strong>the</strong> system<br />

of existing transaction offices, creating a uniform<br />

brand identity in <strong>the</strong> eyes of cus<strong>to</strong>mers <strong>to</strong> improve<br />

competitiveness;<br />

n Second: continuation of research and surveys for<br />

<strong>the</strong> establishment of new transaction offices, and<br />

streng<strong>the</strong>ning or relocation of low-performing<br />

transaction offices <strong>to</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r operational areas;


n Third: building <strong>the</strong> business network as a network of<br />

sales units that provide diverse products and services,<br />

especially boosting operational scale at Transaction<br />

Offices like downsized Branches, making transaction<br />

offices active in growing incomes;<br />

n Fourth: improvement of service quality <strong>to</strong> maintain<br />

and develop a stable cus<strong>to</strong>mer base comprising<br />

local residents, development of a professional sales<br />

and service development culture, and attracting<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers with high-quality products and impeccable<br />

service;<br />

n Fifth: constant upgrading of <strong>the</strong> banking technology<br />

systems; maximising <strong>the</strong> exploitation of technological<br />

applications in corporate governance activities;<br />

development of new products, especially electronic<br />

banking products, on <strong>the</strong> basis of modern technology<br />

<strong>to</strong> provide more convenience <strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers and<br />

improve employee productivity;<br />

In short, <strong>the</strong> network development activities throughout<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong>’s his<strong>to</strong>ry have not only created a firm<br />

foundation for <strong>the</strong> coming period, but also facilitate<br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mer access <strong>to</strong> modern <strong>financial</strong> products and<br />

RISK MAnAGEMEnt<br />

IMPROVEMENT OF EFFICIENCY IN COMPREHENSIVE RISK MANAGEMENT<br />

Credit risk management in accordance with<br />

international standards and practices<br />

Facing increasing credit risks, <strong>Sacombank</strong> applied a<br />

number of synchronous credit risk management solutions<br />

in 2011 in accordance with <strong>the</strong> regulations of <strong>the</strong> State<br />

Bank of Vietnam and international standards. The details<br />

are as follows:<br />

n Issued credit risk management policies covering all<br />

matters related <strong>to</strong> credit granting, including: applicable<br />

conditions, and methods of inspection, supervision,<br />

management and recovery of loan debts in order <strong>to</strong><br />

limit <strong>the</strong> risks for each specific cus<strong>to</strong>mer.<br />

n Developed an advanced internal credit rating system<br />

in cooperation with <strong>the</strong> international audit firm,<br />

Ernst & Young, on <strong>the</strong> basis of <strong>the</strong> credit rating model<br />

recommended by <strong>the</strong> advisor, IFC, <strong>to</strong> <strong>Sacombank</strong> in<br />

2005. As a result, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has improved its internal<br />

credit rating system in accordance with <strong>the</strong> new<br />

regulations on qualitative classification of debts in<br />

<strong>the</strong> policies issued by <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam (SBV)<br />

in 2011. This system also develops criteria for scoring<br />

credit ratings for cus<strong>to</strong>mers by groups of industries for<br />

which some distinctive credit products of <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

are designed. This is an effective <strong>to</strong>ol for evaluating<br />

borrowers and making lending decisions and it helps<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> assess accurately <strong>the</strong> risk exposure of each<br />

loan and classify debts in accordance with international<br />

practices, and serves as <strong>the</strong> basis for improving <strong>the</strong><br />

quality of credit management and proper provision<br />

making. In 2012, <strong>Sacombank</strong> will continue <strong>to</strong> develop<br />

<strong>the</strong> Expected Default Frequency of cus<strong>to</strong>mers, hence<br />

determining <strong>the</strong> amount of exposure created by<br />

each cus<strong>to</strong>mer in order <strong>to</strong> prepare plans <strong>to</strong> help <strong>the</strong><br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers and make provision for risks immediately<br />

upon grant of credit.<br />

65<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

n Issued regulations relating <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> system for<br />

decentralisation of credit grant decisions <strong>to</strong> ensure that<br />

all matters relevant <strong>to</strong> credit risks are communicated<br />

and dealt with thoroughly from <strong>the</strong> headquarters <strong>to</strong><br />

branches. The decision-making system was developed<br />

based on <strong>the</strong> experience, capabilities, knowledge and<br />

ethics of <strong>the</strong> individuals involved in <strong>the</strong> process of<br />

credit grant decision-making, and, above all, <strong>the</strong> risk<br />

appetite of <strong>the</strong> Bank.<br />

Moreover, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has built and successfully operated<br />

<strong>the</strong> Credit Limit Supervision Model, <strong>the</strong> IFRS-based Risk<br />

