Gini · Macro & monetary · 2026-11-01 · https://ginity.vn/en/blog/sbv-proposes-postponing-gold-exchange-establishment _Lead analyst: Đào Ngọc Bảo Linh · Finance and securities specialist · Ho Chi Minh City · 0932 439 639_ ## Key takeaways - A report submitted on November 1, 2026 to the National Assembly confirms the central bank recommends postponing the gold exchange. - Monetary authorities conducted a comprehensive review of legal frameworks and market impacts in 2026 to curb foreign exchange volatility. - Credit expansion reached 12.27% over 10 months of 2026 with 77.44% channeled directly into productive manufacturing and services. ## Strategic direction for domestic gold market supervision According to [Báo Đầu tư Chứng khoán](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-de-xuat-chua-lap-san-giao-dich-vang-post400568.html) on November 1, 2026, in a formal progress report submitted to the National Assembly regarding oversight resolutions in the banking sector, the Governor of the State Bank of Vietnam confirmed proposing to the Prime Minister that establishing a centralized national gold exchange should be deferred during the current period. Under National Assembly Resolution 263/2025/QH15, the central bank was assigned to evaluate mechanisms capable of transforming idle domestic physical gold reserves into active capital resources supporting productive business activities. According to [Báo Điện tử Chính phủ on October 31, 2026](https://baochinhphu.vn/bo-truong-tai-chinh-ly-giai-ve-kiem-soat-lam-phat-va-tien-do-giai-ngan-102261031132627603.htm), following an exhaustive multi-agency assessment of regulatory foundations and market conditions, the monetary authority concluded that preserving stability, keeping inflation within the 3.88% to 4.52% benchmark, and protecting foreign exchange buffers remain primary priorities. > Chart: Credit expansion and key macro benchmarks across 10 months of 2026. %. Credit expansion: 12.27; Average inflation: 3.88; Productive credit share: 77.44. ## Systemic stability and monetary defense against speculation According to statements delivered by the central bank leadership reported by [Báo Điện tử Chính phủ](https://baochinhphu.vn/thong-doc-noi-ve-lai-suat-tin-dung-bat-dong-san-va-von-cho-doanh-nghiep-102261031130933268.htm) on October 31, 2026, creating an institutional exchange requires sophisticated secondary instruments, certified custodial infrastructure, centralized clearing protocols, and standardized taxation frameworks. An early launch could create speculative leveraged bets and draw liquidity away from fundamental enterprise financing. Systemic financial resources are guided toward high-value manufacturing and industrial infrastructure. According to official disclosures on [Báo Điện tử Chính phủ on October 31, 2026](https://baochinhphu.vn/thong-doc-noi-ve-lai-suat-tin-dung-bat-dong-san-va-von-cho-doanh-nghiep-102261031130933268.htm), across the first 10 months of 2026, total system credit balance exceeded 20.87 trillion VND, recording a solid 12.27% increase compared to early 2026, with 77.44% of total financing deployed into core commerce and productive industries. Regulators remain committed to monetary stability policies to maintain the Vietnamese Dong as the sole official legal tender nationwide. | Macroeconomic and financial indicator | Recorded metric across 10 months of 2026 | Publishing authority / Legal basis | |---|---|---| | Total system credit expansion | 12.27% (system balance >20.87 trillion VND) | Central Bank Governor report on October 31, 2026 | | Share of credit in productive sectors | 77.44% of total credit balance | Central Bank Governor report on October 31, 2026 | | Preferential social housing credit package | 145,000 billion VND | State Bank executive directive 2026 | | Average 9-month consumer price inflation | 3.88% | General Statistics Office / Finance Ministry | Source: Compiled from State Bank of Vietnam reports and Government News disclosures on October 31, 2026. ## Institutional capital allocation and regulatory refinement According to the official government record on [Government Portal](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/?docid=198541&pageid=27160) on October 31, 2026, postponing the establishment of a trading floor does not mean halting institutional research. The State Bank of Vietnam continues collaborating with relevant ministries to monitor international precious metal dynamics, refine statutory frameworks, and mandate standardized electronic invoicing across all retail bullion distribution networks. According to [Báo Đầu tư Chứng khoán](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-de-xuat-chua-lap-san-giao-dich-vang-post400568.html) on November 1, 2026, monetary officials are concurrently accelerating disbursements under the 145,000 billion VND social housing credit package while maintaining banking system stability. Banking liquidity monitoring from [CafeF on November 1, 2026](https://cafef.vn/tai-chinh-ngan-hang.chn) demonstrates that prudent administration of physical gold transactions strengthens domestic currency confidence, maintains balanced liquidity across equity capital markets, and reinforces the national trajectory toward surpassing the annual 10% economic expansion milestone in 2026. From an institutional perspective, the strategic decision to postpone centralized gold exchange operations shields the domestic monetary transmission mechanism from external price shocks. As gold prices historically exhibit strong correlations with global geopolitical tensions and real interest rate differentials, creating a leveraged trading venue without comprehensive statutory ring-fencing could exacerbate retail speculation. By prioritizing organized capital mobilization through corporate equity and debt markets instead of encouraging speculative trading in non-productive physical assets, the State Bank of Vietnam effectively aligns macroeconomic resource allocation with national industrialization priorities throughout late 2026 and the subsequent planning cycle. This consistent policy stance helps maintain investor trust and supports sustainable economic expansion across all key commercial sectors. ## Sources - Báo Đầu tư Chứng khoán: [State Bank of Vietnam proposes postponing the establishment of a gold exchange](https://www.tinnhanhchungkhoan.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-de-xuat-chua-lap-san-giao-dich-vang-post400568.html) (01/11/2026) - Báo Điện tử Chính phủ: [Governor discusses interest rates real estate credit and corporate funding](https://baochinhphu.vn/thong-doc-noi-ve-lai-suat-tin-dung-bat-dong-san-va-von-cho-doanh-nghiep-102261031130933268.htm) (31/10/2026) - Government Portal: [National Assembly resolution on economic development pathway](https://vanban.chinhphu.vn/?docid=198541&pageid=27160) (31/10/2026) - Báo Điện tử Chính phủ: [Finance Minister explains inflation control and public disbursement pacing](https://baochinhphu.vn/bo-truong-tai-chinh-ly-giai-ve-kiem-soat-lam-phat-va-tien-do-giai-ngan-102261031132627603.htm) (31/10/2026) - CafeF: [Financial banking market data and commercial bank indicators in Vietnam](https://cafef.vn/tai-chinh-ngan-hang.chn) (01/11/2026) ## Frequently asked questions ### Why did the State Bank of Vietnam suggest delaying the gold trading floor?
