After the project receives approval, the SBV will develop plans to implement measures as set out in the project.
According to the SBV, besides improving the safe level of credit organizations, the SBV will focus on enhancing efficiency and effectiveness of state management and discipline in the field, as well as intensifying the fight against law violations in monetary and banking fields.
The comprehensive restructuring across financing, operation and governance of credit organizations will be accelerated using methods and road-maps suitable with specific characteristics of each credit organization.
Handling bad debt will be accompanied by preventive measures in order to minimize new bad debt.
In 2017, the asset management company (VAMC) will play a greater role in handling bad debt to maintain the rate of bad debt at the safe level (below three percent of the total outstanding loans).
