Would you mind telling us more clearly about objects under restructuring in the time to come?
The objects under restructuring in the coming time are all credit institutions including commercial banks being sold at the price of 0 VND, aiming at ensuring the system stability and protecting the interests of depositors. Accordingly, credit institutions must build and submit to competent authorities for approval and deployment of the restructuring plan. As for the banks being sold at 0 VND, the SBV has its own project to submit to the Government and the Politburo for their approval.
Besides, various solutions shall be made in details by types of credit institutions, including State-owned commercial banks holding more than 50% of charter capital; joint-stock commercial banks, financial companies and financial leasing companies; foreign credit institutions; Co-operative Banks, people's Credit Fund and micro-finance institutions.
There are individuals solutions of restructuring healthy credit institutions and those of restructuring weak ones.
At the meeting held recently to talk on the banking sector’s task performance and plan, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc insisted that the SBV should “ensure the safety and stability of the system of credit institutions, protect the interests of the State and depositors in the process of credit institution restructuring". Is it one of the core principles of the SBV in the credit institution restructuring process?

It shall be also primary principle mainstreaming the process in the year to come.
Accordingly, measures and forms of restructuring shall be made in line with the specific characteristics of each credit institution and the market mechanism based on ensuring the interests of depositors and maintaining stability and safety of the financial system in accordance with the Party's policies on restructuring the financial markets, with a special focus on credit institutions as advised in to Resolution No. 05-NQ / TW dated 01/11/2016 of the Central Party Committee XII’s 4th Conference.
