A recent report from the Agribank Securities Company (Agriseco) noted that the banking sector will face challenges maintaining profit growth in 2022 and 2023 at levels recorded in 2020 and 2021. Growth has declined amid insufficient space for credit growth, while Net Interest Margins (NIM) face pressure from rising deposit rates as lending rates prove difficult to increase.

After the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV)’s decision to raise the operating interest rate, analysts believe that the net interest margin (NIM) in the industry will narrow but the impact will differ. Banks with high CASA ratios will be more resilient, while banks with low LDR or short-term capital ratios for medium and long-term loans will be under less pressure.
