Organization Chart 33 Independent Auditors’ Report Message from the Chairman of the Board of Directors Annual Report 2008 VietinBank Ladies and gentlemen, The Vietnamese economy first faced challenges in 2008 as the result of the increased trade deficit of USD 17 billion and an inflation rate of 22.9% Later in the year the global economic turmoil further strained the economy as we saw dramatic swings in commodity prices such as steel, oil, gold and foreign exchange rates The impact was broad as both trading volumes and liquidity declined sharply in the capital and property markets Hit especially hard were the small and medium enterprises across the economic horizon In response to these many shocks, the Government took decisive action on several fronts Eight solution packages were introduced that resulted in lower inflation while allowing the economy to grow at 6.23% Industrial production increased 14.6% while export turnover reached VND 62.9 billion In addition, for the first time total registered Foreign Direct Investment rose to USD 64 billion Within the context of these adverse economic times, Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (VietinBank)

An Overview of Vietnam Economy in 2008 In 2008 the economy of Vietnam encountered complicated and unpredicted movements of the world economy and domestic difficulties In the first half of 2008, Vietnam suffered the impact of overheating economy, high inflation, trade deficit, real estate bubble and declined investment quality In an effort to stabilize the macro-economy, the Government adjusted from high growth target to inflation control and maintaining of appropriate growth In the late of 2008, the risks of sub-prime mortgage in the US inflamed the global financial crisis which brought not only developed countries but also emerging economies in the financial triangle Asia-Europe-US to recession Although Vietnam was not severely impacted, the country’s economy was facing numerous difficulties and challenges as a consequence of such crisis In 2008, Vietnam’s economic growth tended to slow down and remained at only 6.2 percent after high growth of over percent in consecutive years Notwithstanding such difficult situation, Vietnam export turnover in 2008 attained nearly USD 63 billion, which was an encouraging result Export turnover of all commodities experienced increase against the previous year with crude oil reaching USD 10.4 billion (increasing by 23.1%), textiles: USD 9.2 billion (increasing by 17.5%), coal: USD 1.5 billion (increasing by 44.4%), rice: USD 2.8 billion (increasing by 94.6%) In 2008, the banking system of Vietnam also saw unprecedented movements The tightened and flexible monetary policy implemented in early 2008 was gradually shifted to prudently loosen in the second half of the year In line with this process was the State Bank of Vietnam’s unprecedented adjustment of management instruments, which focused mainly on key interest rates, reserve requirement and exchange rate control GDP growth rate was 6.2 % in 2008 The year of 2008 saw times of base interest rate increase and times of base interest rate reduction by the State Bank of Vietnam Re-financing interest rate and rediscount interest rate experienced the same adjustment frequency Reserve requirement rate increased in February and experienced decline for times in the last months of the year (including times of decline in foreign currency reserve Annual Report 2008 VietinBank requirement) Interest rates applicable to reserve requirement saw times of adjustments (including times of increase and times of reduction) Foreign exchange control mechanism experienced exceptional adjustments with exchange rate band being widened for times, average interbank exchange rate being strongly adjusted in June and late December The exchange rate in 2008 was characterized with opposite fluctuations In early 2008 the market saw surplus of foreign currencies with VND/USD exchange rate falling to the “bottom level”, equivalent to VND 15,300, while the scarcity of USD supply occurred both in official and free markets from May Nevertheless, thanks to the State Bank’s intervention and foreign exchange reserve capacity which was officially publicized for the first time, the exchange rate was gradually stabilized in late of the year In summary, Vietnam Economy in 2008 coped with major difficulties such as reduced growth rate, increased inflation and imports surplus, unstable securities and real estate markets, difficult production and business activities In 2009, the economy of Vietnam will certainly face numerous challenges and the danger of reduced growth rate However, given the flexible policies of the Government and the great efforts of the whole society, the country will strongly sustain and create a momentum for sustainable growth in the following years 16 The movements of the major interest rates in 2008 (%) 15 14 14 13

Bank was incorporated and operates in Vietnam, its reporting currency is Vietnam dong (VND), which is also the major currency in which the Bank transacts The Bank’s loans and advances were mainly denominated in VND with the remainder mainly in US dollar (USD) Nonetheless, some of the Bank’s other assets are in currencies other than VND and USD To better manage currency risks, quarterly, Alco Planning and Supporting Department analyses and projects cash-in and cash-out flow and proposes fund planning plan for each type of currency (mainly VND, USD and EUR equivalent) to the Bank’s Board of Management) based on actual cash flows and growth target registered by business units The plan determines limits, fund growth rate and fund utilization for the whole bank as well as each branch It is managed based on daily outstanding balance in accordance with guidance to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the whole system The Bank establishes the policy that centralizes the management of whole bank’s foreign currency position at Head office, and that prescribes daily foreign currency position to each branch and overall position of the whole bank so that the daily foreign currency position of the whole bank is reasonable, safe as well as compliant with the requirements of the State Bank of Vietnam Beside the fund planning and foreign currency position management, the Bank also centralizes the foreign currency trading activities with other credit institutions at Head office, builds up limits for international transactions as well as enters into derivatives such as swaps and forward contracts to minimize foreign currency risks During 2008, significant fluctuation in local currency exchange rate against USD has impacted remarkably on the Bank’s balance between local currency and foreign currencies denominated capital, especially USD denominated capital source In May 2008, Vietinbank experienced the surplus in USD denominated capital while having deficit in VND denominated capital In order to raise sufficient VND funds to meet the economy’s growing credit demand as well as lending demand for purchasing foods for export and import necessities of gasoline, medicines and fertilizers, etc, the Bank asked for approval of SBV to use swap contract, accordingly, the Bank swapped USD 300 million for VND equivalent capital in July and August in 2008 (*) These