Provisioning System, <strong>the</strong> Risk Fac<strong>to</strong>r Supervision Model, and<br />

a technology-based money filtering and anti-laundering<br />

process according <strong>to</strong> international standards, etc. Thanks <strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> above models and systems, <strong>the</strong> Bank can manage risks<br />

effectively in <strong>the</strong> context of high increases in bad debts and<br />

overdue debts.<br />

Based on <strong>the</strong> principle of setting Safety as <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p-priority<br />

objective, <strong>the</strong> risk management activities have been carried<br />

out carefully by <strong>Sacombank</strong> <strong>to</strong> create <strong>the</strong> best foundation<br />

for overcoming challenges, grasping suitable business<br />

opportunities in <strong>the</strong> market, boosting business performance<br />

and fulfilling its business plan in 2011. <strong>Sacombank</strong> has also<br />

promoted <strong>the</strong> role of Committees/Sub-committees in <strong>the</strong><br />

prevention and handling of overdue debts at <strong>the</strong> Head Office<br />

and in <strong>the</strong> Regions in order <strong>to</strong> provide timely alerts and<br />

solutions <strong>to</strong> overdue debt threats, thus succeeding in keeping<br />

<strong>the</strong> bad debt ratio at only 0.56% and <strong>the</strong> overdue debt ratio<br />

0.86% of <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>tal lending balance in 2011.<br />

Priority for liquidity and market risk management<br />

In 2011, <strong>Sacombank</strong> successfully developed and applied a<br />

liquidity risk and interest risk management model<br />

recommended by its advisor, PwC. Based on this model,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> was able <strong>to</strong> forecast highly accurately <strong>the</strong> trends<br />

of cash flows, interest rates, and cus<strong>to</strong>mers’ past behaviours,<br />

so that it could make proper adjustments <strong>to</strong> its business<br />

activities in each period.<br />

“At <strong>Sacombank</strong>, most employees involved in <strong>the</strong> business activities of <strong>the</strong> Bank are carefully<br />

selected and trained systematically and scientifically in both professional knowledge and business<br />

ethics in order <strong>to</strong> provide a workforce that is skilled, honest and responsible.”


Results for some operational safety indices of <strong>Sacombank</strong> as at 31 December 2011<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> Stipulated by SBV<br />

Percentage of current portion of medium/long-term loans 22.36% =9%<br />

The human risk fac<strong>to</strong>r is set at <strong>the</strong> <strong>to</strong>p<br />

On <strong>the</strong> basis of <strong>the</strong> awareness that “<strong>the</strong> risk of all risks is <strong>the</strong> human fac<strong>to</strong>r,” <strong>Sacombank</strong> has set out specific groups of<br />

solutions in order <strong>to</strong> minimise <strong>the</strong> risks relating <strong>to</strong> business ethics. The details are as follows<br />

- First: focus on recruitment and professional training.<br />

- Second: create a transparent working environment;<br />

- Third: associate controls with processes, rules, decentralisation and application of information technology;<br />

- Fourth: fair and timely rewards and punishments..<br />

At <strong>Sacombank</strong>, most employees involved in <strong>the</strong> business activities of <strong>the</strong> Bank are carefully selected and trained<br />

systematically and scientifically in both professional knowledge and business ethics in order <strong>to</strong> provide a workforce<br />

that is skilled, honest and responsible.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> aim of fur<strong>the</strong>r improving <strong>the</strong> quality of business operations, last year, <strong>Sacombank</strong> focused resources on<br />

streng<strong>the</strong>ning, correction, improvement and restructuring and has achieved praiseworthy results. This has created a<br />

firm ground for <strong>Sacombank</strong> <strong>to</strong> develop Safely and Efficiently in <strong>the</strong> coming years.<br />

INVESTOR RELATIONS<br />

In line with its Transparency Strategies, <strong>Sacombank</strong> is<br />

committed <strong>to</strong> protecting <strong>the</strong> benefits of its shareholders<br />

and inves<strong>to</strong>rs. This business philosophy has received strong<br />

support from inves<strong>to</strong>rs and served as a basis for inves<strong>to</strong>rs<br />

<strong>to</strong> accompany <strong>Sacombank</strong> for <strong>the</strong> long term in its<br />

development journey.<br />

At <strong>Sacombank</strong>, great progress has been made in inves<strong>to</strong>r<br />

relations activities, from performing <strong>the</strong> basic function of<br />

required disclosure of information, <strong>to</strong> actively building and<br />

developing inves<strong>to</strong>r relations <strong>to</strong> enhance <strong>the</strong> brand value<br />

and image of <strong>Sacombank</strong> in <strong>the</strong> market. Always treating <strong>the</strong><br />

inves<strong>to</strong>rs’ benefits as its highest priority, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has<br />

constantly standardised <strong>the</strong> processes relating <strong>to</strong> its inves<strong>to</strong>r<br />

relations activities in order <strong>to</strong> ensure that all of its activities<br />

are conducted in line with <strong>the</strong> high standards required of a<br />

listed organisation, especially when <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck market is on<br />

71<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

its way <strong>to</strong> comprehensive integration under WTO<br />

commitments.<br />

In 2011, <strong>Sacombank</strong> continued <strong>to</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>n and develop<br />

professional inves<strong>to</strong>r relations activities according <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

following strategies:<br />

n Active provision of information<br />

With complicated developments in <strong>the</strong> economy,<br />

especially <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck market of Vietnam, in 2011, inves<strong>to</strong>rs<br />

have been increasingly careful in <strong>the</strong>ir investment<br />

decisions. Most medium/long-term inves<strong>to</strong>rs only select<br />

blue-chip shares <strong>to</strong> invest in because of <strong>the</strong>ir safe basic<br />

<strong>financial</strong> indica<strong>to</strong>rs. STB shares, <strong>the</strong> most liquid shares<br />

in <strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck market, have always attracted a lot of<br />

inves<strong>to</strong>rs.


