According to Lao Dong, the first month of 2025 recorded 7 banks increasing deposit interest rates, including: Agribank, Bac A Bank, NCB, MBV, Eximbank, KienlongBank, VietBank.
What will interest rates be in 2025?
Vietcombank Securities Company (VCBS) predicts that interest rates for medium and long-term deposits will increase slightly by 0.2 - 0.3 percentage points by the end of 2024, then remain stable in 2025. Lending interest rates are expected to increase by 0.5 - 0.7% as credit demand increases thanks to economic recovery, especially when businesses begin to expand production and business activities after the period affected by the pandemic.
VCBS believes that the State Bank will continue to maintain a flexible monetary policy to support economic growth while controlling inflation well. Factors such as fiscal policy, fluctuating raw material prices, and the speed of global economic recovery will be the main factors affecting interest rates in 2025.
The government also plans to adopt support policies to minimize the negative impacts of rising interest rates, especially on the manufacturing and export sectors.
