SBV ramped up liquidity injection ahead of the new quarter

This week, the SBV stepped up liquidity injections as demand picked up at the start of 2nd quarter after credit room was largely used up in the previous one, alongside elevated interbank rates and continued upward pressure on USDVND. Interbank rates have since eased following strong OMO injections, especially at medium tenors, while trading volumes rose, signaling a rebound in liquidity demand. On the FX front, USDVND extended its uptrend for a sixth consecutive week, though at a slower pace, as the greenback softened slightly but remained elevated amid ongoing Middle East tensions.