As a large and responsible listed organisation, <strong>Sacombank</strong><br />

has primarily focused on actively providing information<br />

<strong>to</strong> inves<strong>to</strong>rs and answering all <strong>the</strong>ir questions. Each<br />

quarter, <strong>Sacombank</strong> issues <strong>the</strong> bilingual Inves<strong>to</strong>rs Bulletin<br />

in Vietnamese and English <strong>to</strong> provide updates on <strong>the</strong><br />

macro-economy and new regulations and policies of <strong>the</strong><br />

State Bank of Vietnam, and <strong>financial</strong> indica<strong>to</strong>rs of<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> which are of interest <strong>to</strong> domestic and foreign<br />

inves<strong>to</strong>rs such as: <strong>the</strong> lending structure, growth of <strong>to</strong>tal<br />

assets, profit, capital raised, debt balance, etc. In addition,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> has frequently met with domestic and foreign<br />

investment funds; conducted in-depth research on <strong>the</strong><br />

needs and expectations of inves<strong>to</strong>rs, and answered<br />

questions and provided prompt feedback in response<br />

<strong>to</strong> inquiries from <strong>the</strong> authorities and inves<strong>to</strong>rs, etc. All of<br />

<strong>the</strong>se activities were aimed at best meeting inves<strong>to</strong>rs’<br />

need for information.<br />

n Effective management of information on shares<br />

As STB shares are among <strong>the</strong> most attractive shares on<br />

<strong>the</strong> s<strong>to</strong>ck market of Vietnam, information relating <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

shares must be transparent and accurate because all<br />

inves<strong>to</strong>r decisions need <strong>to</strong> be based on genuine, sufficient<br />

and reliable information. Therefore, <strong>to</strong> <strong>Sacombank</strong>, <strong>the</strong><br />

management of information is no longer just an<br />

obligation under <strong>the</strong> laws, but represents <strong>the</strong> responsibility<br />

of a listed organisation <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> community of inves<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />

In 2011, <strong>the</strong> key task in terms of inves<strong>to</strong>r relations was<br />

<strong>to</strong> boost management of information relating <strong>to</strong> STB<br />

shares, <strong>to</strong> maintain <strong>the</strong> value of STB shares in <strong>the</strong> market.<br />

The Inves<strong>to</strong>r Relations team has actively and closely<br />

moni<strong>to</strong>red all information in <strong>the</strong> market that is related<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>Sacombank</strong> and STB shares and implemented timely<br />

solutions <strong>to</strong> minimise damage <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> assets of <strong>the</strong><br />

shareholders and inves<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />

In addition, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has excelled in its role in modern<br />

inves<strong>to</strong>r relations activities through active participation<br />

in interviews conducted by newspapers and television<br />

reporters, thus exerting a positive influence on<br />

shareholders and inves<strong>to</strong>rs. As <strong>the</strong> highest representatives<br />

for <strong>the</strong> benefits of shareholders, with <strong>the</strong>ir position and<br />

reputation, leaders of <strong>the</strong> Bank have <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

trust of shareholders and inves<strong>to</strong>rs in <strong>Sacombank</strong> by<br />

showing up in a timely manner whenever necessary.<br />

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE<br />

TASKS AND SOLUTIONS FOR 2012<br />

In 2012, with increasingly intensive international integration,<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> has made ready plans <strong>to</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>r develop inves<strong>to</strong>r<br />

relations activities, and implement and promote additional<br />

functions that are necessary for a modern and dynamic listed<br />

organisation as follows:<br />

n Improving Inves<strong>to</strong>r Relations activities<br />

<strong>Sacombank</strong> is carrying out a comprehensive overhaul<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Inves<strong>to</strong>r Relations Section on its official website.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>r, a lot of new content will be developed and <strong>the</strong><br />

quality of information will be improved. This will facilitate<br />

access by shareholders, inves<strong>to</strong>rs and <strong>financial</strong> analysts<br />

<strong>to</strong> sufficient, accurate and genuine information.<br />

n Fur<strong>the</strong>r bettering <strong>the</strong> Inves<strong>to</strong>rs Bulletin<br />

