Banks receive credit report cards

Thirty-two domestic commercial banks have been rated at four competitiveness levels, A, B, C, and D, according to the Viet Nam Credit Rating Annual Report 2012 released on Saturday.

Level A banks have a high competitiveness, strong market power, stable financial resources, effective performance, and long-term development potential.

Level B consists of banks with fairly high competitiveness, good market power, reasonable financial resources, stable performance and good development potential.

Banks with average competitiveness, limited market power, acceptable financial strength, and less stable business performance belong to level C.

Level D refers to banks with limited competitiveness. These banks suffer from deficiencies like a weak business network and market power, acceptable financial strength, and less stable business performance.

According to the report, the nine banks to receive A ratings were Techcombank, ACB, Sacombank, Eximbank, DongA Bank, MB, Vietcombank, Vietinbank, and BIDV.

The Level B banks were BacA Bank, HDBank, MaritimeBank, Orient Commercial Joint Stock Bank, Sai Gon Bank for Industry and Trade, Southern Bank, VIB, PG Bank, and Viet A Bank.
