In banking activities many types of risk exist (credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk, etc. In Vietnam, the banking activities are often associated with credit risk. However, liquidity risk, the type of risks that can immediately make a bank collapse is less focused, because if the banking activities took place on a normal schedule, the risk was not disclosed. Only when a certain event happens to have a negative impact on the bank, then the liquidity risk is exposed, in the worst case, banks have no liquidity, leading to bankruptcy, and affecting the entire banking system.
In Vietnam, liquidity risk can be a problem just say "old problem" was just a matter of "new problem". Calling it "an old problem" is because any bank manager knows about this kind of risk, understands the importance of it and they are also managing liquidity risk based on experience and traditional methods. And calling it "a new problem" is because not many banks in Vietnam really understand it and find ways to reach new approaches to liquidity risk management by international standards. Only after the events on the liquidity risk from 2006 through to now did banks begin to explore and consciously implement the management of liquidity risk, according to a scientific and more systematic method.
The starting point of that process must be derived from the banks which are fully equipped with theoretical knowledge about liquidity risk management. LienVietBank was established in April 2008, and in more than 2 years the bank has gained outstanding achievements in business results, but besides that, the issues of risk management are all complex. The organizational structure is not stable, risk management personnel frequently change, the bank only cares about 1 credit risk management and pays no attention to risk management activities, particularly the management liquidity risk. And if there is a crisis similar to the liquidity crisis in 2008, the bank will face the enormous difficulty.
It is the reason why I decided to choose the topic “Liquidity risk management in Lien Viet Commercial Joint Stock Bank” for my thesis. 2 Research Objective The aim of the research is to analyze and assess the current status of liquidity risk management in LienVietBank and to propose appropriate recommendations to enhance the efficiency in liquidity risk management in LienVietBank. The thesis therefore aims to achieve the following objectives: Systemize the basic theoretical problem about liquidity risk and liquidity risk management in commercial banking. Identifying and assess current situations of liquidity risk and liquidity risk management in LienVietBank.
Propose recommendations and solutions to enhance the efficiency in liquidity risk management in LienVietBank. 3 Research Scope For the purpose and requirement of an MBA graduate thesis, the thesis only focuses on liquidity risk and liquidity risk management in Lien Viet Commercial Joint stock bank. 4 Information sources Statistic data gathered at LienVietBank (financial statements, official releases of LienVietBank). Data from other sources such as other banks, books, internet, related journals 2 and periodic, science reviews.

Firstly, definitions related to commercial bank, risk management in commercial bank. Secondly and finally, definitions related to liquidity risk and liquidity risk management in commercial bank, expressing by Basel II and international framework for liquidity risk management.1 Concepts There is still much confusion about what exactly a commercial bank is.
And many definitions have been given by organizations. "Commercial banks" can be defined based on: (1) Its function in the economy; (2) The services it offers to customers or (3) based on legal institutions that exist: “A financial institution that accepts demand deposits and makes loans and 1 provides other services for the public”. “A full-service institution that offers customers deposit, payment and credit 2 services, in addition to other financial services”. “A financial intermediary which collects credit from lenders in the form of 3 deposits and lends in the form of loans”.

Economic development involves investment in various sectors of economy. Commercial banks collect savings from the people and mobilize saving for investment in industrial project or making loans to individuals. The investors borrow from banks to finance the projects.
Special funds are provided to the investors for the 6 1 Source: John B.King, 2010, Ehow contributor journal 7 completion of projects. Commercial banks also represent a vital link in the transmission of government’s economic policies to the rest of the economy, when bank credit is scare and expensive, spending in the economy tends to slow and unemployment usually increase. Or if interest rates are very high, the cost of bank credit will be high and this could be inflationary. Risk management in Commercial Bank 1 1.
