Central bank asks for foreign exchange reports

The State Bank is requesting the information so that the institution can begin drafting a monetary policy for the latter months of the year. Lenders were also told to draw up plans concerning how they will use their foreign currency reserves to pay debt during this years final quarter and next years first quarter.

The State Bank of Viet Nam instructed credit institutions to provide reports concerning outstanding loans and investments that involve US dollars.

The report must be completed and delivered to the State Bank this Friday.

By the end of September, total outstanding loans in foreign currencies at banks in HCM City were VND186.1 trillion (US$9.5 billion), up 36 per cent against the same period last year.

The US dollar credit growth during September increased by 6.1 per cent against August, while the month-on-month dollar credit growth in August was up just 1 per cent against July.

In an unusual move, loans in foreign currencies exceeded mobilised capital. Financial experts explained that banks had a surplus of US dollars that they received from mother companies or foreign credit institutions.

This is the second time the central bank has asked for such reports. In May, commercial banks and financial companies were ordered to provide a detailed report about their foreign exchange operations to help reduce the countrys trade deficit and improve Viet Nams payment balance.
