Is the increase in deposit interest rates slowing down?
According to the analysis team of MB Securities Joint Stock Company (MBS), the mobilization interest rate in August was still on the rise, but has slowed down somewhat when a few banks turned around and adjusted the mobilization interest rate down by 0.1 - 0.3 percentage points. This happened in the context of inflationary pressure and systemic liquidity pressure having eased after the intervention efforts of the State Bank.
However, the analysis team said that the increase in bad debt (the system's on-balance sheet bad debt by the end of June this year increased by 5.77% compared to the end of 2023) has prompted banks to continue to adjust deposit interest rates to attract new capital, thereby helping to ensure liquidity.
Although interest rates at banks have been adjusted upward many times, the average 12-month interest rate of commercial banks has only increased slightly by 6 basis points compared to the beginning of the year to 4.9%, while the interest rate of state-owned joint stock commercial banks remains unchanged at 4.7%, 26 basis points lower than the beginning of the year.
In September, 12 banks adjusted their deposit interest rates up. This is the least number of banks increasing interest rates in the past 5 months.
