Eximbank has asserted that a document circulating on social media, which claims to be an urgent petition concerning severe system risks threatening the bank’s operations, did not originate from Eximbank.

The bank is currently requesting assistance from authorities to verify and investigate the motives behind the document's distribution.

The document, which has been circulating widely online, alleges significant risks that could jeopardize the safety of Eximbank’s operations and suggests the potential collapse of the bank's system. However, the document consists of only one page, lacks any signatures or official seals, and has raised doubts about its legitimacy.

Eximbank has clarified that this document is not an official communication from the bank’s Supervisory Board, nor does it come from any department within Eximbank. The bank emphasized that the document is unverified and has an unclear origin.

Eximbank has requested that relevant authorities investigate the motives behind the release of this document to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the bank, its customers, shareholders, and partners.

In a statement issued this evening, Eximbank reassured the public that the bank is operating stably, safely, and effectively, catering to the diverse financial needs of its customers and partners. The bank's financial figures are always transparently disclosed and independently audited according to international standards.

Key financial indicators remain highly stable and safe, meeting all capital and liquidity requirements, with the bank well-positioned to withstand market risks. Eximbank continues to comply with regulations set by the law and the State Bank of Vietnam, ensuring transparency across all its operations.

As for the business results for the first nine months of 2024, Eximbank's total assets increased by 11% compared to the beginning of the year and grew by 16.9% year-over-year.

Total deposits rose by 9.1% since the start of the year, up 12.2% year-over-year. Loans increased by 15.1% from the beginning of the year and 18.9% year-over-year.

Pre-tax profit showed consistent growth across quarters, with a 39% increase in Q3 compared to the same period last year.

The bank’s capital adequacy ratio (CAR) remains in the 12-14% range, well above the 8% requirement set by the State Bank of Vietnam.