As an official information channel, <strong>the</strong> Inves<strong>to</strong>rs Bulletin<br />

will be completely overhauled in 2012 in terms of both<br />

form and content. Accordingly, readers will not only<br />

receive updates on featured <strong>financial</strong> market news, but<br />

will also have access <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> latest and most comprehensive<br />

information on <strong>the</strong> operational summary, analyses, and<br />

assessments, as well as short-term development plans<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Bank.<br />

n Exploiting and building relationships with<br />

international organisations<br />

Due <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> global economic depression, funds raised<br />

from foreign inves<strong>to</strong>rs have decreased significantly.<br />

Therefore, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has focused its resources on<br />

building relationships with international <strong>financial</strong><br />

institutions <strong>to</strong> raise funds and learn knowledge and<br />

strategies relating <strong>to</strong> business development, as well as<br />

<strong>the</strong> most modern corporate governance methods from<br />

<strong>the</strong>m in order <strong>to</strong> meet <strong>Sacombank</strong>’s needs for<br />

development and international integration, especially<br />

in preparation for strong expansion <strong>to</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r countries<br />

in <strong>the</strong> region.<br />

Over <strong>the</strong> 20 years of its development, <strong>Sacombank</strong> has built<br />

firm confidence among cus<strong>to</strong>mers, partners, shareholders<br />

and inves<strong>to</strong>rs. From this achievement, <strong>Sacombank</strong> will<br />

continue <strong>to</strong> streng<strong>the</strong>n and develop inves<strong>to</strong>r relations<br />

activities <strong>to</strong> enhance <strong>the</strong> brand value of <strong>Sacombank</strong>,<br />

especially in this era of intensive internationalisation.<br />

high environmental risks, Class B - projects with medium environmental risks and Class C - projects with <strong>the</strong> lowest<br />

environmental impacts. Hence, <strong>Sacombank</strong> plans <strong>to</strong> participate in <strong>the</strong> supervision of <strong>the</strong> implementation of <strong>the</strong> measures<br />

Board of Management of <strong>the</strong> Bank is responsible for <strong>the</strong> preparation and fair presentation of <strong>the</strong>se single-entity <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong><br />

in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, <strong>the</strong> Vietnamese Accounting System and regulations applicable <strong>to</strong> banks<br />

and o<strong>the</strong>r credit institutions operating in SR Vietnam. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining<br />

internal control relevant <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> preparation and fair presentation of single-entity <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> that are free from material<br />

misstatement, whe<strong>the</strong>r due <strong>to</strong> fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting<br />

estimates that are reasonable in <strong>the</strong> circumstances.<br />

Audi<strong>to</strong>r’s Responsibility<br />

Our responsibility is <strong>to</strong> express an opinion on <strong>the</strong>se single-entity <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> based on our audit. We conducted our audit<br />

in accordance with Vietnamese Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and<br />

plan and perform <strong>the</strong> audit in order <strong>to</strong> obtain reasonable assurance as <strong>to</strong> whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> single-entity <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> are free<br />

from material misstatement.<br />

An audit involves performing procedures <strong>to</strong> obtain audit evidence about <strong>the</strong> amounts and disclosures in <strong>the</strong> single-entity <strong>financial</strong><br />

<strong>statements</strong>. The procedures selected depend on <strong>the</strong> audi<strong>to</strong>r’s judgment, including <strong>the</strong> assessment of <strong>the</strong> risks of material<br />

misstatement of <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong>, whe<strong>the</strong>r due <strong>to</strong> fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, <strong>the</strong> audi<strong>to</strong>r considers<br />

internal control relevant <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bank’s preparation and fair presentation of <strong>the</strong> single-entity <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> in order <strong>to</strong> design<br />

audit procedures that are appropriate in <strong>the</strong> circumstances, but not for <strong>the</strong> purpose of expressing an opinion on <strong>the</strong> effectiveness<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Bank’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating <strong>the</strong> appropriateness of accounting policies used and <strong>the</strong><br />

reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating <strong>the</strong> overall presentation of <strong>the</strong> single-entity<br />

<strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong>.<br />

We believe that <strong>the</strong> audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate <strong>to</strong> provide a basis for our audit opinion.<br />

Opinion<br />

In our opinion, <strong>the</strong> single-entity <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> present fairly, in all material respects, <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> position of <strong>the</strong> Bank as at 31<br />

December 2011, and its <strong>financial</strong> performance and cash flows for <strong>the</strong> year <strong>the</strong>n ended in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting<br />

<strong>statements</strong> in accordance with Vietnamese Accounting Standards, <strong>the</strong> Vietnamese Accounting System and regulations applicable<br />

<strong>to</strong> banks and o<strong>the</strong>r credit institutions operating in SR Vietnam. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and<br />

maintaining internal control relevant <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> preparation and fair presentation of <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> that are free<br />

from material misstatement, whe<strong>the</strong>r due <strong>to</strong> fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making<br />

accounting estimates that are reasonable in <strong>the</strong> circumstances.<br />

Audi<strong>to</strong>r’s Responsibility<br />

Our responsibility is <strong>to</strong> express an opinion on <strong>the</strong>se <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> based on our audit. We conducted our audit<br />

in accordance with Vietnamese Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and<br />

plan and perform <strong>the</strong> audit in order <strong>to</strong> obtain reasonable assurance as <strong>to</strong> whe<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> are free<br />

misstatement of <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong>, whe<strong>the</strong>r due <strong>to</strong> fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, <strong>the</strong><br />

in order <strong>to</strong> design audit procedures that are appropriate in <strong>the</strong> circumstances, but not for <strong>the</strong> purpose of expressing an opinion<br />

on <strong>the</strong> effectiveness of <strong>the</strong> Group’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating <strong>the</strong> appropriateness of accounting policies<br />

used and <strong>the</strong> reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating <strong>the</strong> overall presentation of <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong>.<br />

