The full-year pre-tax profit in 2023 of VietABank reached over VND 928 billion, a decrease of 16.2% compared to 2022 and only achieved 73% of the plan. The main reason was the sharp increase in provisions for bad debts, which narrowed the profit despite positive results from key revenue sources.

Looking at the profit rankings, the business results of banks in 2023 showed significant differentiation.

Vietcombank continued to lead the industry’s profit rankings with an estimated pre-tax profit of over VND 41,000 billion. The top 5 profits this year included the Big 4 (Vietcombank, BIDV, Agribank, VietinBank) and MB.

Only 7 banks achieved profits over VND 20,000 billion. In addition to the Big 4 group (Vietcombank, BIDV, Agribank, VietinBank), MB (over VND 26,000 billion), Techcombank (nearly VND 22,900 billion), and ACB (VND 20,068 billion) also achieved high profits.

The Q4/2023 profits of banks showed significant differentiation. Currently, Saigonbank (SGB) has the highest growth, with a pre-tax profit of VND 84 billion, 92 times higher than the same period in 2022. Many banks experienced negative growth in Q4/2023, such as VIB, MSB, TPB, and others. Additionally, some banks incurred losses in the fourth quarter of this year.

Most private banks did not meet their approved profit plans in 2023. The main reason was their significant increase in provisions for bad debts, resulting in narrowed profits despite positive results in many business areas.

In the group of private banks, Techcombank and ACB achieved close to their planned profit. However, VPBank, VIB, MSB, TPBank, Eximbank, and others did not meet their plans.
