Nguyen Thi Hong, Deputy Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam, mentioned the possibilities of cutting loan interest rates:“The Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam has issued Directive No4 on balancing capital recourses, the proper use of capital, reducing costs and loan interest rates. Some commercial banks have already implemented this plan. From now to the end of the year, demands for credit tend to rise. Some major commercial banks have also lowered deposit interest rates, paving the way for further cuts in loan interest rates.”
