Banks not to liquidate repo agreements

If banks and stock companies pause liquidating their contracts, the securities demand-supply balance will be recovered

To help the stock market overcome the current hard time, the VNBA asked its members to consider not liquidating their securities mortgage and repurchase agreements, so as to stabilize the stock market in particular and the macro economy in general.

Under the PM’s direction, the State Bank will provide rediscount loans at the interest rate of 9% to the banks which are in temporary scarcity of market liquidity. The State Bank will also purchase more foreign currency to facilitate the capital conversion and reduce the Vietnamese currency tension.

According to Document 1909/VPCP-KTTH, the PM allowed enterprises to repurchase stocks which they had sold out. They were also permitted to freely increase their charter capital.
