Ms. Nguyen Thi Hong, Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam, tells Vietnam Economic Times / VnEconomy’s Phan Linh about the need for adaptive monetary policies to meet the government’s 2025 targets of 8 per cent GDP growth and inflation of below 4.5 per cent amid global uncertainties and trade tensions.

Visiting the State Bank of Vietnam on February 3, PM Pham Minh Chinh proposed that the sector contribute to maintaining macroeconomic stability, promoting growth, and ensuring key economic balances.

The Government leader chairs a meeting on fiscal and monetary policies on May 16.

Mr. Tran Ngoc Bau, Founder and CEO of WiGroup, told the “WeTalk - Financial Market Prospects and Opportunities” seminar that inflation is not the most serious problem for the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) to address, it is the USD/VND exchange rate. The actions of the SBV in recent times have, in fact, always been aimed at stabilizing the exchange rate. External factors mainly relate to US monetary policy, especially the significant strengthening of the USD.
