Specifically, through the collateralized lending channel, the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) injected 70,379 billion VND with terms ranging from 7 to 105 days at an interest rate of 4% per annum. Notably, since the session on November 11, the SBV has introduced a new move by offering open market operations with terms of up to 105 days.

According to MB Securities (MBS), extending the term will help maintain liquidity support for a longer period, thereby stabilizing interbank liquidity and interest rates in the near future.

With maturing capital in the period reaching 56,921 billion VND, the regulator netted 13,458 billion VND in the past week, a 66% decrease compared to the previous week’s net injection. The outstanding volume on the collateralized channel as of November 17 stands at 303,518 billion VND.

In the international market, the USD Index (DXY) closed at 99.2 points on November 14, down 0.3 points from the previous week.

The USD continued to weaken after U.S. President Donald Trump signed a bill to reopen the federal government, ending the longest shutdown in history. The absence of pay for over 1 million federal employees and the paralysis of many public services created a significant data gap, prompting the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to maintain a cautious stance on monetary policy easing.

Domestically, Vietcombank listed the USD/VND exchange rate at the end of the week of November 14 at 26,128-26,378 VND/USD (buy – sell), increasing by 40 dong and 20 dong, respectively, compared to the previous week.
