The NFSC reported that as of now, liquidity troubles have declined. The ratio of loan to deposit (LDR) of the entire banking system was 87 percent as of May, slightly lower than earlier. Inter-bank interest rates have also fallen to 4-4.2 percent per year from the previous 5 percent. The State Bank of Vietnam withdrew 28 trillion VND (1.22 billion USD) in May.
According to the NFSC, the positive liquidity status is because of a rapid rise in State Treasury deposits as budget disbursement remains slow. As of late April, State Treasury deposits reached 122 trillion VND, up 28.4 percent against the beginning of the year.-VNA
