Surpassing the real estate group in total mobilized value

In fact, commercial banks have been the ones mobilizing the most through bonds in recent years, second only to the real estate group. Data from the Vietnam Bond Market Association (VBMA) in September showed that banks were the leaders in issuance value, reaching more than VND17,000 billion.

In the past 9 months, the value of corporate bonds issued reached approximately 398,000 billion VND. The banking group accounted for 73% of this, followed by real estate, securities and manufacturing.

Of which, MB is the bank that mobilized the most through this channel with 6,000 billion VND, followed by LPBank, Asia Commercial Bank (ACB) and HDBank. Due to the need to supplement medium and long-term resources, bank bonds all have a term of over 3 years. Some lots of BIDV and TPBank last 10-15 years.

According to statistics from S&I Rating, as of the third quarter, the market had 144 bond issuances, including 143 with a total value of VND148,000 billion, and one overseas issuance by VPBank worth USD300 million.

Although the trading volume in the third quarter decreased by 26% compared to the second quarter, records from S&I Rating show that banks such as Techcombank, BIDV, and ACB increased bond issuance.

Statistics of major issuances in September alone also include the names of many banks "participating", such as MB reaching 6,000 billion VND, VIB more than 2,000 billion VND; VPBank reaching 2,800 billion VND, ACB is 3,000 billion VND.

From an expert's perspective, sharing at a recent workshop, Mr. Nguyen Minh Duc - Deputy Head of Business Development, S&I Rating - emphasized that the corporate bond market is in the process of reshaping after a period of strong fluctuations.

Mr. Duc pointed out that the rate of late payment in the real estate group is still high, but the new legal framework and mandatory credit rating requirements will contribute to increasing transparency, strengthening investor confidence and opening up room for market development.

According to him, in 2021, the Vietnamese stock market increased by 35% and peaked that year. At the same time, the bond market also recorded the highest trading value and outstanding value in history. But this year, while the stock market continues to increase strongly, the bond market is still in the process of reshaping.
