  • Vietnam may further devalue dong in 2014

      27/06/2014
    The dong may be depreciated by additional 1 percent later
    this year, if policy makers feel it is necessary, HSBC said in a
    statement issued on Thursday, betting on a relatively stable dong for
    the coming months.

    The outlook for the dong
    should be relatively stable in the coming time, given the better
    balance of flows and build-up of foreign exchange reserves, HSBC said.
    It warned, however, that lower real interest rates could pose a risk if
    demand and inflation start to pick up.
