2016 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I desire to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Dr Le Ho An Chau for her devotion to this thesis completion Her recommendations really help to improve the quality of this study very much My special thanks for all lecturers who taught me many profound and useful knowledge Thanks all VNP office employees who supported me so much during my master course Besides, I really appreciated unforgettable memories that I have experienced with all my classmates in VNP class 21 This friendship will be maintained and developed deeply in future Lastly, I would like to show my thankfulness to my family who really supported me so much and therefore I am enabled to finish this course ABSTRACT This thesis investigates the impact of the liquidity level of collaterals on the probability of default of individual loans and examines the channels through which collaterals affect default risks Following the approach of Jiménez and Saurina (2004), binominal logit model is applied on the data from individual loan accounts of a medium – size commercial bank in Vietnam The empirical results suggest the significant and negative impact of collaterals’ liquidity on loans’ probability of default, supporting the dominance of borrower selection effect and risk shifting effect over lender selection effect Moreover, the finding also implies that bank has not applied carefully and thoroughly screening process on loans that are fully secured by low liquid collaterals and therefore impaired the credit quality of loan portfolio CONTENTS CHAPTER 1.1 Research

world since they lead to the financial crisis in East Asian countries, America and Sub-Saharan Africa (Farhan, Satta, Chaudrhy & Khalil, 2012) Therefore, finding out the main determinants of NPL plays an important role in policy making in order to prevent the future bad debts (Adebola, Wan Yusoff, & Dahala (2011) in Farhan et al (2012)) Previous studies identify that macro-economic conditions, bank and borrowers specific characteristics, loans characteristics, relationship banking1, and collaterals are key drivers of default risks and hence NPL The relation between collateral characteristics and loan default is investigated in many studies over the world However, the findings are inconsistent among different papers, some of which show positive relationship while the others provide evidence of a negative effect Berger, Frame and Ioannidou (2011) find a positive relationship between collaterals pledge and ex-post NPL in Bolivia for the period from 1998 to 2003 This result is supported by Jiménez and Saurina (2004) for Spain Berger and Udell (1990) in Leitner (2006) shows that borrowers who pledge collaterals tend to be worse and therefore are riskier Leitner (2006) explains that this finding is due to collaterals’ requirement of banks for riskier borrowers In contrast, John, Lynch and Puri (2003) investigate the yield difference between secured and unsecured loans in US and conclude that higher yield is decided by secured loans This result implies that borrowers who pledge collaterals are more efficient than others Kugler and Oppes (2005) investigate the impact of collaterals2 on loans risk in case of group lending in a developing country and find that collaterals are used by individuals to prevent loans default under joint borrowing Banks who supply more services in long time for customers will have more private information of their customers according to Argawal et al (2009) Collateral in this paper is defined as equity capital of individual dedicated to investment projects Berger et al (2011) argue that the diversified findings about this relationship arise from the variation of data samples which include different types and characteristics of collaterals Moreover, previous papers investigate only the impact of collaterals on NPL by comparing the default risk (probability of default) between secured loans and unsecured loans To my knowledge, there is very limited work on the impact of different collateral types and characteristics on default risk Berger et al (2011) find that liquid collaterals decrease the probability of default when compared to non-liquid collaterals However, previous papers mainly focus on loans for companies/enterprises rather than individual and consumer loans In Vietnam, bad debt has increased sharply since 2011 and still been serious until now As we can see in Figure and 2, NPL ratio has risen from 4.08% in Dec-2012 up to 4.67% in April2013, then decreased lightly to 4.46% in Jun-2013 and kept declining to 2.58% in Jun-2016 However, this does not represent an improvement in loan quality of banks but due to banks’ switching to other asset titles in the balance sheet to hide bad debts The Viet Nam Assets Management Company (VAMC) was established on July-2013 with its main objective is bad debts purchasing by issuing special bonds for payment As of Jun-2016, VAMC purchased about 251.000 billions of bad debts from banks and only 15% of these bad debts were collected (VAMC, 2016) Hence, these purchased bad debts help to reduce NPL of banks but they were not collected in reality and still harm the whole economy Furthermore, many bad debts have been restructured but still classified as normal debts instead of bad debt in almost Vietnamese banks (this problem is permitted by the State Bank of Viet Nam) and therefore these bad debts were hidden Figure 1: NPL rate of Viet Nam for the period from Dec-2012 to Jun-2013 Source: State Bank of Viet Nam in

notoriously risky because of information asymmetry problem which are high in developing countries United Nations Conference on Trade and Development - UNCTAD (2005) explains that high level of
