VND 516,8 billion
Comparing A (VND 516,8 billion) with the capital
contributed to Commercial bank Y as declared by Company X (VND 100 billion), it
can be seen that Company X has sufficient financial capacity to make capital
contribution to the establishment of Commercial bank Y (VND 516,8 billion >
VND 100 billion).
