Deposit rates may rise by year-end

Securities companies expect increases in deposit interest rates to slow in the third quarter of 2022 because of low demand for capital mobilization. The pressure to raise deposit rates will increase by the end of the year, however, after the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) opens up credit space for commercial banks and especially when the ratio of short-term capital for medium and long-term loans falls from 37 to 34 per cent, under a Decision from the SBV to take effect on October 1.
