Economists and analysts said they believe Chinese authorities are keen to support the sluggish economy by allowing a widening policy divergence with other major economies that are raising interest rates aggressively.

The SBV withdrew more than VND1 trillion through the bill channel in the first week of August. — Photo SBV The open market operations (OMO) have been more stable this month after the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) reduced its intervention in the market. According to Saigon Securities Incorporation (SSI)’s research division, the OMO had seen strong fluctuations last month when the SBV consecutively injected a large amount of Vietnamese dong totalling VND46 trillion through bill issues.
