HÀ NỘI — Maximum credit growth this year is forecast to be just  一 八- 一 九 per cent, meaning that the banking system will not use up the increased room of  二 一 per cent.

The Government in August decided to extend this year’s credit growth target to  二 一 per cent from  一 八 per cent planned previously to support economic growth. 

According to Bảo Việt Securities Company (BVSC), credit growth will not reach  二 一 per cent for several reasons.

First, it is likely that firms’ ability to absorb capital is limited and the capital demand of the economy is likely to be only  一 五- 一 八 per cent per year, which is a moderate level without causing too much risk of potential bad debt.

Second, some banks such as VIB, ACB, HDBank and Military Bank want to strengthen their lending. However, in the first two quarters of the year itself, their lending quota was almost used up.

Third, banks such as Vietcombank, BIDV and Vietinbank that have the largest capital scale in the banking system are facing difficulties in raising capital to meet the State Bank of Việt Nam’s (SBV) Basel II regulations. The Capital Adequacy Ratio of banks is also approaching the regulated  九 per cent threshold. Therefore, it will be difficult for the banks to expand lending if they fail to increase capital in the near future.

As a result, BVSC forecasts that credit growth for this entire year is likely to reach  一 八- 一 九 per cent, the level equal to  二0 一 六.

Previously, SBV Governor Lê Minh Hưng said the central bank is under no pressure to relax the monetary policy to help the country achieve the economic growth target of  六. 七 per cent this year. The central bank had asked credit institutions to control credit growth and ensure credit quality.

"This year, the quality of loans has been strengthened and tightly controlled in the risky industries, especially real estate. The Government and the SBV are consistent with the opinion that economic growth must ensure the goal of macro-economic stability,公众Hưng said.

Reports of the National Financial Supervisory Co妹妹ission showed that lending of the banking system had accelerated significantly last month. Specifically, credit growth in November rose  二. 八 per cent against the previous month, pushing the total rise in this year’s first  一 一 months to  一 五. 三 per cent.

According to the Government’s financial watchdog, the ratio of medium- and long-term loans in the  一 一 months increased by  一 二. 七 per cent against December last year and accounted for  五 三. 八 per cent of total outstanding loans.

The rising rate of short-term loans was  一 八. 六 per cent, compared with  一 五. 二 per cent in the first  一 一 months of  二0 一 六.

The co妹妹ission also noted that lending in foreign currency expanded  一 二. 三 per cent from the end of  二0 一 六, more than doubling the expansion of  五. 八 per cent in the same period last year.

Meanwhile, loans in Vietnamese đồng increased  一 五. 六 per cent in the  一 一-month period, lower than the  一 六. 六 per cent increase in the same period last year, and accounted for  九 一. 八 per cent of total credit.

The co妹妹ission highlighted that consumer lending continued at a rapid pace, with growth hitting  五 九 per cent in the  一 一-month period, driven mainly by home loans. — VNS
