Interest rates are still rising
The trend of savings interest rates in Vietnam is showing clear fluctuations, with a slight increase recently. This comes from changes in the financial market and monetary policies.
According to Tien Phong Securities Company (TPS), deposit interest rates are likely to increase by the end of this year and remain stable or increase slightly in 2025. Similarly, VNDIRECT Securities Company also forecasts that the average 12-month deposit interest rate will increase by about 0.3 percentage points, reaching 5.2% - 5.3%/year by the end of 2025. This increase is explained by the need for banks to increase capital to meet Basel II standards and support credit in the context of the economy recovering from the pandemic.
However, interest rates can vary between banks. Smaller banks tend to charge higher interest rates to compete and attract customers, while larger banks with a stable customer base tend to maintain lower interest rates.
In this context, individual investors should be cautious when choosing a bank to deposit money and regularly update market developments to make reasonable financial decisions.
