The thesis aims to evaluate current VID Public Bank’s asset and liability management Based on the evaluation, in accordance with Asset-Liability Management theories, the thesis proposes recommendations for VID Public Bank to improve its Asset-Liability Management activities Asset and liability management (ALM) includes liquidity risk management and interest rate risk management For the liquidity management of the bank, background’s description showed that liquidity management activities of VIDPB are very simple and base on static analysis without taking into account forecasts of future liquidity supply and demand As such, in special circumstances such as unstable business environment, tight monetary policy, etc., the bank usually lacks liquidity and has difficulties in conforming to SBV’s VND liquidity ratio requirements The study also explored the shortcomings of the activities The study then used the cash-flow based approach to calculate the liquidity gap of the bank in the future In accordance with theoretical framework, the study found out suitable actions that the bank should take in this situation Regarding to the interest rate risk management in VID Public Bank, the study showed that the bank has not really managed interest rate risk yet The empirical results of duration gap model and repricing gap model calculated the bank’s repricing gaps and overall duration gap and showed that the bank is liabilities sensitive If interest rates increase 3%, the bank may supper high losses of VND27.39 Billion Another analysis on VND interest rate movements from 2008 to 2010 was conducted and indicated that market interest rates in Vietnam fluctuate frequently and significantly, subject banks to substantial interest rate risk In order to hedge the bank’s losses, the author employed the duration gap management instruments and forward contract (which is available in Vietnamese market currently) to demonstrate the usefulness of interest rate risk hedging instruments With these result, the thesis proposed recommendations for VID Public Bank on Asset and liabilities Management activities as well as ALCO’s functions and organization TABLE OF

Risk sensitivity of asset Risk sensitivity of liability State Bank of Viet Nam VID Public Bank INTRODUCTION Rationale of study FINAL PROJECT VID Public Bank is a joint venture bank between Bank for Investment and Development of Viet Nam and Public Bank Berhad, Malaysia The Bank was established in May 1992 and after 19 years in operations; it now has one Head Office and seven branches in major cities of Viet Nam Being the first joint venture bank in Vietnam with enthusiastic & well-trained staff force and enormous support from Public Bank Malaysia in term of management skills, VID Public Bank has been one of the most profitable and prudent banks in Vietnam However, given the early stage of development of financial markets in Vietnam, management of Vietnamese banks in general and of VID in particular still falls behind world’s best practices In 2008, facing the fluctuation of market interest rates and the effect of global financial crisis, the Bank has shown several weaknesses in business and risk management Especially, the Bank’s mismatch between asset and liability in term of volumes, maturity and interest rate due to its lack of proper bank-wide AssetLiability Management (ALM) was the main reason of profit decrease in the first month of 2009 These and many other situations showed that VID Public Bank needs to re-examine, reassess and improve its asset and liability management in order to enhance the risk-return profile of the bank’s portfolio, thus maximize two main targets of ALM, namely the interest income and the net present value of assets minus liabilities The thesis attempts to address these issues Research objectives The research has main objectives:  Review theoretical framework about Asset-Liability Management that are applicable to the practical business  Evaluate current VID Public Bank’s Asset-Liability Management activities  Based on the study and evaluation, in accordance to Asset-Liability Management theories, the research will propose recommendations for VID Public Bank to improve its Asset-Liability Management activities Therefore, studies conducted throughout this thesis are mainly intended to answer the following questions, the answers to which are important for improving ALM of the Bank: - What is Asset and Liability Management? FINAL PROJECT - How does VID Public Bank conduct Asset and Liability Management currently? Why does VID Public Bank need to improve its Asset and Liability Management? What can be proposed to improve Asset-Liability Management at VID Public Bank? Research methodology Models that banks use in ALM are liquidity gaps for liquidity risk; and repricing gaps, duration gaps and simulations for interest rate risk Due to the lack of information and the sophistication of simulation method, the thesis will conduct empirical research using the three other methods, namely liquidity gaps, repricing gaps and duration gaps The thesis will also attempt to find descriptive evidence about the bank’s current ALM methods or the lack of them The thesis structure Introduction Chapter I: Theoretical Framework Chapter II: Asset and Liability Management at VID Public Bank Chapter III: Empirical Results and Economic Analysis Chapter IV: Recommendations to improve Asset and Liability Management in VID Public Bank Conclusion
