Viet Nam : Enhancing Financial Stability (Scoping)

Sovereign Project | 47302-001

This S-PATA is designed to scope options for establishing a macroprudential framework and build capacity of the FSD.

The impact of the S-PATA will be stronger interagency and intra-agency coordination on financial stability. The expected outcome of the S-PATA is the SBV has a clear roadmap on developing a well-functioning institutional framework for macroprudential policy and capacity development needs. Stronger interagency and intra-agency coordination will help the SBV to monitor financial soundness and strengthen safeguards against financial instability so as to support restructuring efforts and to develop the banking sector as a solid foundation for macroeconomic and financial developments.

ADB and/or other development partner may consider following up with a larger scale capacity development TA to institutionalize and implement policy recommendations generated from this S-PATA.

Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
To achieve greater financial stability, the State Bank of Viet Nam (SBV) has requested technical assistance (TA) from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to setup an institutional framework for macro-prudential policy. This is a key recommendation of the Financial Sector Assessment Program (FSAP) recently conducted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank. Specific outputs in requested TA include: (i) macroprudential policy framework and mechanisms for intra-agency and inter-agency coordination and information exchange, (ii) design of macroprudential policy instruments that best suit Viet Nam's circumstances and current stage of financial sector development, and (iii) medium-term capacity development program for FSD staff.
