The impact of market concentration on the performance of Vietnamese commercial banks
Published: July 27, 2026
Abstract
This study explored the impact of market concentration on the performance of Vietnamese commercial banks. The study used observations from 26 Vietnamese commercial banks during the period 2009-2022 and employed the System GMM regression method. Return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) were used to measure bank performance. The findings indicate that market concentration based on deposit market share, lending market share, and institutional quality has a positive impact on the performance of Vietnamese commercial banks. Meanwhile, market concentration based on total asset market share has a negative impact on bank performance.
