DRV1804 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Good evening DV friends!! Is it bad that afer this article im starting to have more faith in the VND than the IQD?! Please dont bash...just a little down on the IQD investment right now...and would really love your guys thoughts.....thank you in advance and as always GO RV!! * State Bank of Vietnam plans to increase dong to dollar value August 15th, 2011 11:06 am · Posted in NEWS (Iraq & World Currency) Vietnam’s bank notes VietFinanceNews.com – The State Bank of Vietnam plans to increase the value of the Vietnamese dong against the US dollar over the next four months in a bid to protect the value of the domestic currency, State Bank Governor Nguyen Van Binh told Sai Gon Economic Times this week. “Since February, the real value of Vietnamese dong has risen slightly,” Binh said. “If necessary, the central bank will consider further adjustment of the exchange rate,” he added. “The primary target of foreign exchange policy is to stabilise the dong and keep it under control, not to fix it. Confidence in the domestic currency has been fading and we must immediately restore that confidence, which is vital to economic stability.” Binh advised the public that holding onto the dong was the best policy to keep people from flocking to invest in gold and to reduce dollarisation of the economy. Strategies to protect the dong would include deposit interest rate reform that created predictable interest rates at levels of around 14 percent for dong deposits and 2 percent for US dollar deposits, he said. http://www.vietfinan...se-dong-to.html Recent dollar speculation on the foreign exchange black market was a move to take advantage of soaring global gold prices, he added. “In fact, the demand for dollars to pay for imports is not high, and even petrol importers are not demonstrating a high demand for dollars,” Binh said. “The nation’s foreign reserves are sufficient to offset any imbalance in the supply of and demand for dollars.” The central bank bought up over US$4 billion in the first seven months of the year. At the Consultative Group Meeting in June, the International Monetary Fund estimated that Vietnam’s foreign reserves totalled US$13.5 billion, equivalent to 1.5 months of imports. On August 14, banks quoted buy/sell rates of VND20,814/VND20,824 per dollar, while the greenback traded for under VND21,000 on the black market. On August 9, as domestic gold prices soared to an all-time record of VND46 million (US$2,203) per tael, the dollar was traded at VND21,300 on the black market and around VND20,810 at banks. http://www.vietfinan...se-dong-to.html 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallyWeaver Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I don't think it's bad to be opportunistic.... Whatever the opportunity is that presents itself it is often wise to capitalize! I'm not worried... the IQD will have its day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theflyingbird Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 I really think the Iraqi dinar is going to give us a better return than the Vietnamese Dong but for the price you can buy the Vietnamese Dong for it is worth stocking up on some. That article definitely make you wonder which one is gonna RV first. I am glad I have some of each currency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlefeet Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Being invested in both, VND and IQD, it would be nice to have it value along with the USD.......maybe 1:1, probably wishful thinking, hope not. It was so cheap that we bought several million. .25 would be nice too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed57 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 Does anyone have any thoughts on what would be the best denominations of dong to have? My thought would be to get the smallest denominations available in case of a LOP in the future. Any thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueOrchid919 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) The State Bank of Vietnam plans to increase the value of the Vietnamese dong against the US dollar over the next four months The VND is pegged to the dollar. Therefore any adjustments upward would be AGAINST the dollar. No where in this article does it say the VND is increasing TO dollar value !!! This post title is VERY misleading and should be changed to reflect the actual WORDING in the article rather than personal interpretation. I am sure you did not intend to cause even one person to buy VND, did you? Any increases of the VND will be very small. VERY small. Vietnam is controlled by China and China will not allow any major increases. Please do some research on China's position with regard to Vietnam. Please read news articles at face value.
