“In 2024, the USD exchange rate increased by more than 7% at some points. At the end of the year, the exchange rate fluctuation was around 5.03%, which we consider a harmonious level, ensuring that businesses and investors do not worry and there is no speculation or hoarding of USD,” said the Deputy Governor.

This will help maintain stability in the foreign currency market, ensure smooth foreign currency liquidity, and fully meet the foreign currency demands of the economy.
