Despite potential of expansion due to high investment demand, little capital has been mobilised from Government bonds due to interest rates below investors’ expectation.
Hanoi (VNA) – Despite potential of expansion due to highinvestment demand, little capital has been mobilised from Government bonds dueto interest rates below investors’ expectation.
According to the Ministry of Finance, as of May 17, 2018, the StateTreasury mobilised 56.02 trillion VND from Government bonds, 20 percent of theyearly target, and equivalent to 54 percent of the amount in the same periodlast year and only 33.6 percent in the same time of 2016.
Meanwhile, the Hanoi Stock Exchange revealed that investors’ engagement inbids for Government bonds has increased sharply compared to 2016 and 2017.
According to Nguyen Thi Kim Oanh, President of the Vietnam Bond Market Association(VBMA), the Government bond market has high potential of development as investors’demand remains high.
Oanh said the problem is the difference between investors’ expectationin interest rate and issuers’ offering rate.
The gap between interest rate in the primary market and secondary markethas made investors hesitate.
At the same time, the State Treasury does not aim to sell Governmentbonds at all costs, but hopes to maintain a low interest rate, therefore, it hasmade little adjustment in the interest rates.
The Ministry of Finance reported that in the first four months of thisyear, total investment from the State budget, including Government bonds, wasestimated at 65 trillion VND, 16.27 percent of the target assigned by theNational Assembly.
Slow disbursement also led to a surplus of about 11.3 trillion VND inState budget.
Liquidity of the banking system has still been high, but not as strongas in early 2018, resulting in a rise in inter-banking interest and a reductionin demand.
Oanh asserted that if the disbursement of investment is not improved inthe coming time, the success of bids in primary markets will not meetexpectations.
The VBMA leader said that currently, the market is experiencing anadjustment period.
