Regarding the maximum interest rate for deposits in Vietnam dong (VND) by organisations and inpiduals at credit institutions and foreign bank branches, the SBV stipulates that the maximum interest rate applicable to demand deposits and those of less than one month is 0.2% per annum.
The maximum interest rate applicable to deposits with terms from one month to less than six months will fall to 4% per annum from 4.25%.
The maximum rate for deposits with terms of one month to less than six months at people’s credit funds and microfinance institutions will be cut to 4.5% per annum from 4.75%, while interest rates on deposits with a term of six months or more will be determined by credit institutions on the basis of market capital supply and demand.
