Proposals surrounding the amendment of Decree 24/2012 on the management of gold business activities have been the focus of the market in recent days. According to experts, the issuance of this Decree in 2012 helped stabilize the gold market, which had many shortcomings at that time. However, now, after more than 10 years, the increasingly tight management regulations in Decree 24 are no longer appropriate.
At the “Solutions for the development of a safe and sustainable gold market” seminar organized by the Government e-Portal, Professor Dr. Hoang Van Cuong, a National Assembly delegate, a member of the Finance and Budget Committee of the National Assembly, stated that regulations such as state monopolies on the production of gold bars, choosing the SJC brand as the national gold brand, and banning gold imports… have greatly limited the domestic gold supply.
Mr. Cuong believes that it is necessary to consider whether it is necessary to monopolize gold bars or not. He suggests that many businesses can participate in the process of producing gold bars to meet people’s needs. In addition, he also believes that there must be more diverse trading methods. The trend of world trading is to open up business methods on the trading floor through business contracts, through gold certificates. So, if we open up more forms of gold trading through accounts, we will not be too dependent on whether more or less gold is imported. Only when gold is available can people use tools like derivatives to balance supply and demand.
