The State Bank says to maintain the foreign exchange rate
Thu Minh 18:08, 2015/03/26
At a meeting on March 25, Deputy Governor of the State Bank Nguyen Thi Hong confirmed that the State Bank will not adjust the Vietnamese dong-US dollar exchange rate despite an increase in the price of USD on the world market.
The Deputy Governor said that based on the domestic and international currency and macro-economic developments, maintaining the current exchange rate will be more profitable than adjusting the rate. 
The decision was made after thorough considerations of import-export and foreign debt, she stated. 
She added that the foreign exchange market in Vietnam remains stable with transactions worth around 1.1-1.2 billion USD per day.

The State Bank pledged to continue regulating monetary policy tools and implementing other necessary measures to stabilise the foreign exchange market.
