This study aims to assess the effect of abnormal loan growth on bank risk in Vietnam, using balance data, including 390 observations of 30 banks from 2007 to 2019. pooled regression method (pooled OLS), fixed effects model, random effects model, and GMM method (generalized method of moments). Anomalous loan growth initially helped banks reduce risk. However, this relationship is non-linear and heterogeneous. Our findings suggest that the pursuit of excessive lending is much more From the research results, the article makes some suggestions to limit the bank's risk that the pursuit of lending too much is more likely to lead to Banks having to accept greater risk.
