Gini · Macro & monetary · 2026-11-11 · https://ginity.vn/en/blog/sbv-spot-usd-purchases-november-11-2026-liquidity-transmission _Lead analyst: Đào Ngọc Bảo Linh · Finance and securities specialist · Ho Chi Minh City · 0932 439 639_ ## Key takeaways - The SBV will conduct spot foreign exchange purchases twice weekly on Mondays and Wednesdays from November 11, 2026. - The intervention buying rate is fixed at 25,500 VND/USD, setting a firm psychological floor for the interbank FX market. - Spot operations inject unencumbered VND liquidity without scheduled repurchase obligations, unlike FX swap structures. - Every $1 billion in FX purchases delivers roughly VND 25,500 billion directly into domestic commercial banking reserves. The announcement from the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) regarding outright spot foreign exchange purchases from November 11, 2026 marks a strategic operational transition, providing permanent VND liquidity to support credit targets and moderate borrowing costs. ## Operational Architecture and Execution Timetable Disclosures from [Thoi bao Tai chinh Viet Nam](https://thoibaotaichinhvietnam.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-sap-mua-usd-giao-ngay-gia-25-500-dong-ky-vong-loi-ich-kep-cho-thi-truong-206667.html) and [Vietstock](https://vietstock.vn/2026/11/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-mua-ngoai-te-giao-ngay-them-kenh-cung-ung-tien-vnd-on-dinh-lai-suat-757-1513287.htm) delineate a clear four-step transmission process: ```flow [ {"step": 1, "title": "FX Offer Submission", "desc": "Commercial banks submit surplus USD sell orders to the SBV Operations Center"}, {"step": 2, "title": "Spot Execution at 25,500", "desc": "SBV matches spot USD purchases at the predetermined 25,500 VND/USD rate"}, {"step": 3, "title": "Reserve Account Credit", "desc": "Participating banks receive unencumbered VND credit in reserve accounts"}, {"step": 4, "title": "Rate Easing Transmission", "desc": "Expanded domestic liquidity relieves interbank rate pressure per Circular 9736"} ] ``` The 25,500 VND/USD floor anchors forward expectations, mitigating speculative currency hoarding and narrowing spreads across interbank channels. ## Comparing Spot Interventions with FX Swap Structures The table below contrasts the monetary properties of outright spot operations with temporary currency swaps: | Structural Criterion | Outright Spot (Effective Nov 11, 2026) | Foreign Exchange Swap (FX Swap) | Systemic Impact | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Capital Duration | No reciprocal buyback obligation | Fixed maturity (1 week to 3 months) | Permanent balance sheet liquidity | | Cashflow Profile | Net non-reversible VND injection | Temporary injection with scheduled reversal | Accumulates national foreign reserves | | Applicable Pricing | Fixed at 25,500 VND/USD | Spot rate plus forward swap points | Creates predictable valuation anchor | | Interest Rate Effect | Lowers medium-term yield curve | Manages temporary month-end squeezes | Reduces real economy financing costs | Source: Analysis synthesized from [ACB Financial Markets Division](https://thoibaotaichinhvietnam.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-sap-mua-usd-giao-ngay-gia-25-500-dong-ky-vong-loi-ich-kep-cho-thi-truong-206667.html) and [CafeF](https://cafef.vn/nong-ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-se-mua-ngoai-te-giao-ngay-bom-vnd-cho-he-thong-ngan-hang-vao-thu-hai-va-thu-tu-hang-tuan-tu-ngay-11-11-188261109200423359.chn). ## Transmission into Domestic Interbank Curves Outright FX acquisition represents a cost-effective funding alternative for commercial lenders: each $1 billion purchased delivers roughly VND 25,500 billion without incurring OMO borrowing rates. > Chart: Interbank lending curve across standard tenors. % p.a.. ON: 4.35; 1W: 4.52; 2W: 4.70; 1M: 4.95; 3M: 5.20; 6M: 5.45. Amplified liquidity provides commercial lenders with balance sheet capacity to fulfill official directives under Official Letters 9608/NHNN-CSTT and 9736/NHNN-CSTT: reducing deposit rates by at least 0.50% and driving lending rates down by 1.50% to 2.00% across manufacturing and productive enterprise sectors. ## References - Vietstock: [State Bank of Vietnam buys spot FX, expanding VND money supply and stabilizing interest rates](https://vietstock.vn/2026/11/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-mua-ngoai-te-giao-ngay-them-kenh-cung-ung-tien-vnd-on-dinh-lai-suat-757-1513287.htm) (November 10, 2026). - CafeF: [SBV to purchase spot foreign exchange, injecting VND into commercial banking system](https://cafef.vn/nong-ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-se-mua-ngoai-te-giao-ngay-bom-vnd-cho-he-thong-ngan-hang-vao-thu-hai-va-thu-tu-hang-tuan-tu-ngay-11-11-188261109200423359.chn) (November 09, 2026). - Thoi bao Tai chinh Viet Nam: [SBV to purchase spot USD at 25,500 rate, promising dual market benefits](https://thoibaotaichinhvietnam.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-sap-mua-usd-giao-ngay-gia-25-500-dong-ky-vong-loi-ich-kep-cho-thi-truong-206667.html) (November 10, 2026). - Thanh Nien: [SBV purchases spot USD, enhancing liquidity for commercial banks](https://thanhnien.vn/ngan-hang-nha-nuoc-mua-usd-giao-ngay-tang-thanh-khoan-cho-ngan-hang-thuong-mai-185261110082613938.htm) (November 10, 2026).
