source but also encounters many risks, threats to the safety and prestige of the bank.
At any commercial bank, the effectiveness of credit activities is always given top
priority. In order to improve the effectiveness of these activities, credit risk is a
problem that is always taken care by managers of Vietnamese commercial banks.
