Rủi ro tài chính liên quan tới khí hậu Là một trong những quốc gia chịu ảnh hưởng lớn nhất từ biến đổi khí hậu, Việt Nam phải đối mặt với nhiều rủi ro như lũ lụt và mực nước biển dâng. Đồng thời, với nhu cầu năng lượng tăng cao, Việt Nam cần xác định và ứng phó với các rủi ro trong bối cảnh chuyển đổi sang nền kinh tế carbon thấp. Không chỉ ảnh hưởng tới nền kinh tế và doanh nghiệp, những rủi ro này còn tác động tới các định chế tài chính, do đó nên được xét tới trong các chiến lược và vận hành của các tổ chức này. ❓Vậy những rủi ro liên quan tới khí hậu nào các tổ chức tài chính cần xét tới? Đứng trước những rủi ro đó, các định chế tài chính cần làm gì?  👇 Xem bên dưới để tìm hiểu thêm nhé!  ------------------------------  🌿Sustainable Finance 101🌿| #9. Climate-related Financial Risks  Being among the most vulnerable to climate change, Vietnam faces severe physical risks, especially flooding and rising sea levels. Simultaneously, with increasing energy demand, Vietnam also needs to navigate risks throughout the transition to a low-carbon economy. Such risks could pose significant impacts to financial institutions, and thus should not be overlooked in their operations and strategies. ❓So what are climate-related risks? What should financial institutions do to manage them? ⚡ The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision refers to climate-related financial risks as "the set of potential risks that may result from climate change and that could potentially impact the safety and soundness of individual financial institutions and have broader financial stability implications for the banking system." ⚡ 2 types: 💫 Physical risks lead to costs and losses from (1) increasingly frequent and severe extreme events like floods and droughts (acute risks) and (2) long-term shifts in the climate like rising sea levels (chronic risks). 💫 Transition risks occur along the transition to the low-carbon economy, which can be in form of policy, technology, or market risks. ⚡ Both types can impact the financial sector directly via exposure to firms and households or indirectly by affecting the economy. ⚡ Climate-related risks should be integrated into the overall risk management process. Financial Institutions can identify, assess, and measure risks using stress tests or scenario analysis, and manage and report on this. ⚡ The TCFD recommended disclosing under 4 themes: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics & Targets. As the TCFD disbanded in 2023, the IFRS Foundation took over the monitoring, and TCFD core recommendations culminated in IFRS S1 and S2. ⚡ Although Vietnam does not specify regulations on climate-related disclosure for Financial Institutions, Vietnam has some ESG disclosure requirements and guidelines mentioned in Circular No. 96/2020/TT-BTC of the MoF, Sustainability Reporting Handbook by IFC as commissioned by the SSC, and Dispatch No. 9050/NHNN-TD of the SBV. 👉 Follow for more!

    To reach net zero emissions, we need to both finance climate solutions like low-carbon electricity, buildings, and transport, and also to finance the transformation of polluting parts of the economy. Transition finance supports solutions for reducing emissions from high-emitting sectors of the economy.

    The main sources of Viet Nam’s tax revenue include, among others, Corporate Income Tax (CIT) and Personal Income Tax (PIT). However, both taxes have not yet reached their full potential as key contributors to the country’s overall tax revenue due to policy constraints. To acquire international good practices in CIT and PIT policy design and implementation, a delegation from Viet Nam’s Ministry of Finance (MOF), Ministry of Justice, Office of Government, and Office of National Assembly visited Germany for peer-learning in June. It included exchange of knowledge and practices with government officials, legislative bodies, business associations, and academia, on CIT and PIT related topics such as tax bases, tax incentives, tax rates, anti-avoidance rules and support for small and medium-sized enterprises. The outcomes of this peer-learning will support the MOF’s policymakers in designing a better tax policy and revising Viet Nam’s existing CIT and PIT laws. Drafts of the revised laws are expected to be submitted to the National Assembly for the first reading in October 2024 (CIT) and in May2025 (PIT). This activity is part of the project “Strengthening Public Financial Management in Viet Nam”, co-funded by the European Union and the German Government, implemented under the GIZ Macroeconomic Reforms/Green Growth Programme. #SED #PFM #EU

