A Vietnamese developer has proposed a 15-year rescue plan for a bank at the center of a major fraud scandal, documents show. The Central Bank of Vietnam pumped nearly $26 billion into the struggling State Commercial Bank of Vietnam (SCB) in recent years.
Sun Group, a local developer, has vowed to invest at least $120 million to recapitalize SCB and help it recover from losses. The bank’s deposits have significantly decreased, leaving it with a huge capital hole.
The rescue plan is aimed at stabilizing the bank and preventing further financial damage. However, the proposal has raised concerns about the long-term viability of the rescue effort and the potential risks involved.