assets and liabilities from the balance sheet date to the maturity date according to the underlying contractual agreements or terms of issuance The following assumptions and conditions have been adopted in the preparation of the Bank’s maturity analysis: ► Balance with the State Bank of Vietnam is considered as current, this includes the compulsory reserves, which is dependent upon the composition and maturity of the Bank’s customer deposits ; ► The maturity of investment securities is based on redemption dates established by the issuer of these financial instruments ► The maturities of amounts due from other banks and loans and advances to customers are based on the contractual maturity date The actual maturity sometimes varies from contractual term when the contract is extended In addition, loans and advances to customers are shown as net of provisions for impairment loss ► The maturity of equity investments is considered to be over one year as equity investments have no stated maturity ► Amounts due to other banks and owed to customers are determined based on either the nature of the amount or the maturity of their contractual agreements For example, Vostro accounts and current accounts paid upon customers’ demand are considered to be current The maturity of term deposits is based on their contractual maturity date In practice, such items may be rolled over and maintained for longer periods without withdrawal or repayment Up to 31 December 2008, as the Bank has not set up asset/ liability management committee, liquidity risk is managed by Alco Planning and Supporting department and Investment department Alco planning and supporting department analyses and projects flow of cash-in, cash-out in accordance with fund planning and balancing plan, which is approved quarterly and annually; and provides decisions on available fund management based on monthly, quarterly and annually movement of the Bank’s capital and its expected utilization Based on the projection of available capital movement, Investment Department creates the Bank’s liquidity buffer through purchasing highly liquid valuable papers, which could be converted into cash through secondary market Investment Department might decide to either sell back valuable papers to SBV in open market, or to borrow to replenish working capital’s deficiency to ensure liquidity position of the whole bank The Bank maintains liquidity through calculating and maintaining average actual balance of deposits in VND and foreign currencies at the SBV not less than the required level of compulsory reserve to be maintained; and maintaining its liquidity ratios within the levels regulated by the SBV In addition to complying with liquidity regulations of SBV, Vietinbank also estimates and maintains a reasonable and safe level of liquidity assets in forms of cash, cash equivalents, high liquid deposits, Nostro accounts, monetary market instruments and special reserves at the SBV (contributed to around 25% of total assets) to be able to cope with any possible liquidity problem Besides, Investment Department also establishes credit limit with other banks for mutual

term are classified as within month; ► The interest rate repricing term of investment and trading securities are considered based on the actual maturity of each type since the balance sheet date; ► The interest rate repricing term of placements with and loans to financial institutions; loans to customers; borrowing from Government and State Bank of Vietnam; deposits and borrowings from financial institutions and customer deposits are determined as follow: ► Items with fixed interest rate during the contractual term: The effective interest rate repricing term is determined based on actual remaining term from the balance sheet date ► Items with floating interest rate: The interest rate repricing term is determined based on the closest repricing date since the balance sheet date ► The interest rate repricing term of valuable paper issued are based on the actual maturity date of each type; ► The interest rate repricing term of Debts issued and other borrowed funds of which the financial institution bearing the risk are categorised into to years; ► The interest rate repricing term of other liabilities are categorised into to months In practice, these items may have different repricing terms As interest rate fluctuates dramatically in 2008, almost all of Vietnam commercial banks have more or less suffered from interest rate risk Market interest rate sometimes reached extremely high levels Vietinbank has prudently managed its deposit and lending interest rate policy while still maintained a reasonable level of flexibility to ensure the operational effectiveness and market share growth Investment activities: main factors and information being considered are: ► The balance of the Bank’s working capital in short term and long term; ► The balance of capital flows in the market and market interest rate trend forecast (using Reuter, interview, etc); ► Information from large banks and other parties; ► Policies from the SBV; and ► Other sources of information The Bank forecasts fluctuation of market interest rate and makes appropriate investment decisions If a decreasing trend in interest rate is forecasted, the Bank will invest more in long term instruments to gain profitability On the contrary, if market interest rate is projected to increase, the Bank will focus on short term investments to minimise interest rate risk NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) as at and for the year ended 31 December 2008 38 INTEREST RATE RISKS (continued) Fund mobilization and utilization: interest rate for fund mobilization is determined under market price principles, in which interest rate is subject to demand, fund mobilization scale and market interest rate movements Fund is mobilized mainly in short term with the following structure: ► Within 12 months: 67.4% ► From 12 months to 24 months: 24.4% ► Over 24 months: 4.4% ► Fund mobilized from other financial institutions (mainly within 12 months): 3.8% Lending activities: Vietinbank determines lending interest rate based on the cost of funds, management expense plus targeted profit margin Branches apply the floor lending interest rate regulated by the Head office Since most of the funds mobilised by the Bank is short term (having maturity within 12 months), Vietinbank requires all medium and long term loans to have floating interest ► Medium and long-term loans’ interest rates equal to the 12 month interest rate plus/minus certain margin The Bank adjusts the interest rates every or 12 months basing on 12 month interest rate 97 VNDm - VNDm - - - Other liabilities (*)
