Summary rating rationale
The rating on Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) reflects the bank’s strong franchise and its business position as the third-largest domestic bank by assets and distribution network. BIDV also benefits from its status as one of the four large majority state-owned (95,76%) commercial banks in a confidence-sensitive system. BIDV's stable deposit base and access to funding from the government and international lending organizations for developmental projects underpin its funding profile. S&P believes that the bank has "high" systemic importance in Vietnam and assesses the Vietnam government as "highly supportive."
Rating Outlook
The “stable” rating outlook on BIDV reflects S&P expectation that the bank will maintain its financial profile despite challenging and volatile operating conditions in Vietnam over the next 12 months.
