Topic: capital demand

At a conference on credit management held by the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV), credit institutions evaluated credit control as a useful tool that is suitable for conditions in Vietnam. Current capital demand is significant, so it is not possible to have all of it coming from the banking system and it is necessary to develop other channels such as securities, bonds, public investment, and FDI.

According to Viet Dragon Securities (VDSC), with lending rates on the rise, tightening credit space may push rates even higher in the second half of the year. The State Bank of Vietnam could adjust its credit growth target to make it more in line with actual needs, and credit growth for the year as a whole could reach 16 per cent.
