Conversely, many banks have also taken steps to repurchase bond issues ahead of schedule. Specifically, Southeast Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (SeABank) announced the early repurchase of the entire VND 500 billion bond issue SSBH225002, issued on May 5, 2022, with a 3-year term, expected to mature on May 5, 2025.

According to FiinRatings' data as of May 2nd, 2024, the market saw 13 new bond issuances in April with a total value of VND 13,900 billion, a 29.1% increase compared to the previous month and 5.2 times higher than the same period last year. Besides the real estate sector, which remains dominant, banks also significantly increased their fundraising activities through bond issuance.
FiinRatings notes that banks are stepping up bond issuance amid signs of reduced market liquidity, evidenced by the overnight interbank interest rate jumping above 4% in April.
This is a result of the State Bank of Vietnam's continuous withdrawal of liquidity through open market operations (OMO) in recent times; at the same time, deposit mobilization from the public by credit institutions also slowed down in the first quarter of 2024, recording a decrease of 0.76% compared to the end of 2023 (data from the General Statistics Office).
Banks are also increasing fundraising through bond issuance to supplement medium- and long-term capital, as regulations on the ratio of short-term capital to medium- and long-term lending are tightened, and to balance capital in preparation for a recovery in credit growth this year .
