In 2017, VAMC in collaboration with credit institutions reclaimed VND30.8 trillion (US$1.35 billion) in soured loans, up nearly VND2 trillion (US$87.9 million) year-on-year and 40% above the initial target.
With priority of buying up bad debts in credit institutions, VAMC is tasked with reviewing and implementing plans on handling bad debts on the basis of market mechanism, requested the SBV Deputy Governor Nguyen Kim Anh.
Additionally, VAMC will strive to purchase at least VND6.6 trillion (US$289 million) in toxic debts at market value, which is in conformity with a plan to restructure credit institutions in association with handling bad debts in the 2016 - 2020 period approved by the prime minister.
Consequently, the PM requested VAMC to limit buying bad debts through special bonds (maturity period from 5 to 10 years), in order to ensure safety and healthy development of the banking system.
In 2018, VAMC set target of purchasing bad debts worth VND27 trillion - VND32 trillion (US$1.1 billion - US$1.4 billion) with special bonds and VND3.5 trillion (US$153 million) with cash at market value, while handling bad debts worth VND24.9 trillion (US$1.1 billion).
