PREFACE

1. Rational of the thesis


The trend of globalization, regionalization is taking place increasingly powerful and becomes an inevitable trend for any economy. This is particularly true for developing and less developing economies which needs a significant amount of capital for investment activities, including the Vietnam economy.

With the signing of the Bilateral Trade Agreement (Bilateral Trade Agreement - BTA) with the United States in December 2001 and the official accession to the World Trade Organization (World Trade Organization - WTO) of Vietnam in November 2006, Vietnam’s banking and financial services sector confronts the presence and the direct competition of foreign financial institutions on the domestic market. The opening commitments of Vietnam as a member of APEC and the Association of Southeast Asian countries with the specific schedule for the opening of each economic sector is not only an opportunity to Vietnam financial banking sector to develop and expand markets, but also a genuine and obvious challenges. The current pressing issue to tackle is to enable Vietnam’s banking and financial system to make a genuine contribution to the development of Vietnam Socialist-oriented market economy regulated by the State.

Over the past two decades, Vietnam financial banking sector has been maturing and developing both in quantity and quality. However, according to the evaluation of the World Bank’s organizations (World Bank – WB), International Monetary Fund (International Monetary Fund – IMF) and the major and prestigious credit rating agencies in term of Vietnam’s banking industry as Fitch Ratings and Moody’s, the corporate governance in general and the risk management in particular almost commercial banks in Vietnam remains weak.

the credit risk management with a focus on value portfolio (Portfolio Value) using tool value at risk (Value at risk – VAR), including operational risk, business risk, organizational risk,…

The nature of banking’s activities revolves around risk management. Therefore, the critical issue posed for Vietnam's banking sector (including the state management mechanism and business activities practices) now and in the near future is to develop the legal framework, safety risk management and monitoring process, to approach and applicate the international principles and practices. After meeting the requirements of the international principles and practices, the services which provided by Vietnamese commercial banks will be accepted in international financial banking transactions. In addition, even on the domestic market, risk management under international principles and practices will make the commercial banks ensure the safety of their business activities.
