Abstract

The study analyzed the data of 23 joint stock commercial banks in Vietnam from 2009 to 2017 to examine the impact of factors affecting their bad debt rate. The fixed-effect regression (FE) and random effects (RE) were used. The study found that the higher bad debt rate in the previous years, the much higher it was in the current year. Also, the higher provisioning fund the bank had, the much higher the bad debt was. Thereby, suggestions are made to deal with bad debts at joint stock commercial banks.
