State Bank of Vietnam Permanent Deputy Governor Dao Minh Tu, has told a press conference that Vietnam’s banks’ loans exceed their deposits, according to Bao Moi.
“There is no way that 14-15 million billion VND is still in the bank because the banks have lent out all the money they mobilised to the economy,” he said.
Bank loans now exceed deposits VND 14.7 quadrillion to VND 14.5 quadrillion, Dao went on to say.
Of note, this would give Vietnam’s banks a collective loan deposit ratio of 101.38 percent with anything over 80 percent generally considered ‘risky’.
