Hanoi (VNS/VNA) - The State Bank of Vietnam has resumed open marketoperations for the first time since Tet (Lunar New Year) to improve liquidityin the banking system.
A report from Saigon Securities Incorporation (SSI) showed it injected 31.5trillion VND (1.35 billion USD) into the market last week.
SSI analysts attributed the decline in liquidity at some banks to thewithdrawal of funds by the State Treasury to meet increasing public spendingneeds.
They said that banks reserve requirements increased in the last week of themonth as stipulated by the central bank.
Due to the decline in liquidity, interest rates in the inter-bank market hadsoared by 0.58-0.67 percentage points to 4.3 percent per year for overnightloans and 4.33 percent for both one-week and two-week loans.
This widened the Vietnamese dong-US dollar interest rate gap to 1.7-1.8 percentfor loans of one month and below.
But SSI said the developments of the past week would be temporary andinter-bank rates would cool down soon.
Some banks also increased deposit interest rates by 0.2-0.3 percentage pointsto 4.3-5.5 percent for one- to six-month deposits, 5.5-6 percent for six- to12-month deposits, and 6.4-8 percent for 12 and 13 months.-VNS/VNA
