According to official figures published in [Vietnam Investment Review](https://baodautu.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-hut-rong-hon-27000-ty-dong-trong-thang-10-lai-suat-cho-vay-qua-dem-tang-tro-lai-d735440.html) on November 2, 2026, the State Bank of Vietnam executed cumulative net absorption of VND 27,200bn through open market operations across October 2026. This sustained withdrawal served to compress excess dong liquidity and narrow interest rate differentials against the US dollar. During the final trading week from October 26 to October 30, 2026, the central bank shifted to a tactical net injection. According to data from [Vietnam Investment Review](https://baodautu.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-hut-rong-hon-27000-ty-dong-trong-thang-10-lai-suat-cho-vay-qua-dem-tang-tro-lai-d735440.html) on November 2, 2026, the regulator offered VND 86,000bn in reverse repos across 7-day, 14-day, 35-day, and 91-day tenors at an unchanged lending rate of 4.50% per year.

These open market auctions operate under Article 15 of the [Law on the State Bank of Vietnam No 46/2010/QH12](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/default.aspx?docid=96040&pageid=27160) dated June 16, 2010, with tender mechanisms further detailed on the [Vietnam Government Portal](https://baochinhphu.vn/quy-dinh-moi-ve-nghiep-vu-thi-truong-mo-102295874.htm) on July 12, 2021. The balance between full-month liquidity absorption and short-term injections prevented localized funding bottlenecks across clearing channels. Investors can review operational mechanics in our overview of [open market operations and interbank liquidity](/en/blog/open-market-operations-and-interbank-liquidity-2026). ## Overnight Interbank Rate Touches 6% on Liquidity Monthly net absorption of VND 27,200bn in October 2026 quickly transmitted into interbank funding costs. According to data published in [Vietnam Investment Review](https://baodautu.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-hut-rong-hon-27000-ty-dong-trong-thang-10-lai-suat-cho-vay-qua-dem-tang-tro-lai-d735440.html) on November 2, 2026, average overnight VND lending rates between commercial lenders jumped to 6.00% per year on October 30, 2026, surging 2.10 percentage points in a single session. Term rates displayed milder adjustments, standing at 5.30% for 1-week, 5.48% for 2-week, and 5.60% for 1-month maturities on October 30, 2026 according to [Vietnam Investment Review](https://baodautu.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-hut-rong-hon-27000-ty-dong-trong-thang-10-lai-suat-cho-vay-qua-dem-tang-tro-lai-d735440.html) on November 2, 2026. When overnight interbank costs hit 6.00% per year on October 30, 2026, the funding penalty for holding speculative dollar positions escalated sharply, incentivizing market participants to retain dong liquidity rather than hoard foreign exchange. > Chart: VND interbank lending rate curve on October 30, 2026. %/year. Overnight: 6,00; 1 week: 5,30; 2 weeks: 5,48; 1 month: 5,60. Underlying funding demand across the banking sector remains strong as economic activity expands. In a National Assembly address on October 31, 2026 reported by the [Vietnam Government Portal](https://baochinhphu.vn/thong-doc-noi-ve-lai-suat-tin-dung-bat-dong-san-va-von-cho-doanh-nghiep-102261031130933268.htm), overall system credit exceeded VND 20,879,000bn with 77.44% dedicated to direct production and business activities, while short-term retail deposits accounted for approximately 80% of total deposit funding. Earlier figures from [Banking Times](https://thoibaonganhang.vn/tin-dung-tang-1194-du-no-toan-nen-kinh-te-dat-khoang-208-trieu-ty-dong-189922.html) on October 30, 2026 showed credit expansion reaching 11.94% by October 26, 2026 relative to year-end 2025, sustaining elevated funding demand. ## Central Rate and Commercial Bank USD Cool Down Tighter short-term interbank conditions promptly softened currency market pressures in early November 2026. According to official quotes from [Banking Times](https://thoibaonganhang.vn/sang-211-ty-gia-trung-tam-giam-6-dong-189998-189998.html) on November 2, 2026, the central rate stood at 25,631 VND/USD, lower by 6 dong compared to 25,637 VND/USD on October 30, 2026.

