Through the above data table, we can see that the business performance of BIDV Trang An branch is positive in the 5 years 2016-2020. The profit of the following year is higher than the previous year, that result is clearly shown through the total revenue and total cost situation.
Regarding revenue situation: In general, the branch's revenue has increased over the years. In 2016, the total revenue was 74 billion VND. After 5 years, this figure has reached 348.8 billion VND in 2020. This increase in income is due to the branch's increased encouragement for customers to borrow capital, which has brought in a very high income from loan interest, pushing the branch's income up. In addition, it can be seen that revenue from credit activities is still the main source of revenue for the branch with a proportion of approximately 90%. In addition, non-interest income services such as revenue from services, foreign exchange trading revenue and other revenue have also increased steadily over the years.
Regarding expenses: as well as income, the most money that banks have to spend is on deposit mobilization activities, interest payments always account for a high proportion of total expenses because in order for the bank's mobilized capital to ensure the increasing demand for loans, the bank has promoted the mobilization of capital from residents, economic organizations, and credit institutions. Total expenses in 2016 reached 60.2
billion VND and by 2020 it will be 329.1 billion VND. The branch's expenses are too large, reducing the branch's profits, leading to difficulties in developing and expanding its scale. The branch needs to manage its business activities well and tighten controls to minimize operating costs.
The bank's pre-tax profit increased in value during the period 2016 - 2020. However, the profit growth rate fluctuated strongly in the past 5 years. In 2017 and 2018, the pre-tax profit growth rate was stable at over 10%. However, the increase in bad debt in 2019 greatly affected the branch's profit and its business activities. Pre-tax profit in 2019 reached VND 16.5 billion, an increase of 4.43% compared to 2018, equivalent to VND 0.7 billion.
In 2020, pre-tax profit has recovered strongly, pre-tax profit in 2018 reached 19.7 billion VND, an increase of 3.2 billion VND compared to 2019, corresponding to a growth rate of 19.39%. Although there was a decrease in profit growth rate in 2019, the profit value still increased steadily every year. This is considered a positive sign for BIDV Trang An branch. The branch needs to continue to promote the credit lending process, increase revenue. Closely monitor costs to minimize unnecessary costs.
