Interest rates on government bonds have been on the rise lately, after a long period of decline throughout 2017 and the first four months of 2018. The National Financial Supervisory Commission has predicted that the G-bond market in 2018 will see modest changes against last year thanks to economic growth of more than 6.7 per cent and inflation of below 4 per cent.
The value of G-bonds issued in 2018 is estimated at some VNĐ180 trillion ($7.92 billion), with the focus being on long-term maturity and keeping interest rates low. – VNS
