On September 21, 2026, Vietnam's overnight interbank rate jumped to 7% a year while state-owned banks' 12-month online savings rate stayed flat at 6.8%. A close read of three separate rates the same week separates a one-day cash squeeze from a genuine repricing.
PNJ's Record Foreign Buying Happened in a Single Session

NVB Hits Ceiling as NCB Pushes 3.3bn-Share Issuance

Vietnam fund industry: 6x target, zero 3-year winners

15-Minute Auction Erased 25 Points, Not a Sell-Off
