On March 12, 2018, the Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam issued Circular No.04/2018/TT-NHNN amending and supplementing Circular No.08/2017/TT-NHNN on banking supervisory processes and procedures. This Circular took effect since July 1, 2018.
Accordingly, Circular No.04/2018/TT-NHNN provides some new highlights as follows:
– Recommendations and warnings.
– Administrative penalties prescribed by laws.
– Early intervention action.
– Other banking supervisory actions that are suggested to competent authorities in accordance with laws
– Banking Inspection and Supervision Chief, and Directors of State Bank Branches of centrally-affiliated cities and provinces where the Banking Inspection and Supervision Department is not located, shall request the State Bank’s Governor to consider issuing the written document on imposition of early intervention action on entities subject to banking supervision;
– Banking Inspection and Supervision Chief shall consider issuing the written document on imposition of early intervention action on entities subject to banking supervision, including people’s credit funds and microfinance institutions within local subdivisions under the control of the Banking Inspection and Supervision Department;
