    HÀ NỘI — It is anticipated that there will be significant changes in the scale of the banking sector's charter capital this year as several joint-stock commercial banks have announced their plans to raise capital.

    In a recently issued official dispatch, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has granted approval to a number of banks to increase their charter capital through various methods, such as issuing shares for dividend distribution, conducting private placements and issuing shares to foreign strategic investors.

    The banks include Liên Việt Post Joint Stock Commercial Bank (LPBank), National Citizen Commercial Joint Stock Bank (NCB) and SaigonBank.

    NCB on January 2 said that the SBV allowed it to increase its charter capital to over VNĐ11.8 trillion (US$484.5 million). The lender will issue 620 million shares at VNĐ10,000 per share, bringing its charter capital from VNĐ5.6 trillion to VNĐ11.8 trillion.

    The increase is to supplement capital for business activities and strengthen the bank's financial capacity.

    The plan will be implemented after being approved by the State Securities Commission (SSC), expected in the second quarter of 2024. The transfer of these shares is restricted within one year from the date of completing the offering.

    Similarly, LPBank was approved to increase its charter capital from nearly VNĐ20.6 trillion to VNĐ25.6 trillion.

    Previously, the bank had already been granted permission to raise its charter capital by a maximum of nearly VNĐ11.4 trillion, as approved at the 2023 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Accordingly, it released over 328.5 million shares for dividend distribution at a rate of 19 per cent and also issued additional shares to existing shareholders with a total value of VNĐ5 trillion.

    With the increased charter capital, LPBank continues to rank among the top private joint-stock commercial banks with the largest charter capital in the banking system.

    In late December 2023, SaigonBank also obtained approval to raise its charter capital by up to VNĐ308 billion through a share issuance aimed at paying dividends to existing shareholders.

    The bank's representative said that the increase in charter capital is essential for SaigonBank to enhance its financial strength and embrace technological advancements in line with industry trends.

    On January 12, BacABank will finalise the list of shareholders receiving 2022's share dividends.

    In particular, BacABank plans to issue more than 62.5 million shares to pay dividends at a rate of 7.5 per cent, meaning a shareholder owning 1,000 shares will receive 75 new shares. The number of fractional shares (if any) will be distributed to the bank union.

    Charter capital plays a crucial role in measuring the Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) and determining the credit ratings of financial institutions. The CAR ratio is computed in accordance with Circular No. 41, which adopts internationally recognised Basel II standards and sets a minimum requirement of 8 per cent.

    However, experts noted that despite the continuous plans of banks to increase their capital, especially in the fourth quarter of 2023, with numerous banks actively completing the necessary procedures to distribute shares to increase charter capital and provide additional resources, the Vietnamese banking system still faces capital constraints, with a significantly lower Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) compared to many other countries in the region.

    In particular, several countries in the region have already implemented or partially adopted Basel III.

    According to the latest data released by the SBV, as of May 2023, the total charter capital of the entire credit institution system reached more than VNĐ888.8 trillion, up 1.35 per cent from the end of 2022. — VNS

    I am a “believer” in Shabibi even though he is dead. Saleh, who is an adviser to the PM was the Assistant Governor of the CBI under Shabibi and I just don’t believe he has abandoned Shabibi’s philosophy. A couple  of the requirements for the RV, according to Shabibi, were political and economic security. I don’t see that at this time. All my opinion of course. 
    I WANT the increase of the Dinar value RIGHT NOW! But my wants don’t change one darn thing. It’s not going to happen until several entities decide it’s the right time and I will never believe any news article will give us a clue when it is going to happen.  Tar and feather me if you will, but these are my thoughts and I’ve been in this since 2010. 

    I agree with what your saying.

     My question is....What was Shabibi's definition of being secure enough? And the definition of economic security. Of coarse we're talking IRAQ , and compared to what? The way they were? The way they want or perceive to be?

    The 12 to 1 is actually an agenda or a game plan if you read the full article.

    Pimpy flip flopped & dropped the ball then tried to damage control.

    The 12 to 1 agenda, or game plan, in the full drawn out article,  is actually common sense and basic math.

     

    Simple.....Tap into one of the 3 years of the budget  and divide by 12, gives you a monthly amount to tap into.  Mr. Pimple

  5.  Thousands of protesters demanding their late salaries block the main roads in Sulaymaniyah
     
    Baghdad today - Sulaymaniyah
    Today, Monday (January 8, 2024), protesting employees in Sulaymaniyah Governorate blocked the main roads in the governorate to demand the payment of their arrears.
    The "Baghdad Today" correspondent said, "Hundreds of protesting employees in Sulaymaniyah Governorate blocked the main roads in the governorate, while they decided to go on strike for several days until their demand is implemented and their late salaries are paid."
    He added that the employees headed towards the court and governorate building in Sulaymaniyah, to organize a protest demanding the payment of their salaries.
    This morning, the demonstrations of educational staff were renewed in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, with a categorical rejection of the decision to return to work, as the demonstrators stipulated that their demands be met.
    One of the demonstrators told "Baghdad Today", "The demonstrations will continue until the legitimate demands of educational personnel guaranteed by the constitution are met," stressing his rejection of "the return of work hours."
    Yesterday, Sunday (January 7, 2024), the Ministry of Education in the Kurdistan Government decided to return promotions to educational staff and transfer lecturers to contracts, while conditioning this on amending the budget.
    Many of the region's employees and teaching staff, especially in Sulaymaniyah Governorate, continue to demonstrate to demand the payment of their salaries that have been arrears for many months, amid the inability of Baghdad and Erbil to solve the crisis radically, and to be satisfied with "temporary" and "patchwork" solutions, according to observers of political and economic affairs.

    The economic expert, Mustafa Hantoush, described the government’s steps to provide electronic payment devices as successful, indicating that the number is small and needs encouraging measures, especially for shop owners.
    The Iraqi government had set June 1, 2023, as the date to activate the electronic payment process “because of its high level of protection and security, its shortening of time and effort, and its contribution to revitalizing the economy,” according to the directives of Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ al-Sudani.
    The directive stated that the Iraqi Council of Ministers approved the recommendation of the Council of Ministers for the Economy to activate the electronic payment service in the public and private sectors, including obligating all centers and shops of all kinds, restaurants, pharmacies, private medical clinics, warehouses, and all wholesale and retail marketing outlets and licensed services that require payment in their favor within the limits of the Baghdad Municipality. And the centers of governorates and districts throughout Iraq, opening bank accounts and providing point-of-sale devices for electronic payment ( POS ) to pay by bank cards to collect money and to enable those who wish to pay with cards, while maintaining cash receipts side by side, while linking the renewal of work licenses and granting vacations. Practicing the profession through the availability of these devices.
    Hantoush said in a press interview seen by “Taqaddam” that “the government has succeeded in providing POS devices currently deployed, numbering 23 thousand devices,” pointing out that “the number is very small, and we need approximately 1 million devices for this service to be available in every street.” If they are provided to all shops, we will need approximately 3 to 4 million devices throughout Iraq.”
    He added, “We must give licenses to new companies working to provide devices and cards, and there must be strategies to win over shop owners, and provide them with accounts that can be converted into dollars and transactions,” pointing out “the necessity of giving the citizen free service for a period of no less than six months to a year, and it must There should be interest on savings that remain for a specific period.”
    The economic expert called for “working on a pricing policy in this process,” noting that “the government has taken a significant set of measures that require more seriousness in order to spread this very important culture, which serves the state.”
