TL;DR

Key insights

Global Monetary Policy and Vietnam's Exchange Rate

• Global central banks are expected to continue lowering interest rates, but the pace will depend on economic data.
• Recent US economic data suggests the Federal Reserve has no immediate reason to rush interest rate cuts.
• Global 'easy money' conditions, including potential US quantitative easing, are expected to ease pressure on Vietnam's exchange rate.
• Vietnam's exchange rate is anticipated to stabilize in the short term, with a potential 3% depreciation by late 2026.

Vietnam's Economic Dilemma: Growth vs. Stability

• Vietnam faces a difficult choice between pursuing high growth (over 10% in 2026) and maintaining economic stability.
• A warning against expanding credit in 2026 to avoid asset bubbles and financial system risks highlights the stability concern.
• Credit growth has historically been the main driver of Vietnam's economic growth, creating a conflict with the stability objective.
• Low inflation (around 3.31%) despite strong GDP growth (8.02%) suggests that growth may be driven by foreign investment (FDI) rather than domestic consumption, with money flowing into assets rather than the real economy.

Credit Tightening and Market Implications

• The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) is reportedly limiting credit growth to around 13-15% for 2026, a significant decrease from previous years.
• This tightening is expected to redirect credit towards the real economy, particularly manufacturing and production, away from real estate.
• The reduction in excess credit is likely to temper asset price inflation, including in the stock market.
• While credit is being tightened, the overall market liquidity remains, preventing a sharp downturn but suggesting a sideways or sideways-up market trend.

Investment Strategy in a Tightening Credit Environment

• The focus shifts to quality companies with good valuations, particularly large-cap, leading firms, and those that haven't significantly increased in 2025.
• Sectors aligned with the end of a large easing cycle (chemicals, oil & gas, infrastructure, insurance) are favored for long-term investment.
• For shorter-term trading, a rotation is expected: banks first, followed by securities, then real estate, and finally construction materials.
• Investors should prioritize stocks with strong fundamentals and good valuations, as market growth will increasingly depend on corporate earnings rather than monetary policy alone.
