There was little consumer lending and few financial instruments were available. The secondary credit markets and reinsurance markets that server to offset uncertainty and risks in advanced economies were almost entirely absent. Therefore, the demand to reform the financial sector is extreme necessary, especially when this country is trying to be a member of WTO by the end of 2006. The government has implemented many programs, policies？to improve this financial sector from 1986 up to now. However, Vietnamese financial reform process is still a controversial issue that wastes a lot of ink and paper of many economists, policy makers？What steps should be taken to restructure the banking system?