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

For <strong>the</strong> year ended 31 December 2011<br />

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES<br />

The principal accounting policies adopted for <strong>the</strong> preparation of <strong>the</strong>se <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> are set out below.<br />

2.1 Basis of preparation of <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong><br />

The <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> have been prepared using <strong>the</strong> his<strong>to</strong>rical cost convention and in accordance with<br />

Vietnamese Accounting Standards, <strong>the</strong> Vietnamese Accounting System and regulations applicable <strong>to</strong> banks and o<strong>the</strong>r<br />

credit institutions operating in SR Vietnam. Accordingly, <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> are not intended <strong>to</strong> present<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with jurisdictions o<strong>the</strong>r than SR Vietnam.<br />

The accounting principles and practices utilised in SR Vietnam may differ from those generally accepted in countries and<br />

jurisdictions o<strong>the</strong>r than SR Vietnam.<br />

2.2 Fiscal year<br />

The Group’s fiscal year is from 1 January <strong>to</strong> 31 December.<br />

2.3 Foreign currencies<br />

The <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> are measured in Vietnamese Dong and presented using millions of Vietnamese<br />

Dong.<br />

Transactions arising in foreign currencies are translated at rates ruling on <strong>the</strong> transaction dates. Monetary assets and<br />

liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at each month end are translated at <strong>the</strong> rates of exchange ruling at <strong>the</strong> month<br />

end date. Foreign exchange differences from monthly revaluation are recorded in <strong>the</strong> foreign currency difference reserve in<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> balance sheet and transferred <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

2.4 Consolidation<br />

(i) Subsidiaries<br />

Subsidiaries are those companies over which <strong>the</strong> Group has <strong>the</strong> power <strong>to</strong> govern <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> and operating policies.<br />

Subsidiaries are <strong>consolidated</strong> from <strong>the</strong> date on which control is transferred <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Group. They are de-<strong>consolidated</strong> from<br />

<strong>the</strong> date on which control ceases.<br />

The results of operations of a subsidiary are included in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> as from <strong>the</strong> date of<br />

acquisition, which is <strong>the</strong> date on which control of <strong>the</strong> acquired subsidiary is effectively transferred <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> buyer. The results<br />

of operations of a subsidiary disposed of are included in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement until <strong>the</strong> date of disposal which<br />

is <strong>the</strong> date on which <strong>the</strong> parent ceases <strong>to</strong> have control of <strong>the</strong> subsidiary. The difference between <strong>the</strong> proceeds from <strong>the</strong><br />

disposal of <strong>the</strong> subsidiary and <strong>the</strong> carrying amount of its assets less liabilities as of <strong>the</strong> date of disposal is recognised in <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>consolidated</strong> income statement as <strong>the</strong> profit or loss on <strong>the</strong> disposal of <strong>the</strong> subsidiary. Where <strong>the</strong>re is a partial disposal of<br />

an interest in a subsidiary and <strong>the</strong>re is no loss of control, <strong>the</strong> profit or loss arising on <strong>the</strong> partial disposal is included in <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>consolidated</strong> income statement for <strong>the</strong> year.<br />

The purchase method of accounting is used <strong>to</strong> account for <strong>the</strong> acquisition of subsidiaries by <strong>the</strong> Bank. The cost of an<br />

acquisition is measured as <strong>the</strong> fair value of <strong>the</strong> assets given, equities instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed<br />

at <strong>the</strong> date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> acquisition. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities<br />

assumed in a business combination are measured initially at <strong>the</strong>ir fair value at <strong>the</strong> acquisition date, irrespective of <strong>the</strong><br />

extent of <strong>the</strong> minority interest<br />

99 ANNUAL REPORT 2011<br />

Form B 05/TCTD - HN


Inter-company balances, transactions and unrealised gains on transactions between those companies and <strong>the</strong> Group<br />

are eliminated. Unrealised losses also eliminated unless transactions provide evidence of an impairment of <strong>the</strong> asset<br />

transferred. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary <strong>to</strong> ensure <strong>the</strong> consistency with<br />

<strong>the</strong> policies adopted by <strong>the</strong> Bank.<br />

Financial <strong>statements</strong> of foreign subsidiaries are converted for consolidating in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Group’s <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong><br />

<strong>statements</strong> as follows<br />

a) Assets and liabilities, both monetary and non-monetary, of <strong>the</strong> foreign subsidiary are translated at <strong>the</strong> closing rate;<br />

b) Revenue, income and expense items of <strong>the</strong> foreign subsidiary are translated at <strong>the</strong> average exchange rate;<br />

c) Exchange differences arising from <strong>the</strong> conversion of <strong>the</strong> subsidiary’s <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> for consolidating in<strong>to</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Group’s <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong> are recorded in <strong>the</strong> foreign exchange difference reserve under <strong>the</strong><br />

Group’s equity until <strong>the</strong> disposal of <strong>the</strong> subsidiary<br />

