EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Summary of market overview in 2018

Global economy was expected to grow 3.2% in 2018 in the context of complicated global
financial situation with tightening policy, US basic interest rate increased, along with stronger
Dollar. Besides, US-China trade tensions escalated, Brexit instability, tax policy and budget
dispute between Italy-EU negatively influenced the global economy. Global stock market in
the first nine months of the year was quite good before sharply decreasing at the end of 2018.
Chinese stocks has fell by nearly 25% since the beginning of the year, the S&P500 index fell
by nearly 10% in December only - the worst since February 2009. Global commodity prices
also fluctuated strongly in the second half of the year, when crude oil fell close by the lowest
level of the recent three years, while gold price surged to the highest level of six months

In the circumstance, Vietnam's economy in 2018 still maintained a high growth rate. The
country has completed and exceeded all of the 12 basic targets planned, with an increase of
7.08% in GDP, surpassing all of the most optimistic forecasts. Inflation was under control;
Consumer price index maintained at 3.54%. The major balances of the economy were
guaranteed. Export of goods reached 245 billion USD, 13.8% higher than that of 2017; Export
surplus of goods (7.2 billion USD);

Vietnam's financial system continued to develop sustainably. In the first half of 2018, the
liquidity of the credit institution system was abundant due to the support from the SBV
spending VND to buy about USD 11 bil , but from the end of July 2018, the liquidity was
weaker due to pressure from the exchange rate and increasing demands in the end of the year,
also the credit institutions restructured their capital to ensure the ratio of short-term capital
for medium and long-term loans decreased to 40%, leading to a slight increase in interest rates
on both primary and secondary market. Credit grew by 14%, lower than the target (17%),
deposit growth reached 14.5%. During the year, the central exchange rate increased by 1.5%,
the commercial bank exchange rate increased by 2.8% and the free market exchange rate
increased by 3.5% compared to that in the beginning of 2018, mainly due to the increase of
about 5% in the USD index from the beginning of the year. The exchange rate was still under
pressure from inflation but was supported positively from the balance of supply and demand
of foreign currency. In the short term, Fed's move to raise interest rates in 2018 has not put
any big pressure on the SBV, especially in the context of low inflation, stable macro economy
and relatively high growth.

  Implementation status of expense items
   Compared to 2017: Operating expenses increased by VND 121.9 bil (7.8%), the reasons
    are as follows:
   - Expenses for staff: increased by VND 64.5 bil (8.9%) due to the increase in the number
     of employees on demand to change the operating model. In addition, the increase in
     average salaries leads to increased staff costs.
   - Expenses for management activities: increased by VND 76.7 bil (19%) mainly due to
     the increase in marketing costs, conference costs aiming at brand promotion and the
     increase in administration cost to maintain business operation. Also, travelling
     allowance and training expenses increased to boost human development.
   - Expenses for assets: increased by VND 20.2 bil ( 5.7%) due to higher costs of
     maintenance, repairs in 2018 and the cost of renting the property increased to meet the
     need to change or renovate the business location
   - Provisions and customer’s deposit insurance: decreased by VND 39.2 bil. The reason
     is that there were provisions in 2017 while the year 2018 didn’t arise
