Speaking before the National Assembly on June 1, Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam Nguyen Thi Hong said that the need to reduce interest rates has always been the desire of businesses when borrowing capital. The National Assembly and the Government have also paid close attention to this direction, and the State Bank of Vietnam has also greatly desired and paid attention to it. However, interest rate management needs to be considered in the overall management of macroeconomic policies to ensure macroeconomic and monetary stability, especially ensuring the safety of the system's operations.

On the part of the State Bank, in the first months of the year, when conditions were favorable and credit demand was low, the State Bank also operated to maintain abundant liquidity; adjusted down the operating interest rate; issued a Circular allowing restructuring of debt repayment terms, keeping the debt group unchanged; directed credit institutions to review and reduce administrative procedures as well as to lend based on feasible plans and debt repayment capacity, and not necessarily requiring collateral.
