The transaction interest rates between banks are higher than savings in VND. Banks currently mobilize non-term savings with interest rates from 0.1 - 0.2%/year, 1 month from 1.6 - 3.1%/year, 3 months from 1.9 - 3.5%/year, 6 months from 3 - 4.5%/year, 12 months from 3.7 - 5.3%/year. Some banks have recently increased savings interest rates from 0.1 - 0.5%/year.
According to forecasts from UOB Vietnam, the VND, and other currencies, are likely to appreciate again against the USD in the second half of 2024 when USD interest rates may be cut while VND interest rates are unlikely to fall further and will increase again. UOB expects a stronger domestic economic recovery, especially from the manufacturing and retail consumption sectors, which will support VND interest rates to approach a more reasonable level compared to overall growth and inflation in a developing market like Vietnam.