Major commercial banks lowered their retail dollar prices back below the 26,000 threshold on November 2, 2026. According to coverage by [Vietnam News Agency](https://bnews.vn/ty-gia-hom-nay-2-11-gia-ban-usd-roi-moc-26-000-vnd-usd/442701.html) on November 2, 2026, Vietcombank and BIDV quoted retail selling prices at 25,990 VND/USD and transfer buying prices at 25,610 VND/USD, falling 10 to 30 dong from earlier highs. Free market dollar rates on November 2, 2026 also settled toward 26,000 to 26,050 VND/USD as detailed in [Vietnam Investment Review](https://baodautu.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-hut-rong-hon-27000-ty-dong-trong-thang-10-lai-suat-cho-vay-qua-dem-tang-tro-lai-d735440.html) on November 2, 2026. This moderation aligned with international dollar stability as the US Dollar Index hovered between 101.93 and 101.94 points according to [Banking Times](https://thoibaonganhang.vn/sang-211-ty-gia-trung-tam-giam-6-dong-189998-189998.html) on November 2, 2026. With domestic interbank rates anchored near 6.00% per year on October 30, 2026, negative carry on dollar holdings was eliminated, curtailing spot and swap speculative pressures that surfaced during mid-October 2026, as explored in [USD/VND exchange rate dynamics in late October](/en/blog/usd-vnd-exchange-rate-late-october-2026). ## Calculating Net Liquidity Impact on the Open Market To quantify the stance of monetary management, market analysts apply a standard cash flow calculation balancing repo tenders, awards, and maturities on open market operations grounded in the [Law on the State Bank of Vietnam No 46/2010/QH12](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/default.aspx?docid=96040&pageid=27160): $$\text{OMO Net Injection} = \text{Repo Winning Volume} - \text{Repo Maturing Volume} - \text{New SBV Bills Issued} + \text{Maturing SBV Bills}$$ Concurrently, in open market analysis, dealer participation appetite is measured through the auction bid winning ratio after each tender: $$\text{OMO Bid Winning Ratio} = \frac{\text{Winning Volume}}{\text{Offering Volume}} \times 100\%$$ In the week from October 26 to October 30, 2026, according to [Vietnam Investment Review](https://baodautu.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-hut-rong-hon-27000-ty-dong-trong-thang-10-lai-suat-cho-vay-qua-dem-tang-tro-lai-d735440.html) on November 2, 2026, the central bank offered VND 86,000.00bn and awarded VND 66,955.59bn, producing a bid winning ratio of: $$\text{OMO Bid Winning Ratio} = \frac{66,955.59}{86,000.00} \times 100\% \approx 77.86\%$$ According to data from [Vietnam Investment Review](https://baodautu.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-hut-rong-hon-27000-ty-dong-trong-thang-10-lai-suat-cho-vay-qua-dem-tang-tro-lai-d735440.html) on November 2, 2026, with VND 38,793.89bn in repo maturities and zero newly issued bills, total net liquidity added to the interbank market during the week amounted to: $$\text{OMO Net Injection} = 66,955.59 - 38,793.89 = 28,161.70\text{ billion VND}$$ ## Implications for Year-End Capital Flows and Equities Combining monthly net absorption of VND 27,200bn in October 2026 with short-term support of VND 28,161.70bn in late October illustrates a calibrated dual-track strategy. According to [Vietnam Investment Review](https://baodautu.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-hut-rong-hon-27000-ty-dong-trong-thang-10-lai-suat-cho-vay-qua-dem-tang-tro-lai-d735440.html) on November 2, 2026, the central bank preserved elevated interbank rates at 6.00% per year on October 30, 2026 to defend exchange rate stability, while providing flexible liquidity via tenors ranging from 7 to 91 days to prevent systemic friction. As commercial bank selling prices retreated to 25,990 VND/USD at Vietcombank on November 2, 2026 reported by [Vietnam News Agency](https://bnews.vn/ty-gia-hom-nay-2-11-gia-ban-usd-roi-moc-26-000-vnd-usd/442701.html), foreign exchange pressures relaxed across financial markets. Systematically monitoring open market operations allows market observers to gauge true banking liquidity conditions, clarifying capital flow dynamics across Vietnamese asset classes, as highlighted in [Vietnam rates and currency outlook for late 2026](/en/blog/vietnam-rates-fx-late-2026). ## Sources - Vietnam Investment Review: [State Bank net absorbed over 27,000 billion VND in October, overnight lending rate rebounds](https://baodautu.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-hut-rong-hon-27000-ty-dong-trong-thang-10-lai-suat-cho-vay-qua-dem-tang-tro-lai-d735440.html) (02/11/2026) - Banking Times: [Morning of Nov 2: Central exchange rate decreases by 6 VND](https://thoibaonganhang.vn/sang-211-ty-gia-trung-tam-giam-6-dong-189998-189998.html) (02/11/2026) - Banking Times: [Credit up 11.94%, total system outstanding loans reach 20.8 trillion VND](https://thoibaonganhang.vn/tin-dung-tang-1194-du-no-toan-nen-kinh-te-dat-khoang-208-trieu-ty-dong-189922.html) (30/10/2026) - Vietnam Government Portal: [Governor speaks on interest rates, real estate credit and corporate capital](https://baochinhphu.vn/thong-doc-noi-ve-lai-suat-tin-dung-bat-dong-san-va-von-cho-doanh-nghiep-102261031130933268.htm) (31/10/2026) - Vietnam Government Portal: [New regulations on open market operations](https://baochinhphu.vn/quy-dinh-moi-ve-nghiep-vu-thi-truong-mo-102295874.htm) (12/07/2021) - Official Legal Portal of Vietnam: [Law on the State Bank of Vietnam No 46/2010/QH12](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/default.aspx?docid=96040&pageid=27160) (16/06/2010) - Vietnam News Agency: [Exchange rate today Nov 2: USD selling price leaves 26,000 VND mark](https://bnews.vn/ty-gia-hom-nay-2-11-gia-ban-usd-roi-moc-26-000-vnd-usd/442701.html) (02/11/2026) ## Frequently asked questions ### Why did the SBV net absorb VND 27,200bn in October 2026?

With a ±5% trading band, commercial banks can quote USD between a lower floor of 24,349 VND/USD and an upper ceiling of 26,913 VND/USD. --- _Source: Ginity (ginity.vn).
