Analysis results:

  • Credit process: the branch’s business customer credit process is strict. Clearly define the responsibilities and functions of each department in each step. However, there is no specific process for short-term lending to SMEs.
  • About the package of short-term loans for enterprises: short-term loan products for enterprises are quite diverse, including normal loan products and new products according to market demand.
  • Up to now, Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam – Quang Tri Branch has its head office at 24 Hung Vuong – Dong Ha and 3 transaction offices. The number of transaction offices as above is relatively small for a province with many potential areas for exploitation like Quang Tri.
  • In the period 2009 – 2011, the employment situation of Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam – Quang Tri Branch was constantly increasing in quantity and quality. The branch has focused on creating conditions for staff to go to school to improve their professional skills, as well as enhance the quality of input recruitment.
  • The ratio of short-term loans for SMEs to mobilized capital is too high, affecting the branch’s investment diversification, as well as the appropriate capital mobilization for lending.
  • Profitability of short-term loans to SMEs accounts for a large proportion of profits and increases over the years. The ratio of short-term SME lending to SME’s short-term loan balance tends to increase.
  • SME’s short-term credit turnover is increasing over the years from 2009 to 2011 showing that short-term lending efficiency has gradually increased, but it is still low compared to SME’s credit turnover, so it is necessary to take measures to further increase the speed of short-term loan capital turnover.

The bad debt ratio of short-term SME lending activities in the period 2009 – 2011 was always low and less than 0.6%, however, this ratio tends to increase over the years. Group 5 debt, which is likely to lose capital, tends to increase and gradually accounts for a large proportion of the bad debt ratio.
  • Sales of short-term loans to SMEs in the fourth quarter and first quarter accounted for a large proportion and increased over the years. It shows that the Branch has well grasped the situation of short-term capital needs in the area to promptly meet the needs of SMEs.
  • The proportion of SMEs with short-term lending relationships compared to SMEs with branch relationships tends to increase. This proves that the SME short-term lending business is operating more and more effectively.
  • BIDV Quang Tri has flexibly implemented two methods of short-term lending for SMEs: line of credit and loan by item. However, lending by operating limit can mainly affect the creation of passive capital in the business, low interest income. Overdue debt under the method of installment loans is still high.
  • The situation of short-term loans to SMEs of BIDV Quang Tri in 2009 – 2011 according to collateral was relatively good. Overdue debts are concentrated in loans with collateral, so bad debts will be able to recover capital by liquidating collateral.

1.3.2. Characteristics

In addition to the inherent characteristics of enterprises, SMEs also have their own characteristics:

 SMEs are small in terms of both capital and labor, so they have the following characteristics:

Due to the small initial capital size, high efficiency, quick capital recovery, short production cycle, and fast capital turnover, that creates an attractiveness in attracting investment in production and business.

Dynamic, flexible, responsive to market changes. Ability to redirect business and business type as well as product structure. This is an advantage of SMEs compared to large enterprises.

Stable jobs for workers than large enterprises, especially in the economic downturn. Organizational management, business lightweight, management decisions implemented quickly. Thereby contributing to saving costs of business management, monitoring administrative procedures and being able to easily transform business forms.

SMEs participate in business in all forms of businesses and industries, so they can serve all needs arising in a flexible economy, filling the gaps of large enterprises.

 In addition, there are characteristics that show the disadvantages of  SME:

Limited financial capital, especially self-capital as well as additional capital to carry out the process of accumulation and concentration in order to maintain or expand production and business. While large enterprises have the ability to attract capital in many different ways: raising capital on the stock market by issuing stocks and bonds, borrowing capital from banks, etc., SMEs mainly use capital. owners because there are difficulties in accessing loans and are not eligible to participate in the issue of shares on the stock market.

The physical and technical facilities, the level of technology and technology are often weak and outdated. A common situation in Vietnam’s SMEs is that the machinery and equipment system is on average about 15-20 years old in the electronics industry, 20 years in the mechanical industry… Outdated technology makes the consumption cost Consumption of enterprises increased higher than the standard norm of the world.

It is the small scale of production that has led to the high production costs of SMEs, monotonous product designs, low product quality and a lack of distribution and marketing networks, making it difficult for SMEs to directly access them. to foreign markets.

Lack of transparency in determining personal and legal assets. Many limited liability companies, legal assets and personal assets lack transparency, causing a lot of difficulties for the Bank’s credit officers in the process of appraisal and assessment of real capacity. of the enterprise. The cause of this phenomenon is the low level of knowledge and low education level of business managers.

The team of workers is unqualified. Currently, SMEs lack a team of qualified and capable workers to meet development requirements in the context of economic integration.

The financial reporting system did not comply with the provisions of the current accounting regime. SMEs often sell goods without using economic contracts and do not comply with the sales invoice issuance regime. The system of accounting books, contents and accounting methods of enterprises are incomplete, inaccurate and not transparent. Financial statements are often built to deal with tax authorities or when businesses need a loan from a bank.
