Abstract

Microfinance plays an essential role in the socio-economic development of each country through support for poverty reduction. In Vietnam, hunger eradication and poverty reduction under the National Target Program have received attention and implementation in recent years. However, during 2020-2021, Vietnam had several difficulties and hurdles for microfinance organizations, exacerbated by the Covid-19 outbreak, which was hurting the country and all sectors of social life. Microfinance is an excellent instrument for long-term poverty reduction since it teaches the poor how to do business and save and provides essential information. However, microfinance has not yet reached its full potential in our nation. One of the suggested reasons is the legal framework impediment. Thus, the research examines the State's policies for microfinance operations using a survey of 260 staffs related to microfinance activities from 30 microfinance organizations and 30 commercial banks in Vietnam, with data processed using SPSS 20.0. Finally, the study's value suggests ideas for removing barriers to continued microfinance activity development in Vietnam.

Abstract

Commercial banks and the financial industry face considerable hurdles in light of the fourth Covid-19 outbreak. Commercial banks continuously put capital adequacy measures in place to fulfill Basel regulations. One of the main ways they do this is by issuing bonds, which boost tier 2 capital sources. This helps mobilize capital and assure capital safety for the market's borrowing requirements in the long run. As a result, considering both external and internal variables, this research seeks to investigate what influences the capital adequacy ratio of Vietnam's joint-stock commercial banks. Between 2011 and 2022, the authors combed through data from 25 different Vietnamese joint-stock commercial banks. The authors employed the system generalized method of moments model and other conventional techniques for panel data analysis. The authors derived key findings: Fourteen components are statistically significant at the 1% level, affecting the capital adequacy ratio. Therefore, it is evident that the equity capital of Vietnamese commercial banks has successfully met the required safety standards for assets with credit risk as per legislation. As a result, this assists Vietnamese commercial banks in managing potential losses from credit activities, thus assuring the security of banking operations and protecting depositors. However, the issue suggests policy implications for enhancing Vietnamese commercial banks' future capital adequacy ratio coefficient.

Abstract

In the context of accelerated digitalization and growing competitive pressures, commercial banks in emerging economies urgently need to enhance internal capabilities to drive innovation and performance. This study investigates how key organizational factors, including employee engagement, leadership style, corporate culture, financial capacity, and management capacity, influence creative innovation and digital transformation and how these, in turn, impact business efficiency in Vietnamese commercial banks. Grounded in the Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capabilities Theory, the research develops and empirically tests a comprehensive structural model using data collected from 942 banking professionals across 30 commercial banks in Vietnam. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining expert interviews with a large-scale survey. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and bootstrapped mediation analysis were used to test 17 hypotheses. The results reveal that all five internal factors positively influence Creative Innovation (CI) and Digital Transformation (DT). Notably, employee engagement and management capacity emerged as the strongest drivers. Creative innovation exerts the most significant direct effect on business efficiency, while digital transformation plays a complementary but weaker mediating role. The findings validate a multi-layered framework linking organizational dynamics to performance, offering novel insights into how banks can align internal resources with strategic goals. This study contributes to the literature by positioning creative innovation and digital transformation as mediators between organizational capabilities and business outcomes. It also provides actionable recommendations for bank executives seeking to enhance operational efficiency through people-centered, innovation-led strategies tailored to the context of emerging markets. Finally, policymakers and bank leaders should implement digital Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), foster employee-led innovation, invest in managerial training, and align human resource incentives with transformation goals to enhance efficiency and resilience in Vietnam's banking sector.