(ii) Minority interest<br />

Minority interest is <strong>the</strong> portion of <strong>the</strong> profit or loss and net assets of a subsidiary attributable <strong>to</strong> equity interest that are not<br />

owned, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, by <strong>the</strong> parent<br />

(iii) Associates and joint-ventures<br />

Associates are all entities over which <strong>the</strong> Group has significant influence but not control.<br />

Joint-venture is a contractual arrangement whereby <strong>the</strong> Group and o<strong>the</strong>r parties undertake an economic activity which is<br />

subject <strong>to</strong> joint control.<br />

The Group uses <strong>the</strong> equity method for consolidating its investments in associates and joint-ventures. The Group’s share<br />

of its associates’ and joint-ventures’ post acquisition profits or losses is recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement.<br />

When <strong>the</strong> Group’s share of losses in an associate and joint-venture equals or exceeds <strong>the</strong> carrying amount of its<br />

investment in <strong>the</strong> associate and joint-venture, <strong>the</strong> Group does not recognise fur<strong>the</strong>r losses in its <strong>consolidated</strong> <strong>financial</strong><br />

<strong>statements</strong>, unless it has obligations <strong>to</strong> pay on behalf of <strong>the</strong> associate and joint-venture. Accounting policies of associates<br />

and joint-ventures have been changed where necessary <strong>to</strong> ensure consistency with <strong>the</strong> policies adopted by <strong>the</strong> Bank<br />

2.5 Interest income and expenses<br />

The Group records interest income and expense on an accruals basis. Interest income from non-performing loans is not<br />

accrued and is recognised on an actual collection basis. Interest income is derecognised when a loan becomes overdue<br />

and is recorded off-balance sheet. Interest income on overdue loan is recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement on<br />

receipt.<br />

services are recognised on receipt.<br />

2.7 Loans, advances and finance leases <strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers<br />

Short-term loans are those with a repayment date within one year of <strong>the</strong> date <strong>the</strong> loan was advanced, medium-term loans<br />

and finance leases are those with a final repayment date between one and five years of <strong>the</strong> date <strong>the</strong> loan was advanced<br />

or <strong>the</strong> lease was given and long-term loans are those with a repayment date of more than five years from <strong>the</strong> date <strong>the</strong> loan<br />

attributable <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> acquisition of <strong>the</strong> fixed assets.<br />

Depreciation<br />

Fixed assets are depreciated on <strong>the</strong> straight-line method <strong>to</strong> write off <strong>the</strong> cost of <strong>the</strong> assets over <strong>the</strong>ir estimated useful lives.<br />

2.11 Leased assets<br />

2.12 Gold<br />

Leases of property, plant and equipment where <strong>the</strong> Group has substantially all <strong>the</strong> risks and rewards of ownership are<br />

classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at <strong>the</strong> inception of <strong>the</strong> lease at <strong>the</strong> lower of <strong>the</strong> fair value<br />

of leased property or <strong>the</strong> present value of <strong>the</strong> minimum lease payments. Each lease payment is allocated between <strong>the</strong><br />

liability and finance charges so as <strong>to</strong> achieve a constant rate on <strong>the</strong> finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental<br />

obligations, net of finance charge, are included in long-term borrowings. The interest element of <strong>the</strong> finance cost is charged<br />

<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement over <strong>the</strong> lease period. The property, plant and equipment acquired under finance<br />

leases are depreciated over <strong>the</strong> shorter of <strong>the</strong> useful life of <strong>the</strong> asset or <strong>the</strong> lease term.<br />

Leases where a significant portion of <strong>the</strong> risks and rewards of ownership are retained by <strong>the</strong> lessor are classified as<br />

operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement on a straightline<br />

basis over <strong>the</strong> period of <strong>the</strong> lease<br />

Gold is revalued at each month end. The differences arising from monthly revaluation are recorded in foreign exchange<br />

difference reserve and transferred <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement at <strong>the</strong> balance sheet date.<br />

in<strong>to</strong> and revalued subsequently at exchange rate of each period end. Gains or losses from realisation of derivatives are<br />

recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement. Unrealised gains or losses are recognised in <strong>consolidated</strong> balance<br />

sheet as foreign currency difference reserve and transferred <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement at <strong>the</strong> balance sheet<br />

date.<br />

2.15 Provisions<br />

Provisions are recognised when: <strong>the</strong> Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is<br />

probable that an outflow of resources will be required <strong>to</strong> settle <strong>the</strong> obligation; and <strong>the</strong> amount has been reliably estimated.<br />

Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.<br />

Where <strong>the</strong>re are a number of similar obligations, <strong>the</strong> likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined<br />

by considering <strong>the</strong> class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if <strong>the</strong> likelihood of an outflow with<br />

respect <strong>to</strong> any one item included in <strong>the</strong> same class of obligations may be small.<br />

Provisions are measured at <strong>the</strong> present value of <strong>the</strong> expenditures expected <strong>to</strong> be required <strong>to</strong> settle <strong>the</strong> obligation using a<br />

pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of <strong>the</strong> time value of money and <strong>the</strong> risks specific <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> obligations.<br />

