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 />
