Example: The Governor of the State Bank decides that the rate of obligatory reserve is 10% and the mimimum structure of the obligatory reserve is 70% which must be deposited on the account of sight deposits at the State Bank while the maximum rate is 30% in cash and valid cheques at the funds of the bank or credit organization, then the obligatory reserve that must be maintained and the structure of the obligatory reserve and the settlement of excess or shortfall of the obligation reserve shall be as follows: Case 1: If the actual average rate of cash and valid cheques at the fund of the bank or credit organization is bigger than 30% of the obligatory reserve , 30% shall be the rate adopted. Case 2: If the actuall average rate of cash and valid cheques at the fund of the bank or credit organisation is lower than 30% of the obligatory reserve then the actual figure shall be adopted. Example in Case I: Supposing that the bank or credit organization (X) has an average deposit of 3,000 billion Dong which requires an obligatory reserve in a given period (June 1997). The average deposit in the maintenance term (July, 1997) at the State Bank is 220 billlion Dong, the average cash and valid cheques in the maintenance term (July 1997) at the fund of the Bank (X) is 100 billion Dong. The obligatory reserve in the maintenance term (July 1997) and the excess and shortfall of the obligatory reserve (July 1997) of the Bank (X) shall be determined as follows: The obligatory reserve to be maintained in July 1997 is : The average obligatory reserve to be maintained in the term = 3,000 billion Dong x 10% = 300 billion Dong The amount to be deposited at the State Bank is 210 billion Dong , the amount to be deposited at the cash fund and valid cheques is 90 billion Dong. Calculation of excess and shortfall of obligatory reserve in the maintenance term in July 1997 : In reality the unit deposits 220 billion Dong at the State Bank, the remaining fund is 100 billion Dong in cash and valid cheques. Thus, according to regulation Bank(X) has 10 billion Dong of obligatory reserve in excess (220 billion Dong -210 billion Dong). The unit shall be refunded 10 billion Dong by the State Bank as excess of obligatory reserve. Supposing that the Governor of the State Bank decides that the inrerest rate for the excess of obligatory reserve is 0.2% per month, Bank (X) shall receive in the maintenance term of July: 10 billion Dong x 0.2% x 31 days Total of interest= ------------------------------------------- = 20,000,000 Dong 31 days Thus, Bank(X) shall receive 20,000,000 Dong as interest for the excess of the obligatory reserve in the maintenance term of July 1997. Example of case 2: Supposing that the Bank or Credit Organization (X) has 3,000 billion Dong as average deposit which require obligatory reserve in the determining term (June 1997). The average deposit in the maintenance term (July 1997) at the State bank is 220 billion Dong. The real average of the cash and valid cheques in the maintenance term (july 1997) at the fund of Bank (X) is 78 billion Dong. The obligatory reserve in the maintenance term (July 1997) and the excess and shortfall of the obligatory reserve (July 1997) of Bank (X) shall be determined as follows: Obligatory reserve to be maintained in July 1997: Obligatory reserve to be maintained in the term = 3,000 billion Dong x 10 % = 300 billion Dong. The amount to be deposited at the State Bank is 210 billion Dong , the amount to be deposited at the cash and valid cheques fund is 90 billion Dong Calculation of excess and shortfall of obligatory reserve in the maintenance term in July 1997: The real amount remaining at the cash and valid cheque fund is 78 billion Dong that is a shortfall of 12 billion Dong compared to the requirement (90 billion Dong - 78 billion Dong). As prescribed to assure the obligatory reserve in the maintenance term in July 1997, the obligatory reserve deposited at the State Bank must be 222 billion dong (210 billion Dong + 12 billion Dong ), but in reality the unit deposits only 220 billion dong. Thus, in the maintenance term of July 1997 the shortfall in obligatory reserve is 2 billion Dong (222 billion Dong - 220 billion Dong). Handling of shortfall in obligatory reserve of Bank (X): Supposing that the Governor of theState Bank decides that the fine represents 200% of the interest in the re-loan of 0.9% per month, Bank(X) shall have to bear a fine for the shortfall of obligatory reserve in the maintenance term of July 1997 as follows: 2 billionDong x 0.9%x 200% x 31 days Total fine=-------------------------------------------------- = 36,000,000 Dong 31 days Thus, Bank (X) shall have to pay a fine of 36,000,000 Dong for the shortfall of obligatory reserve in the maintenance term of July 1997. 1.Obligatory reserva in maintenance term already notified 1.1 In Vietnam Dong In which : obligatory reserve deposited at State bank (70%) Cash and valid cheques (30 %): 1.2 In foreign currencies In which: obligatory reserve deposited at State banks (70%) Cash and valid cheques (30%) 2.
