先週報告した米国系銀行はシティ・バンクのことですが、今週20周年の記念式典の記事が新聞に掲載されていました。1993年にハノイに駐在員事務所を開設して翌1994年にはハノイ支店としてスタートし、現在はハノイとホーチミンの2支店体制で営業しているそうです。ちなみに日本からは撤退するそうですが。そういえば当時米国人のハノイ支店長と会った時に、私が旧長銀・日本リースの代理人として働いていると言ったら、昔シティーの役員をしていた八城氏（当時は新生銀行（旧長銀）の社長）を知っている（或いは部下として働いていた？）と言っていましたね。

他にこんな記事がありました。ANZ、HSBC、新韓、Lao Viet、Credit Agricoleの各銀行のホーチミン支店、Lao Vietについてはハノイ支店も、及びANZ系のリース会社がオペレーションを止めるので閉鎖に向けて手続き中と書いていますね。ANZ系のリース会社を除き、Lao Vietを除き、各行ともホーチミン支店を閉鎖するだけのようなので大して影響はないのかもしれませんが、ホーチミンは銀行の過当競争の地域なんですかね？Loa Vietはラオスの銀行のようですが、ホーチミン支店とハノイ支店を閉めるようで、2大都市の支店を閉めたらあと何が残るのか？新韓銀行は韓国系だと思いますが虎ノ門に東京支店がありますね？大阪や福岡にも支店があるようです。何れにしても閉鎖に向けて手続き中とのことで昔を思い出してしまいました。

7 foreign bank branches to end operations in Vietnam
Seven branches of foreign banks and one foreign-owned financial leasing company are finalizing procedures to terminate their operations in two biggest cities of Vietnam, according to a recently released report of the Economic Committee of the National Assembly.

They are the Ho Chi Minh City branch of Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd (ANZ), the HCMC branch of Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corp (HSBC), the HCMC branch of Standard Chartered Bank, the HCMC branch of Shinhan Bank, the HCMC and Hanoi branches of LaoVietBank, the HCMC branch of Credit Agricole SA and financial leasing company ANZ V-Track, said the Economic Committee’s report, citing data from the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV).
The SBV has revoked the licenses and officially put an end to the operations of the two branches in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City of LaoVietBank, Economic Commission said in the report.
Regarding the activities, the number of credit institutions in operation, and the reorganization, and dissolution of them, the report said the current banking system is designed to supply efficient banking services and products to meet the diverse needs of the economy.
The data in the report said that the current system has 47 commercial banks, including five state-owned commercial banks that have been equitized with the government holding a controlling stake, 33 joint-stock commercial banks, four joint venture banks, five banks with 100-percent foreign capital, two policy banks, and 53 branches of foreign banks.
There are also 28 non-credit institutions, one cooperative bank, 1,144 people's credit funds and two microfinance institutions.

In particular, commercial banks continue to play a dominant role in the whole system, and local commercial banks still have an edge in its widespread network across the country over foreign banks, said the report.
According to SBV data, as shown in the report, in the period of 2011-2013, the number of credit institutions decreased by 4 joint-stock commercial banks and 2 credit organizations, and three non-bank affiliates of foreign banks have been converted from dependant to independent branches.
According to data compiled and published by Reuters last month, the fully state-owned banks in Vietnam included Agribank, Vietnam Development Bank, Vietnam Bank for Social Policies, and Co-operative Bank of Vietnam with total assets worth around VN1,180 trillion (US$55.4 billion)
Meanwhile, Vietnam has 37 partly equitized banks.
Vietnam, with a population of 88.7 million, had 68.5 million bankcards by the end of March 2014, up 3.5 percent from December 2013, based on central bank data, Reuters reported.

10年以上も昔の話なので段々と記憶が薄れていくのですが、当時一番印象に残っているのは2000年12月のクリスマスのことです。ほとんどはキリスト教徒ではないのにクリスマスを盛大に祝うのは日本人と同じですが、私の記憶ではハノイで最初にクリスマスを迎えた1997年12月にはまだそれほどの賑わいを見せていなかったのではと思いますが（あくまでも私個人の記憶ですが）、それからわずか3年後の2000年にはすっかり様変わりしていたことにとにかく驚かされました。

1. キリスト教徒
前にも記載したと思いますが、この年だったか別の年だったか記憶が定かではないのですが、ハノイのホアンキエム湖の西側にある古い大聖堂に大勢のキリスト教徒が集まりお祈りしていたのは本当に驚きました。思えばベトナム戦争当時、南ベトナムのサイゴンからのニュースには仏教やキリスト教に係るものが多くあって、いろいろな対立や紛争が結構あったような記憶があります。実際にベトナムに来てみるとハノイの大聖堂はもちろん、少し離れた郊外にも古い大きな教会が突然現れてその度に驚いたものです。とにかく南部だけではなくベトナム北部にもキリスト教の影響が小さくないという印象を持ちました。

2. サンタクロース
これも前に投稿したので詳しくは記載しませんが、サンタクロースのコスチュームで三菱パジェロに乗ってハノイ中にあるスタッフの家を回ってプレゼントを渡して行ったのも楽しい思い出です。あれからもう15年も経ったのですね！詳しくは2012年12月24日の投稿を参照ください。

2000年12月24日は半そで半ズボンで過ごしたような記憶があります。夜はホアンキエム湖でとにかく大勢の人に圧倒されました。ベトナム人はモーターバイクと思っていたのであれほど大勢の人が歩いているのはおそらく初めてではなかったかと思います。
