Experts predict that the trend of increasing deposit interest rates will continue in the coming time, somewhat increasing pressure on the growth rate of banks.
Specifically, An Binh Commercial Joint Stock Bank (ABBank) adjusted the savings interest rate for 6-month term up 0.8%/year to 5.6%/year, 7-11-month term up 1.4%/year to 5.8%/year and 12-month term up 6%/year after increasing 0.4%/year.
Meanwhile, Military Commercial Joint Stock Bank (MB) increased 6-month term interest rate by 0.2%/year to 3.8%/year, 9-month term to 3.9%/year and 12-month term to 4.7%/year.
Similarly, at Vietnam Prosperity Joint Stock Commercial Bank ( VPBank ), deposit interest rates increased slightly by 0.1%/year for 6 and 9 month terms to 4.3%/year, 12 month term to 4.9%/year, and 24 month term increased by 0.3%/year to 5.3%/year.
In the group of state-owned commercial banks, Vietnam Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade ( VietinBank ) recently slightly increased online deposit interest rates for some terms by 0.2-0.3%/year.
Currently, the online deposit interest rate at this bank is 2%/year for a term of 1-2 months; 2.3%/year for a term of 3-5 months; 3.3%/year for a term of 6-11 months; 5%/year for a term of 24-36 months.
In particular, the savings interest rate for 12-18 month terms is kept unchanged by VietinBank at 4.7%/year.
As for savings interest rates at the counter, both VietinBank and the remaining 3 state-owned commercial banks still maintain the previous interest rate schedule.
Specifically, the Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Foreign Trade of Vietnam (Vietcombank) mobilizes deposits with terms of 6 and 9 months at an interest rate of 2.9%/year, terms of 12 months are 4.6%/year and terms of 24 months or more are 4.7%/year.
Joint Stock Commercial Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) and Vietnam Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Agribank) maintain interest rates for 6- and 9-month terms at 3%/year, and for 12- and 24-month terms or more at 4.7%/year.
At VietinBank, interest rates for 6 and 9 month terms are 3%/year, 12 month term is 4.7%/year and 24 month term is 4.8%/year.
Although the trend of increasing interest rates has been common in recent times, on the contrary, there are still banks that have slightly adjusted their rates down.
Accordingly, Vietnam International Commercial Joint Stock Bank (VIB) has just reduced the interest rate by 0.1%/year for deposits with terms from 6 to 11 months. The interest rate for 6-8 months has decreased to 4.2%/year and for 9-11 months to 4.3%/year.
This is the second consecutive time VIB has reduced its deposit interest rates within just one week. Previously, the bank had reduced interest rates by 0.1-0.2% per year for deposits with terms of 6-36 months on June 26.
According to a report by Vietcombank Securities Joint Stock Company (VCBS), interest rates will no longer have room to decrease further under pressure from exchange rates and inflation.
Inflationary pressure will increase from the third quarter of 2024 due to food prices, electricity prices, housing prices and wage adjustments. Pressure from the USD/VND exchange rate difference makes it difficult for interest rates to decrease further.
