We aren\u2019t able to assess how long the outbreak and its economic effects will continue, but clearly 1Q20 NIM is set to decrease across the sector given the reduced yields for payments due Jan 23 to Mar 30.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nuanced effect on reported asset quality metrics.<\/strong> On the surface, rescheduling loan payments while maintaining debt categorizations should help to constrain any rise in reported NPLs. However, we expect the banks to set aside higher provisions anyway, despite the lack of any change in reported NPLs. Doing so would clearly be prudent, but increased provisioning would obviously dent earnings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is not really a surprise\u2026<\/strong> Strictly applying credit standards is typically appropriate when specific borrowers have trouble, but not in periods such as the present, when a disruptive economic shock occurs across a very wide swath of industries. We noted this expectation as among the reasons for our downgrade of BID (to SELL) on Feb 14 (see BID VN &#8212; Enough is enough for details).<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8230;But earnings forecast cuts are likely going forward given the outlook for lower NIMs and higher provisions<\/strong>, even if the headwinds lift by 2Q20\u2014which for many enterprises may prove to be an optimistic assumption. The consensus is currently forecasting 19% weighted average sector earnings growth in 2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s next?<\/strong> Achieving the 6.8% 2020 GDP growth target may require increased credit after the outbreak has peaked and economic activity has bottomed. The SBV may thus raise the banks aggregate loan growth quota by 1ppt to 15% YoY for 2020. Doing so would support enterprises and the economy, and it also may be a medium-term catalyst for bank stocks\u2014after the current headwinds have lifted.<\/p>\n<p>For the complete report, please access here: <a href=\"http:\/\/yuanta-uat.ysvn.com.vn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/Banks-told-to-cut-or-delay-loan-repayment_Express-Note.pdf\">Banks told to cut or delay loan repayment_Express Note<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Analyst: Tanh Tran<\/strong>,\u00a0<em>tanh.tran@yuanta.com.vn<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banks Sector \u2014 Overweight COVID-19 forces forebearance on borrowers The SBV has ordered commercial banks to reduce or delay loan repayments to enterprises hit by the Covid-19 outbreak.
