Saigon - Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank: Update following H1 2021 results - Credit Opinion – 2021/10/05 – US$ 250.00 – ...Saigon - Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank's (SHB) B2 long-term deposit and issuer ratings reflect the bank's b3 Baseline Credit Assessment (BCA) and a one-notch uplift based on our assessment of a moderate probability of support from the Government of Vietnam (Ba3 positive) in times of need. Our assessment of a moderate probability of government support takes into consideration the bank's modest share of 3% each in system assets and system deposits as of the end of March 2021. SHB's b3 BCA takes into consideration its thin loss-absorbing buffers against rising asset risks because of the coronavirus pandemic. The bank has been making steady progress in resolving its legacy problem assets, but we expect credit costs to continue weighing on its profitability until its problem assets are fully resolved. SHB's funding and liquidity are moderate. In August 2021, SHB announced an agreement with Bank of Ayudhya (BAY, Baa1 stable, baa3) to sell a 100% equity stake in SHBANK Finance Company Limited...

Saigon - Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank: Update following rating review - Credit Opinion – 2020/04/16 – US$ 250.00 – ...On 7 April 2020, we placed on review for downgrade all ratings and assessments of Saigon - Hanoi Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SHB) to reflect our expectations that the bank's loans to the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam (around 31% of gross loans as of year- end 2019) will pose renewed asset risk for the bank as SMEs generally have limited financial buffers to withstand revenue shocks caused by the coronavirus outbreak. Compared with other Vietnamese banks we rate, SHB's loan-loss reserves and capitalization are weak and will provide little buffers against rising risks. The review for downgrade will focus on the quality of the bank's loans to borrowers operating in industries directly affected by the coronavirus outbreak, as well as its consumer finance loans that are currently extended through its subsidiary, SHBANK Finance Company Limited (SHB Finance, B3 review for downgrade). The review will also focus on the effectiveness of domestic and global policy responses in supporting...

Our assessment of a moderate probability of government support takes into consideration the bank's modest 3% share of system assets and system deposits as of year-end 2018, as well as the history of regulatory forbearance in Vietnam. SHB's b3 BCA takes into consideration the bank's weak asset quality, which is strained by a large stock of legacy problem assets, modest profitability, as well as weak capitalization. The bank's higher-than-system-average loan growth in 2014-17 and its large exposure to cyclical sectors, such as agriculture, construction and real estate, will also pose downside risks to asset quality. Finally, the BCA also reflects SHB's average funding and liquidity. On 19 December 2019, we confirmed SHB's long-term Counterparty...
