Jan 15 (Reuters) - The following table updates the assets and registered capital of Vietnamese banks based on their statements.
The central bank said it aimed to limit credit growth to 30 percent this year to control inflation after a jump of 37.8 percent last year.
Deposit and lending rates would rise as banks tried to cope with investment demand in an economy the government expects to grow 9 percent this year, bankers said. It aims to keep annual inflation below 9 percent.
The central bank has given initial approval for nine banks to start operations. They are the Oil and Gas Bank, Lien Viet Bank, Bao Viet Bank, FPT Bank, Energy Bank, Asia Foreign Trade Bank, Vietnam Star Bank, Dong Duong Thuong Tin Bank and Bao Tin Bank.
Lien Viet Bank, or the United Vietnamese Bank, which has a registered capital of 3.3 trillion dong and has Agribank, Vietnam's largest bank, as one of its co-founders, had said it would start operations in late April.
The table lists banks based on their latest published assets.

Domestic banks must have a registered capital of 1 trillion dong to be qualified to sell shares to foreign banks.
Vietnam caps foreign ownership of a domestic bank at 30 percent with a 15-percent limit for a strategic investor. A foreign bank can own 10 percent and a non-bank investor that is not a strategic investor can own 5 percent.
In exceptional cases, the government could allow a foreign strategic investor to own 20 percent of a Vietnamese bank.
A total of 35 foreign banks with a combined 14 percent market share of loans, six venture banks, four financial leasing ventures, two wholly foreign owned financial leasing firms and 50 representative offices of foreign banks also operate in Vietnam.
Ten percent of Vietnam's 85 million people have bank accounts in a country with about 4,000 bank branches, half of them belonging to Agribank, Vietnam's largest enterprise. ($1=16,103 dong) (Reporting by Ho Binh Minh; Editing by Michael Battye)
