Overseas remittances to Ho Chi Minh city in the first seven months of 2017 reached USD2.5 billion, representing an increase of 4.16% over the same period in 2015, said Mr. Nguyen Hoang Minh, Deputy Director of The State Bank of Vietnam.

Ho Chi Minh city: Remittances reach USD2.5 billion in the first 7months

According to Mr. Minh, remittances to Ho Chi Minh city are mainly from the US and Europe. This capital made a significant shift toward the manufacturing and production sectors, instead of real estate, securities and deposits.

He also said that with stable exchange rate, remittances are forecast to reach around USD5.7 – 5.8 billion this year. In 2015, USD5.5 billion was transferred to the city. For Ho Chi Minh city only, remittances have grown at an average annual rate of 10%-12%.

The interest rate of foreign currencies is now lower than domestic currency, so there is a new trend of moving from foreign currencies to Vietnamese dong. This reality also eases the pain for USD/VND interest rate while the USD continues to strengthen./.
