Hanoi (VNA) – Amid the fluctuation of the globalfinancial market, the exchange rate in Vietnam has remained stable in the firstfour months of this year, and the Vietnam dong has been considered one of the most stablecurrencies in Asia, according to experts.

Market analysis reports released by Mirae Asset Securities Vietnamshowed that in April, the USD/VND exchange rate dropped 0.2% and the average exchange rate hovered around 23,500 VND/USD during the month. The rate has remained stable throughout the January-April period.

Dao Xuan Tuan, head of the Foreign Exchange ManagementDepartment under the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) said that since the end of2022, the foreign exchange market has developed positively and gradually become stable. TheUSD/VND exchange rate tends to decrease and stabilise again, he said, adding thatthe recovery of the Vietnamese currency against the US dollar since December 2022 was similar to that of manyother currencies in the region such as the Japanese yen, Chinese yuan, the won of the Republic Korea and the Thai baht.

In the first four months of this year, the SBV bought nearly4.9 billion USD from credit institutions, up about 1 billion USD from theamount recorded at the end of the first quarter of 2023.
