Bad debt ratio at banks at safe level

A report from the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) presented to the National Assembly reveals that as of the end of August, the bad debt ratio on the banking system’s balance sheets remained at a safe 1.9 per cent. The ratio of bad debts, unresolved debts sold to the Vietnam Asset Management Company (VAMC), and potential bad debts at credit institutions was 4.99 per cent, down sharply from the 6.3 per cent posted at the end of 2021.
