After the global financial - monetary crisis in 2008, the domestic macro-economy fell into recession and there were many signs of prolonged instability, the Vietnamese economy revealed many systemic weaknesses, which most obviously are low labor productivity and competitiveness. Faced with that situation, the Government of Vietnam has carried out economic restructuring associated with transforming the growth model towards improving quality, efficiency and competitiveness. Three focus areas of economic restructuring have been identified by the Government, including:

(i) Investment restructuring, focusing on public investment;

(ii) Restructuring state-owned enterprises, focusing on corporations and corporations;

(iii) Restructuring the financial system, focusing on credit institutions.

Of the three above-mentioned focuses, the restructuring of the financial system was identified as very difficult, because of the existing problems and limitations of both the commercial banking sector and the state budget sector which prolonged. The handling of restructuring in both these areas is extremely sensitive, affecting all three basic tasks of economic restructuring, including: (i) Stabilizing the economy; (ii) Reform the State - market relationship to facilitate business; and (iii) Modernizing the economic structure.

Overcoming these difficulties, the results of restructuring the financial system in the early stages are very encouraging. Weak and at-risk joint-stock credit institutions have been closely monitored and rearranged, implemented to handle bad debts, healthy balance sheets, and ensure system safety. The financial market is stable, safe, and liquidity is guaranteed. By the end of December 2015, the system of credit institutions reached a capital adequacy ratio of 13% (the prescribed minimum level is 9%) and fully met the ratios of solvency and short-term capital for providing medium and long-term loans in accordance with the law. The size of the financial market, including the stock market, maintained its growth momentum. Discipline and discipline in the money market and in the banking sector are strengthened, improving the healthy and safe level of the business environment. The system of credit institutions has both restructured and ensured continued growth to support the economy. The average lending interest rate decreased from 17.9% in 2011 to 9.08% in 2015, thanks to which credit growth gradually improved. In the context of a sharp decrease in deposit interest rates, an increase in total capital mobilization from the economy of the system of credit institutions shows that the public's confidence in the banking system has improved.

However, restructuring the financial system has many limitations such as the slow change in the structure of the financial market, the mobilization and allocation of medium and long-term investment capital still relies heavily on the financial system. commercial banks, while the participation of non-banking institutions is relatively limited. Although the size of the stock market has grown rapidly, it has not yet become the most important medium and long-term funding channel for the corporate sector. Capital market institutions are not fully developed, especially there are no credit rating agencies. In addition, many systemic and long-term weaknesses of credit institutions have not been fundamentally resolved, especially the problem of bad debt, cross-ownership and risky banking management; Some commercial banks have not been completely handled, which is very weak and shows signs of bankruptcy. Therefore, the risk of the whole system and the risk of each credit institution is still very large.

Regarding the limitations of budget expenditure restructuring, it can be seen that the state's spending scale is still large, not effectively controlled, continuously increasing rapidly and in danger of exceeding the current capacity of the State. economy, limiting the development investment potential of the country. State budget balance continues to be difficult, the budget deficit persists, public debt is still increasing rapidly and nearly reaching the ceiling of 65% of GDP, the Government debt has exceeded the ceiling of 50% of GDP, the proportion of investment and development spending has dropped sharply only. remaining 15.2% of the total budget expenditure in 2015, affecting the scale of public investment in areas necessary to promote labor productivity such as infrastructure, education - training, and technology.
