Vietcombank's asset quality increased continuously from 2010 to 2012. As of June 30, 2013, Vietcombank's asset quality decreased compared to 2012. Outstanding loans as of June 30, 2013 were VND 237,546 billion, an increase of 10.2% over the same period last year but a decrease of 1.5% compared to 2012. Since 2012, credit growth has been struggling due to the prolonged economic difficulties, limited demand and capital absorption capacity, the quality of business inventories has not improved, businesses do not have many new and effective business plans, so the demand for loans has decreased significantly, in which outstanding loans at Vietcombank of some customers have a large proportion of outstanding loans such as the group of customers of petroleum, seafood, etc.
In addition, fierce competition from rivals due to excess capital in most banks, the application of Circular 37/2012/TT-NHNN significantly reduced foreign currency debt.

The reason for the increase in bad debt is due to the negative impact of some industries on Vietcombank's customers such as frozen real estate, seafood industry facing many difficulties in export, cashew industry facing difficulties in domestic production and export market; on the other hand, Vietcombank has not closely followed the actual situation of customers to make appropriate assessments of customers' business situation and cash flow untimely proposals on borrowing and debt repayment plans.

2.2.2.1. Capital mobilization activities
The business environment from 2010 to June 30, 2013 faced many difficulties due to the impact of the global economic crisis and the public debt crisis in the European region. The unhealthy competitive environment of credit institutions and some policy changes of the State Bank such as tightening monetary policy, anti-dollarization policy and applying interest rate ceilings, etc. have shifted the cash flow of some organizations and individuals, significantly affecting the growth rate of Vietcombank's mobilized capital. However, with the "flexible and drastic" direction of Vietcombank's Board of Directors, Vietcombank's mobilized capital has had positive changes.

Regarding lending to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the proportion of outstanding loans to SMEs according to the criteria of Decree 90/CP and Decree 56/CP both met the set plan - reaching 29.6% and 17.2% respectively. Personal credit reached VND19,158 billion, up 38.9% over the previous year, accounting for 10.9% of outstanding personal loans; not yet reaching the assigned plan - the reason is that in the last months of the year, implementing the general direction on credit control, VCB had to limit consumer loans.

By the end of the first quarter of 2012, outstanding credit decreased by 0.6% compared to the end of 2011. The reasons were (i) Tight monetary policy, interest rates at the beginning of the year were still high; (ii) Difficult business environment so demand for imports/investment in new projects decreased. In the last 9 months of the year: outstanding loans increased rapidly, mainly focusing on short-term VND loans, mainly due to the continuous implementation of short-term loan packages with preferential interest rates for customers with good credit quality. Outstanding loans grew fastest in the fourth quarter of 2012. VND/foreign currency loan structure 68.8/31.2 consistent with the orientation of controlling foreign currency growth and encouraging VND loans.

As of June 30, 2013, outstanding credit reached 236,179 billion VND, up 10.2%.
