Previously, implementing the direction of the Government and the Prime Minister , on the afternoon of February 25, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) held an online meeting on implementing solutions to stabilize deposit interest rates; reduce operating costs, increase the application of information technology, simplify administrative procedures, and be willing to share part of profits to reduce lending interest rates to support people and businesses in accessing bank credit capital, promoting production and business development.

According to Deputy Governor Pham Thanh Ha, in recent times, the State Bank has directed organizations to synchronously implement solutions to stabilize deposit interest rates, an important factor affecting lending interest rates. However, there are still some commercial banks that have increased deposit interest rates, which may affect the ability to increase lending interest rates. Therefore, it is very important to continue to resolutely implement measures to reduce lending interest rates.

"Commercial banks must seriously implement the direction of the Government and the Prime Minister, continue to stabilize deposit interest rates, and strive for solutions to reduce lending interest rates," the Deputy Governor requested.

The State Bank of Vietnam will strengthen inspection, examination and close supervision of the announcement of deposit interest rates and lending interest rates of commercial banks; strictly handle credit institutions that do not publicly announce interest rate information, compete in unfair interest rates, and do not comply with the law.
