In March, the trend of reducing deposit interest rates of most banks continued to be maintained, even some private banks such as ACB, Sacombank, VPBank, Techcombank are maintaining interest rates at low levels. significantly better than the group of state-owned banks. However, some joint stock banks have begun to increase interest rates mainly for short terms of less than 5 months to attract more deposits after the Lunar New Year.




According to experts, although deposit interest rates have decreased significantly, the amount of deposits in the banking system is still at a record high. In addition, due to weak credit demand due to the lack of improvement in production and consumption needs, most banks are not interested in increasing mobilization interest rates again to attract deposits.




However, credit growth is forecast to recover in the second quarter, which will make system liquidity less abundant and potentially push banks to increase deposit interest rates.




In a newly published analysis report, MB Securities (MBS) believes that input interest rates are likely to bottom in the first quarter and are unlikely to decrease further, mainly because credit demand will tend to increase during the year. 2024.




"We forecast that 12-month deposit interest rates of large commercial banks will be able to move up by 25 - 50 basis points, returning to 5.25% - 5.5% in 2024," MBS said.




Rong Viet Securities (VDSC) also believes that the contradictory adjustment of deposit interest rates of some banks in February along with the increasing trend of interbank interest rates may imply a scenario of deposit interest rates. may gradually increase from the second quarter of 2024, earlier than the analyst group's previous expectation that deposit interest rates may increase from the second half of 2024.