The increase in <strong>the</strong> provision due <strong>to</strong> passage of time is recognised as interest expense.<br />

2.16 Provision for severance allowances<br />

In accordance with Vietnamese labour laws, employees of <strong>the</strong> Group are entitled <strong>to</strong> a severance allowance based on<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir years of service up <strong>to</strong> 31 December 2008. This will be paid as a lump sum when <strong>the</strong> employee leaves <strong>the</strong> Group.<br />

Provision for severance allowance is made in accordance with Circular 07/2004/TT-BTC dated 9 February 2004 and<br />

Circular 82/2003/TT-BTC dated 14 August 2003 issued by <strong>the</strong> Ministry of Finance. Accordingly, a provision for severance<br />

allowances was made for up <strong>to</strong> 31 December 2011.<br />

2.17 Taxation<br />

Business income tax expense is recognised in <strong>the</strong> <strong>consolidated</strong> income statement based on current income tax and<br />

deferred income tax.<br />

Current income tax is <strong>the</strong> amount of business income tax payable or recoverable in respect of <strong>the</strong> current year taxable<br />

profit and <strong>the</strong> current tax rates.<br />

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using <strong>the</strong> liability method, on temporary differences arising between <strong>the</strong> tax bases<br />

of assets and liabilities and <strong>the</strong>ir carrying amounts in <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> <strong>statements</strong>. Deferred income tax is not accounted for<br />

if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction o<strong>the</strong>r than a business combination that at <strong>the</strong> time<br />

of occurrence affects nei<strong>the</strong>r accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined at <strong>the</strong> tax rates that<br />

are expected <strong>to</strong> apply <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>financial</strong> year when <strong>the</strong> asset is realised or <strong>the</strong> liability is settled, based on tax rates that have<br />

been enacted or substantively enacted by <strong>the</strong> balance sheet date.<br />

ANNUAL REPORT 2011 106


NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

For <strong>the</strong> year ended 31 December 2011<br />

Deferred income tax assets are recognised <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against<br />

which <strong>the</strong> temporary differences can be utilised<br />

Enterprises and individuals that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, control, or are controlled by, or<br />

81,520,029 110,246,227 8,263,238 9,332,863 25,724,180<br />

The Group’s business involves taking on risks in a targeted manner and managing <strong>the</strong>m professionally. The core functions<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Group’s risk management are <strong>to</strong> identify all key risks for <strong>the</strong> Group, measure <strong>the</strong>se risks, manage <strong>the</strong> risk positions<br />

and determine capital<br />

allocations. The Group regularly reviews its risk management policies and systems <strong>to</strong> reflect changes in markets, products<br />

and best market practice.<br />

The Group’s aim is <strong>to</strong> achieve an appropriate balance between risk and return and minimise potential adverse effects on<br />

<strong>the</strong> Group’s <strong>financial</strong> performance.<br />

The Group defines risk as <strong>the</strong> possibility of losses or profits foregone, which may be caused by internal or external fac<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />

Risk management is carried out by a risk management department under policies approved by <strong>the</strong> Board of General<br />

Direc<strong>to</strong>rs. The Risk Management Department identifies, evaluates and hedges <strong>financial</strong> risks in close co-operation with<br />

<strong>the</strong> Group’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies<br />

covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative <strong>financial</strong> instruments<br />

and non-derivative <strong>financial</strong> instruments. In addition, internal audit is responsible for <strong>the</strong> independent review of risk<br />

management and <strong>the</strong> control environment.<br />

The risks arising from <strong>financial</strong> instruments <strong>to</strong> which <strong>the</strong> Group is exposed are <strong>financial</strong> risks, which includes credit risk,<br />

liquidity risk, market risk and operational risk<br />

44.1 Credit risk<br />

Form B 05/TCTD - HN<br />

Credit risk is <strong>the</strong> risk of suffering <strong>financial</strong> loss, should any of <strong>the</strong> Group’s cus<strong>to</strong>mers, clients or market counterparties fail<br />

<strong>to</strong> fulfil <strong>the</strong>ir contractual obligations <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> Group. Credit risk arises mainly from lending activities and <strong>financial</strong> guarantees<br />

under many ways.<br />

The Group is also exposed <strong>to</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r credit risks arising from investments in debt securities and o<strong>the</strong>r exposures arising from<br />

its trading activities (‘trading exposures’), including non-equity trading portfolio assets, derivatives and settlement balances<br />

with market counterparties.<br />

Credit risk is <strong>the</strong> single largest risk for <strong>the</strong> Group’s business; management <strong>the</strong>refore carefully manages its exposure <strong>to</strong><br />

credit risk. The credit risk management and control are centralised in a credit risk management team, which reports <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Board of General Direc<strong>to</strong>rs and head of each business unit regularly


44.1.1 Credit risk measurement and provisioning policies<br />

(a) Loans and guarantees <strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers<br />

Credit risk measurement is carried out before and during loan period.<br />

The Group has developed models <strong>to</strong> support <strong>the</strong> quantification of <strong>the</strong> credit risk. These rating and scoring models are in<br />

use for all key credit portfolios and form <strong>the</strong> basis for measuring default risks before and during loan period.<br />

