Vietnamese companies have been given permission to import a total of five metric tons of gold, the nation’s central bank said after local prices surged to a record.
The move will help stabilize the market, the State Bank of Vietnam said in a statement on its website Tuesday. The central bank also said it plans to give businesses further licenses to import an additional five tons of gold to meet domestic demand.
The move will help narrow the gap between local and international gold prices, said Ho Chi Minh City-based Phan Dung Khanh, research manager at Kim Eng Vietnam Securities Co. It will also help stabilize the dollar-dong exchange rate.
Gold futures exceeded US$1,770 an ounce for the first time as a worldwide rout in equities and commodities deepened on concern the global economic slowdown will worsen after Standard & Poor’s cut the US credit rating.
In Vietnam, gold rose to VND45.75 million ($2,200) per tael in Hanoi Tuesday morning, an all-time high, according to information from Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications. One tael is about 1.2 ounces.
