Contribution of banks in Real estate bubble in VN


Besides the irrationality of investors, banks take a big account in creating real estate bubble in the recent years. In 2008, loans on real estate was 138,000 billion VND (≈£3,942,000), in 2010 it nearly doubled, 235,000 billion VND (≈£6,714,000).

Why banks easily lend for real estate projects?

Expected profit when lending for real estate is higher than lending to manufacturing firms (from 4-7% according to Saigon Marketing 

Secondly, banks themselves hold a large amount of property as a channel of investment. I suppose that they may aware of real estate bubble‘s appearance, though they pump more and more in order to blow the bubble bigger and then earn profit easily.
