Summary

Introduction

The impact of competition on bank stability is one of the debated issues. Wahyoe et al (2011) estimated the impact of market power on banking stability for 12 Asian countries from 2001 to 2007 period. They postulated that higher market would increase financial instability. Widede et al (2015) examined the impact of market power on banking stability for 18 countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and pointed out that there was little correlation between market power and financial instability in the period 2000-2008. In Vietnam, Nguyen et al (2017) mentioned that competition helps Vietnamese commercial banks have more stable operating results in the first stage and would gradually decrease when the financial crisis occurs.
