What Happened
According to HNX data, Ngân hàng TMCP Đại Chúng Việt Nam (PVcomBank) issued a 10-year bond on 17/9/2026 with a first-year coupon of 10.5% per annum, the highest bank bond yield recorded in several years. The lot, coded PCBL12604, carries a value of VND 200 billion and matures in September 2036. The issuance was not an isolated case: during Q3/2026, PVcomBank issued seven bond lots worth a combined VND 4,000 billion, all with coupons of at least 9.6% per annum.
The article, citing HNX data, notes that Sacombank issued six-year fixed-rate bonds at up to 10% per annum in August, while TPBank and SHB issued at 9.7% and Nam A Bank at 9.6%. HDBank issued at 8.7-9.2%, MB at 8.1-9%, Techcombank at 8.6-9% and VIB at around 8.9-9%. Among state-owned banks, BIDV issued at 8-8.2% and Vietcombank at around 7.87-8%. The article states that banks are turning to bonds to secure medium- and long-term funding as deposit growth lags credit growth, and that higher funding costs are pressuring lending rates and profitability.
Market Context
On 1/10/2026, PVC closed at 12,300 on HNX, while STB closed at 70,300, SHB at 11,350 and TPB at 14,400. The broader banking sector is contending with rising interbank rates and a shift by the State Bank of Vietnam toward liquidity injection, as reported in the same news cycle. The article notes that more than 12 billion bank shares are expected to list on the Vietnamese stock market, adding to sector supply. The high-yield bond wave reflects intensifying competition for long-term capital across HOSE- and HNX-listed lenders.
Strategic Significance
For long-term investors, the 10.5% coupon marks a repricing of bank funding costs in Vietnam. Banks with weaker deposit franchises, such as PVcomBank, are paying up for long-dated capital, which compresses net interest margins if lending rates cannot be repriced in tandem. Larger state-owned banks like BIDV and Vietcombank are funding at 8% or below, preserving a cost advantage. The widening spread between high- and low-cost issuers is a competitive dynamic that could accelerate consolidation of deposit market share toward the largest banks. For PVC, the read-through is indirect: higher bank funding costs can raise borrowing expenses for corporates, though PVC’s oil and gas services exposure ties its earnings more closely to energy capex than to bank credit conditions.
What to Watch
- Q3/2026 earnings releases from STB, TPB, SHB, HDB, MBB, TCB, VIB, BID and VCB, with net interest margin commentary.
- Further HNX bond issuance disclosures from PVcomBank and peers in Q4/2026.
- State Bank of Vietnam policy signals on liquidity and interest rates, following the recent interbank rate spike.
- Deposit rate movements at major banks, as a leading indicator of funding cost pressure.
- Foreign-ownership and listing filings tied to the expected 12 billion bank shares entering the market.