The Group applies Decision 493/2005/QD-NHNN dated 22 April 2005 and Decision 18/2007/QĐ-NHNN dated 25 April<br />

2007 of <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam for measurement of credit risk and estimate of provision for loans and guarantees <strong>to</strong><br />

cus<strong>to</strong>mers as presented in Note 2.7 and Note 2.8<br />

(b) Debt securities<br />

The Group’s investment in debt securities are those issued by <strong>the</strong> Government, reputable credit institutions and economic<br />

organisations. The credit risk management is measured on a case-by-case basis when <strong>the</strong> Group assesses that <strong>the</strong> risk<br />

profile of <strong>the</strong> counterparty is changed. The investments in those securities are viewed as a way <strong>to</strong> gain a better credit<br />

quality mapping and maintain a readily available source <strong>to</strong> meet <strong>the</strong> funding requirement at <strong>the</strong> same time.<br />

44.1.2 Credit risk limit control and mitigation policies<br />

The Group manages credit risk by placing limits on exposures (for both on and off balance sheet exposures) in relation <strong>to</strong> one<br />

borrower, or groups of borrowers in accordance with regulation of <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam. In addition, exposure <strong>to</strong> credit<br />

risk is also managed through regularly reviewing <strong>the</strong> acceptance classes of collateral and analysing <strong>the</strong> ability of borrowers and<br />

potential borrowers <strong>to</strong> meet interest and capital repayment obligations.<br />

The Group has a range of policies and practices <strong>to</strong> mitigate credit risk. The most traditional of <strong>the</strong>se is <strong>the</strong> taking of security for<br />

funds advances, which is common practice. The principal collateral types for loans and advances are:<br />

n Mortgages over residential properties;<br />

n Charges over business assets such as premises, machineries and equipment, inven<strong>to</strong>ry and accounts receivable;<br />

n Charges over <strong>financial</strong> instruments such as debt securities and equities<br />

For secured loans, collateral is independently valued by <strong>the</strong> Group from which it applies specific discount rates <strong>to</strong> determine <strong>the</strong><br />

maximum amount of loans that can be granted. The specific discount rates for each type of collateral are guided under Decision<br />

493/2005/QD-NHNN dated 22 April 2005 and Decision 18/2007/QĐ-NHNN dated 25 April 2007 of <strong>the</strong> State Bank of Vietnam and<br />

are adjusted by <strong>the</strong> Group on case-by-case basis. When <strong>the</strong> value of collateral is reduced, <strong>the</strong> Group will ask <strong>the</strong> borrower <strong>to</strong><br />

provide additional collateral <strong>to</strong> maintain <strong>the</strong> security over <strong>the</strong> loan exposure.<br />

Credit related commitments mainly include letters of credit and <strong>financial</strong> guarantee contracts which carry <strong>the</strong> same credit risk<br />

as loans. Documentary and commercial letters of credit - which are written undertakings by <strong>the</strong> Group on behalf of a cus<strong>to</strong>mer<br />

authorising a third party <strong>to</strong> draw drafts on <strong>the</strong> Group up <strong>to</strong> a stipulated amount under specific terms and conditions - are<br />

collateralised by <strong>the</strong> underlying shipments of goods <strong>to</strong> which <strong>the</strong>y relate and <strong>the</strong>refore carry less risk than a direct loan. Issuance<br />

of <strong>financial</strong> guarantee contracts and letters of credit are subject <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> same credit assessment and approval process as those for<br />

loans and advances <strong>to</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mers, unless <strong>the</strong> cus<strong>to</strong>mer places 100% margin deposits for <strong>the</strong> related commitment<br />

44.2 Market risk<br />

The Group takes on exposure <strong>to</strong> market risks, which is <strong>the</strong> risk that <strong>the</strong> fair value or future cash flows of a <strong>financial</strong><br />

instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks arise from open positions in interest rate,<br />

currency and equity products, all of which are exposed <strong>to</strong> general and specific market movements and changes in <strong>the</strong> level<br />

of volatility of market rates or prices such as interest rates, credit spreads, foreign exchange rates and equity prices.<br />

44.2.1 Foreign exchange risk<br />

Foreign exchange risk is <strong>the</strong> risk that <strong>the</strong> value of a <strong>financial</strong> instrument will fluctuate due <strong>to</strong> changes in foreign exchange<br />

rates. The Group was incorporated and operates in Vietnam, with VND as its functional currency. The major currency in<br />

which <strong>the</strong> Group transacts is VND. The exchange rate between VND and foreign currencies during <strong>the</strong> year fluctuated<br />

significantly. The Group’s loans and advances were mainly denominated in VND with <strong>the</strong> remainder mainly in USD.<br />

However, some of <strong>the</strong> Group o<strong>the</strong>r assets are in currencies o<strong>the</strong>r than <strong>the</strong> functional currency and USD. The Group<br />

management has set limits on positions by currency. Positions are moni<strong>to</strong>red on a daily basis and hedging strategies used<br />

<strong>to</strong> ensure positions are maintained within established limits<br />
