VIETNAM BANKS RAISE LENDING INTEREST RATES TO
NEARLY 20%
“Commercial banks in Vietnam have raised interest rates for
medium and long-term loans in dong to almost 20% per
annum, the one-year record high, as a result of the dong
fund shortage.”
• How are you influenced by this increase in interest
rates as you are a manager of a company/ a flat
owner – who borrow money from the bank?

intermediaries

financial transactions

create and sell assets with less risk and purchase
other assets with more risk
- Diversification: investing in a collection
(portfolio) of assets.

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
• Why is a share of IBM common stock an asset for
its owner and a liability for IBM?
• Some economists suspect that one of the reasons
that economies in developing countries grow so
slowly is that they do not have well-developed
financial markets. Does this argument make
sense?
• The U.S. economy borrowed heavily from the
British in the 19th century to build a road system.
What was the principal debt instrument used?
Why did this make both countries better off?
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
• “Because corporations do not actually raise any
funds in secondary markets, they are less
important to the economy than primary markets.”
Comment.
• If you suspect that a company will go bankrupt
next year, which would you rather hold, bonds or
equities issued by the company? Why?
• Discuss some of the manifestations of the
globalization of the world capital markets?
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
• How can adverse selection problem explain why
you are likely to make a loan to a family member
than to a stranger?
• Why might you be willing to make a loan to your
neighbor by putting funds in a savings account
earning a 5% interest rate at the bank and having
the bank lend her the funds at a 10% interest rate
rather than lend her the funds yourself?
• How does risk sharing benefit both financial
intermediaries and private investors?
QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION
• Why do loan sharks worry less about moral hazard
in connection with their borrowers than some
other lenders do?
• If there were no asymmetry in the information that
a borrower and a lender had, could there still be a
moral hazard problem?
• If you are an employer, what kinds of moral
hazard problems might you worry about with your
employees?
