International capital flow restricted to few banks
International capital has flowed into many Vietnamese banks in 2022, which is a good sign indicating the capacity of domestic joint stock commercial banks.
Commercial banks in Vietnam are currently launching the 2 percent interest rate support package from the State budget package of VND40 trillion (US$1.7 billion) for loans to businesses, cooperatives, and household businesses. This is a positive signal of economic recovery after the Covid-19 pandemic.
Despite the negative impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, the credit of the country economy in 2021 witnessed an increase of 13 percent compared to last year. The bad news is an unavoidable rise of bad debts in many banks.
