Vietnam refuses to ease monetary policy further

The whopping 500 bps cut in benchmark rates is already enough.

According to BBVA Research, Vietnam will not ease monetary policy further, as said by the country's central bank governor in a response to calls for more rate cuts at a meeting in Hanoi today.

"The State Bank of Vietnam has cut benchmark rates this year by a combined 500 bps over concerns of a slowdown in growth, while inflation has also trended down," BBVA said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
