Agreeing to lower interest rates, Vietcombank sharply reduces long-term terms to 6%
In the context of promoting economic growth, the State Bank of Vietnam continues to manage flexible monetary policy to stabilize the macroeconomy, control inflation and support production and business. Commercial banks are oriented to reduce deposit interest rates to create conditions for reducing lending interest rates.

Vietnam GDP growth forecast for the whole year 2026
According to the Asian Development Bank (ADB) report, Vietnam's short-term economic outlook remains positive thanks to stable exports, investment and supportive policies. However, external factors such as changes in US trade policy, the Middle East conflict and global instability may put pressure on growth, especially through exports and investment capital flows.
ADB forecasts Vietnam's economy to grow 7.2% in 2026 and 7% in 2027, with momentum from public investment, loose monetary policy, along with FDI and exports. Inflation is expected to be at 4.0% in 2026 and decrease to 3.8% in 2027. However, risks still exist due to fluctuations in commodity prices, supply chain disruptions and slower growth in major partners.
ADB recommends that Vietnam strengthen energy diversification, accelerate the shift to clean energy and strengthen the corporate bond market to mobilize long-term capital. Improving transparency, perfecting legal frameworks and expanding investors will help improve market confidence and support sustainable growth. See more...
