It is a positive result in the context of a complicated Covid-19 outbreak. The capital demand and supply for the economy still increased. The SBV's monetary policy is still operated in the direction of supporting economic recovery in the context of complicated developments of the Covid-19 pandemic and realizing the Government's dual goals of combating the pandemic and ensuring economic development. The SBV has continued to strictly control credit for sectors forecasted to have many potential risks, such as real estate, securities, BOT, and BT investment.
