Credit growth not to exceed 8-10 percent (21/11)

21/11/2012 - 13 Lượt xem

In the first half of this year, the credit growth of the whole banking system increased by 1.51 percent from the end of 2011, with 69 credit institutions registering negative growth and 57 others registering positive growth.
At the conference to sum up banking operations in the first six months of 2012, the SBV Governor asked credit institutions to assess their credit growth during the period and adopt plans for credit growth in the second half of the year. If they have a plan exceeding the credit growth quota, they would have to submit their proposal to the central bank for consideration.
So far, 23 credit institutions have proposed that their credit growth plan should exceed the quotas, while 29 others met their quotas and 10 credit institutions planned lower growth than their assigned quotas.
Based on these proposals, the SBV made some changes and assigned credit growth quotas for each credit institution to meet their actual operations, financial health and possibilities for expansion. Therefore, there are credit institutions that were allowed credit growth higher than their former quotas, while others had their quotas unchanged or lowered.
In general, credit growth in 2012 will not exceed 15 percent and still conforms to the target set from the beginning of this year, and if credit institutions carry out their credit growth quota based on the latest adjustments, they will not put any pressure on inflation.
However, according to SBV it will be very difficult for credit institutions to carry out their credit growth quotas, as the latest adjustments as they depend on many other factors such as the easing of stockpiled goods, the velocity of money flows, expansion of the consumer market and loans provided to enterprises.
According to SBV, if these solutions work, the credit growth of the whole banking system in 2012 will not exceed 8-10 percent, meaning that credit growth will exert little pressure on this year's inflation figures./.
