ABSTRACT SUMMARY

The thesis "Bank-specific and macroeconomic factors affect the liquidity risks of

commercial banks in Vietnam" conducts a study on the group of micro factors and the

group of macro factors affecting the liquidity risk of Vietnamese commercial banks in

the period. period 2010 – 2020, including Dependence on external financing source

ratio (EFD); Loan to total assets ratio (TLA); Earning quality (NIITA); Loan to total

deposit ratio (LDR); Size of the bank (SIZE); Return on equity (ROE); Money supply

growth (M2); Economic growth rate (GDP) and Inflation rate (INF).

The research topic applies Pooled-OLS, FEM, and REM models, but the obtained

results show that the research model encounters autocorrelation and variable variance,

so the author continues to apply the model. FGLS model to overcome the research

model. Then, the author applies the GMM model to test the endogenous phenomenon

occurring in the research model and receives high accuracy research results, so the

author receives the analysis results from the GMM model as the final result.

The research results show that the research factors affect bank liquidity risk, in

which the variables NIITA, SIZE, and M2 have a negative impact on bank liquidity

risk, on the contrary, the variables EFD, TLA, LDR, ROE, GDP, and INF have the

same effect on liquidity risk, only variable M2 is not statistically significant.

After receiving the research results from the GMM model, the author discusses

the research results affecting the liquidity risk of Vietnamese commercial banks in the

period 2010 - 2020 and makes recommendations for the bank. Commercial banks and

risk managers can limit the weak liquidity position of Vietnamese banks.