  • 📢 The EU has officially published the CRR3 and CRD6 proposals in the Official Journal as of June 19, 2024. These significant regulatory updates will take effect shortly, marking a new era in banking regulation under the final #BaselIII framework. 🔍 Key Highlights: CRR3 enhances Pillar 1 capital requirements, revises credit risk calculations, CVA risk approaches, and operational risk standards. It also introduces an output floor to mitigate variations in risk-weighted assets. CRD6 focuses on amplifying supervisory tools, setting elevated standards for third-country banks, and integrating ESG risks into bank governance. 📅 Implementation Dates: Most CRR3 rules are set to apply from January 1, 2025, with market risk rules expected to follow a year later. CRD6 requires transposition into national law by EU member states by January 11, 2026. 🚀 This development will require banks across the EU to adapt their risk management and reporting systems to comply with the new standards. Let's gear up for these transformative changes and ensure our strategies are aligned with these upcoming requirements! #FinanceRegulation #CRR3 #CRD6 #ESG #Banking #RiskManagement #Compliance #BaselIII #EURegulations https://lnkd.in/gRn2xBJw https://lnkd.in/g_nsJ7zU

  • 🌍📊 **Dự án Viridis: Tiên phong đánh giá rủi ro khí hậu** 🌱💡   Các ngân hàng trung ương và cơ quan tài chính trên toàn thế giới đang nhận thức được rủi ro tài chính do những tác động vật lý của biến đổi khí hậu và quá trình chuyển đổi sang nền kinh tế carbon thấp. Trong bối cảnh đó, Trung tâm Đổi mới Ngân hàng Thanh toán Quốc tế và Cơ quan Quản lý Tiền tệ Singapore đã khởi xướng Dự án Viridis. Sáng kiến này nhằm phát triển một nền tảng rủi ro khí hậu để giúp xác định và đánh giá các rủi ro tài chính quan trọng liên quan đến khí hậu.   🌟 Những điểm chính trong Dự án Viridis: 1. Các quan điểm về lượng khí thải được tài trợ trên toàn hệ thống ngân hàng và tài chính. 2. Tổng hợp các lượng khí thải được báo cáo và mô hình hóa từ các thực thể tài chính then chốt. 3. Phân tích phân bố địa lý của tài sản để đánh giá rủi ro chuyển đổi, liên kết với thay đổi chính sách giá carbon và với các mối nguy hại vật lý.   Khi chúng ta thu thập thêm dữ liệu và tinh chỉnh phương pháp luận, Dự án Viridis sẽ cải tiến để cung cấp cái nhìn sâu sắc hơn, hỗ trợ các giám sát viên tài chính trong việc khắc phục khoảng trống dữ liệu và tăng cường các quy định giám sát.   Hãy cùng đồng hành khi chúng ta tiến tới một bức tranh tài chính bền vững hơn! 🌐🌿   👉 Đọc thêm về dự án Viridis tại đây: https://lnkd.in/ghuUtYvq —   🌍📊 **Project Viridis: Pioneering Climate Risk Assessment** 🌱💡   Central banks and financial authorities worldwide are recognizing the financial risks posed by both the physical effects of climate change and the transition to a low-carbon economy. In light of this, the Bank for International Settlements – BIS Innovation Hub and the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) have launched Project Viridis. This initiative aims to develop a climate risk platform to help identify and assess significant climate-related financial risks.   🌟 Key Features of Project Viridis: 1. Views on financed emissions across the banking and financial system. 2. Consolidation of reported and modelled emissions from key financial entities. 3. Analysis of geographical asset distribution to evaluate transition risks linked to carbon pricing changes and physical hazards.   As we gather more data and refine methodologies, Project Viridis will evolve to provide richer insights, assisting financial supervisors in bridging data gaps and enhancing regulatory oversight.   Stay tuned as we advance towards a more sustainable financial landscape! 🌐🌿 👉 Read more about Project Viridis here: https://lnkd.in/ghuUtYvq
