The Circular stipulates the principles of financial management for this fund. Specifically: the Credit Guarantee Fund is financially autonomous and responsible for its own operations. At the same time, it must preserve and develop capital, offset costs and risks in operations while operating on the principle of publicity, transparency, savings and efficiency.
Credit guarantee funds have to comply with regulations on ensuring the capital and property safety of the fund. In particular, the fund must buy property insurance, risk insurance for credit guarantee activities and other insurance in accordance with the law and set up risk provisions. Besides, it is not allowed to use operating capital for monetary trading, securities investment, capital contribution, purchase of shares of enterprises, real estate business or other disallowed business activities and investment.
The Ministry of Finance also stipulates the handling of loss of property of credit guarantee funds. When suffering loss of property, the Credit Guarantee Fund must set up a council to determine the level of loss, cause, responsibility and handling.
Specifically, they must clearly identify objective causes, force majeure (natural disasters, epidemics, fires, unexpected accidents, political risks) and subjective causes. If it was caused by subjective reasons, individuals and organisations causing losses must compensate for damage in accordance with law provisions. Credit guarantee funds shall specify the compensation and decision on compensation levels in accordance with law and take responsibility for their decisions. If the property has purchased insurance, it will be handled in accordance with the insurance law. The loss value after compensating by compensation of individuals, organisations and insurance organisations and the use of reserves which is provided in the expenses, if it is not enough, will be accounted into the expenses in the period of the credit guarantee fund.
The Circular will take effect from June 1, 2019 and applies from the fiscal year 2019.
