Bad debt in the Hanoi-based lender was estimated at 2.3 percent of loans at the end of 2014, down from more than 3 percent in June 2014, the Vietnam Economic Times newspaper said in an online report, citing the bank's statements. Vietcombank's net profit and credit growth last year were likely to beat targets, the report said. Market talks on Vietcombank's buying out an unlisted smaller lender have also caught investors' eyes, having been boosting VCB volume in the past few weeks. Most other big-caps advanced, led by the all-gain banking sector, while energy shares extended losses amid falling global oil prices on oversupply. The VN Index ended at 549.66 points, the highest since Dec. 12, 2014. Here is a snapshot of the VN Index at the close VN Index 549.66 PREV. CLOSE 544.45 % CHANGE 0.96% HIGH 550.11 LOW 538.82 Asean SE Asia Stocks - Most weak; Thai index trims loss after PTT rebounds Thailand's main index posted a modest loss on Tuesday, helped by late bargain-hunting in PTT The Thai SET index finished down 0.4 percent at 1,477.58, coming off a three-week low hit in the early hours of trading. PTT jumped 2.5 percent, closing at the day's high of 323 baht. It earlier fell to a near three-week low as softening global oil prices dented the earnings outlook of the country's biggest energy firm. Brokers said the rebound also came after an energy ministry official told reporters that an energy policy board meeting on Wednesday would review the structure of ex-factory LPG prices to better reflect higher costs and would benefit PTT. Selling in energy shares sent most markets lower, with stocks in Singapore and Malaysia both hitting their lowest close since Dec. 19, while Indonesia finished at a near two-week closing low. The Malaysian bourse reported net foreign outflows worth 225 million ringgit ($63.3 million), while the Thai stock exchange posted a net 3.97 billion baht ($120.6 million) in foreign outflows.
