Many businesses expect the State Bank of Vietnam to lower required reserve ratios, both to inject money into the economy and allow banks to have more capital and less capital costs so they can cut lending rates.
Since Covid-19 first broke out, central banks around the world have loosened monetary policies to support economic recovery. Changes are now being made, however, to deal with rising prices and inflation. In Vietnam, meanwhile, the CPI is still low and it will be difficult to reach GDP growth targets, so it is likely that the State Bank of Vietnam will maintain its loosened monetary policy as it is effective in supporting economic recovery and has not caused any significant concerns about inflation.
