valuable papers discount, bank guarantees, credit card issuing and factoring The State orients, regulates, inspects, and monitors closely the process of diversification of credit activity At the same time, it provides diverse information, support, orientation, and facilitates the process of diversification of credit activity of commercial banks 20 The state’s regulation and support included the SBV’s regulation, and state the State Bank Branch HCMC’s regulation, impact from HCMC government through programs of economic and social development, SBV’s regulation through licensing activity for other forms of credit support activity, enabling development of credit activity by providing credit information of the SBV, facilitating for SMEs to access credit capital of the commercial banks through credit guarantee for SMEs, coordinating, facilitating to exchange information between customers, commercial banks and state management agencies This activity mainly focused on lending, the SBV and State Bank HCMC Branch regulated lending activity to serve the production needs, restricted extending loans to the business sector of investment property estate, securities, consumer; and at the

lending laws and regulations restrict lending on business factor of investment real estate, securities, and consumer Through the years’s fact, a number of commercial banks had not strictly complied the credit activity’s law, violating credit activity’s regulations, not comply with the law in loan classification and provisioning and had violations of credit activity, bank guarantee, not legal compliance of credit records, appraisal and loan approval, improper loans, loans ineligible, unstrictly implementation sufficiency in regulation of credit growth, debt hiding in various forms showed that inspection and supervision of the SBV was an urgent requirement 2.3.5 Achievements and limitations of state management in diversification of credit activity of commercial banks in HCM City - Achievement: The state’s activities oriented inflation control and macroeconomic stability The law of diversification of credit activity has achieved significant improvement Regulating expansion of diversified lending activity; limiting lending to certain high-risk areas to ensure safety in credit activities and facilitate of information, customer support and accessing to commercial banks credit in diversification of credit activitity Regulations of inspection and supervision were completed gradually, the author's aggregate results from SBV’s information about operating, monitoring showed that regulations of credit activities’ safety also improved gradually, has created a legal framework for the inspection and supervision of the process of diversification of credit activity, helped commercial banks supervise and inspect to ensure safety and contribute to ensuring the safety of the system 21 Limitations: The state concentration on preventing the risk of monetary inflation from credit channel through lending activities, so the state’s development orientation activities of diversifying credit activity in the period of 2006-2012 mainly focused on lending activity The regulations promulgation had not kept up with fast evolution of the economy, had not reviewed and evaluated the implementation of the regular form of commercial banks’ credit to update the regulations issued uniform and in accordance with the legal provisions that were effective Because orientation almost based on lending, it has made the regulatory activity to be primarily directed at lending activities and focus on the diversification of lending In many cases, regulation and intervention by administrative methods were used to control for a number of areas to reduce lending risks, but it often lacked of guidance and lacked of credit information to facilitate diversity, support for the development of other credit forms of commercial banks, exploite the advantages of each form, each type and each method of credit to disperse and reduce risk.The inspection and supervision focused on safety risks of each commercial bank, the legal basis for inspection, monitoring macro safety risks have not been issued yet, that affected the law implementation process of credit activity of some commercial banks have not strictly followed, in violation of regulations through the diversification of credit activity 2.3.6 Factors affecting the results of state management in diversification of credit activity of commercial banks in HCM City First, the development of social-economic development and the financial markets development level: With high economic growth rates, per capita income increase higher, multi-sector economic activity, diversified and frequently credit demand created need for diversification of credit acitivity However, finance markets in Vietnam in general and in HCM City in particular has not developed yet, not create more financial products to participate in the various credit transactions, especially the CCCN and valuable papers to develop discount activity Bank credit market mainly focused on lending, not really diversified credit activity yet, making the law of diversification credit activities can not fully implemented, reduce the impact and effectiveness of state management in the process of diversifying credit activity Second, the economic and social development orientation: Deriving from the social-economic conditions in each stage, the orientation of the State towards inflation control and macro-economic stability, prevent the risk of monetary inflation from credit channel, especially lending, so the orientation activities, regulation, direction, administration and inspection and supervision of the State Bank and the State Bank City Branch HCM is not directed to deploy diversifying credit activities but focus and direct to lending activity Since then, it had not built specific objectives and proposed solutions to diversify credit activity, impact on the outcome of state management in diversification of credit activities 22 Third, project of developing banking and finance services construction and implementation: Formulation and implementation of development schemes banking and financial services in HCM City had not specified goals of credit activity’s diversification in the construction and implementation of the project Thereby, it impacted on orientation, regulation and inspection and supervision of the State Bank HCMC Branch, not aimed to diversifying credit activity and affected the results of the state management in diversification of credit activity Fourth, application of state management methods: The state applied administrative method for direct intervention in lending activity that has created circumvention of regulations phenomena, lack of compliance from commercial banks and causing some difficult to regulate the activities of the SBV, showed that the intervention by the administrative method was not really appropriate, impacted the outcome of state management in diversification of credit activity Fifth, tool selection of state management and support of the State: the State has chosen to use the full suite of state management tools that influenced the diversification of credit activity However, it had not promoted the role of the state management tools in creating the best conditions for the development of other multiutilities credit forms of commercial banks, contribute to improve the results of state management in diversification of credit activity Sixth, compliance with the laws of diversifying credit activities of commercial banks and customers: A number of commercial banks had not complied with the regulations relating to credit form and lack of transparency in the crediting process, that has impacted the effectiveness of state management and influence the outcome of state management in diversification of commercial banks in HCM City 2.3.7 Evaluation of State management in diversification of credit activity of commercial banks in HCM City First, the evaluation by validity criteria: Legislation of diversification of credit activity lacked uniformity, consistency and compatibility between laws and performance guidelines In addition, some commercial banks have not followed, violating rules during diversifying credit activity, not public, transparent, not seriously implemented regulations on credit growth, conceal debt in many ways Therefore, the validity criteria, state management in diversification of credit activity have not fully met the requirements Second, the evaluation by effectiveness criteria: legal framework have been adjusted and added several times but it was still note consistent, uniform and timely Regulation and testing, inspection and compliance monitoring primarily on lending acitivity, make the operation of state management in diversification of credit activity in HCM City has not really effective 23 Third, the evaluation by appropriate criteria: The law has been improved gradually, but the regulations on lending, bank guarantees, credit card issuance, factoring is not synchronous, inappropriate with the 2010 Law on Finance Institutions The state used administrative method to intervent directly in lending activity through administrative methods which was not fit, making state management of diversification of credit activity not really met the appropriate criteria requirements Fourth, the evaluation by equality criteria: the customers access to suitable source of credit with suitable type and method of credit granting Ensure principles of credit refund, credit supply conditions However, SMEs face many difficulties in credit accession There are many reasons for this situation From the SME side: lack of transparency, poor corporate governance, not ensuring loan conditions; from bank side: not to use the utility and advantages of each appropriate form, type and method of credit granting, primarily focus on lending and risk aversion in lending On the other hand, high interest rate is one of the obstacles which cause firms difficult to access credit Fifth, the evaluation by sustainability criteria: State Bank guided to ensure safety for each credit form and limited for each type of credit However, law are issued by the state for each form of credit, types and methods of credit has been adjusted and added pretty much, that was difficult to access due to inappropriate, inconsistent, hardly access to life, and lack of long-term stability The evaluation by sustainability criteria showed that laws have not guaranteed long-term stability, and many changes have not ensured the requirements of sustainability criteria CHAPTER IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS FOR STATE MANAGEMENT IN
