On the afternoon of October 14, SJC Company listed the buying price of SJC gold bars at VND83 million/tael and the selling price at VND85 million/tael, an increase of VND500,000 per tael compared to yesterday. This is also the highest price of gold in the past 4 months.
The sharp increase in the price of SJC gold bars has stimulated people's demand for gold. However, according to recent feedback from people, registering to buy SJC gold bars online is very difficult.
According to Ms. Tran Nhi ( Hanoi )'s reflection through the Government Electronic Information Portal, since 4 banks and SJC Company only allowed buying gold bars when registering online, there has been a situation where people have been almost unable to buy gold bars because their registrations have been unsuccessful, even though they have been on time.
Ms. Nhi asked if the authorities have any solutions to make it easier for people to access gold bars. Because it is difficult to access from official sources, people will have to accept buying online through unofficial channels and there are registration services with many risks as well as unnecessary costs.
Ms. Tran Thi Thuy Linh (HCMC) also reported that since June 12, banks only allow people to buy gold under the condition that they have registered to buy SJC gold online to minimize difficulties and long waiting times when buying gold.
The price of SJC gold bars is increasing but it is very difficult for people to register to buy through online channels.
According to Ms. Linh, she registered at many other branches of all 4 banks but could not register.
Ms. Linh requested that the authorities consider and come up with solutions so that people can buy gold at stable prices.
In response to public complaints, the State Bank said that since implementing new plans to stabilize the gold market, the agency has regularly directed credit institutions and SJC companies to strictly implement the plan to sell SJC gold bars.
In particular, strengthen inspection and supervision of the process of selling gold bars at SJC gold bar selling points; comply with relevant legal regulations, avoid violations during the implementation process; ensure the organization of selling SJC gold bars effectively and on target.
"In case customers have any suggestions on how to sell SJC gold bars directly or register online with SJC company, customers are requested to contact this company via electronic information channels or come directly to SJC company's business locations for answers" - State Bank responded.
