Abstract

The wave of financial liberalization raises questions about the competitiveness of Vietnamese commercial banks against those from other countries. The main purpose of this paper is to measure the market concentration using the k banks concentration ratio (CRk) and the Hirschman-Herfindahl index (HHI) and speculate on the market competition in Vietnamese banking sector under Panzar - Rosse approach. Overall, Vietnamese banking sector is found to be highly concentrated although it is experiencing a decreasing trend.Also, the speculation of market competition indicates a monopolistic behavior of Vietnamese commercial banks. Волна финансовой либерализации поднимает вопрос о конкурентоспособности вьетнамских коммерческих банков по отношению к банкам других стран. Основная цель данной работы заключается в измерении рыночной концентрации с помощью коэффициента концентрации (CRk), индекса Герфиндаля-Гиршмана (HHI) с использованием модели Панзара-Росса. В целом вьетнамский банковский сектор является сильно концентрированным, хотя испытывает тенденцию к ослаблению централизации. Кроме того,отмечается монопольное поведение вьетнамских коммерческих банков.
