Vietnam on Thursday denied gaining “unfair competitive advantage in international trade” with its exchange rate management after the U.S. Department of the Treasury labeled the Southeast Asian country as a currency manipulator.
The U.S. Treasury on Wednesday delivered to Congress the semiannual Report on Macroeconomic and Foreign Exchange Policies of Major Trading Partners of the United States, naming ten economies including China, Japan, South Korea, Germany, Italy, Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, and India on a ‘Monitoring List’ of those suspected to be devaluing their currencies against the dollar.

HÀ NỘI Việt Nam s exchange rate control, as part of its general currency policy, aims at keeping inflation in check and stabilising the macroeconomy. The country does not intend to create unfair competitive advantage in international trade, said the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) on Thursday morning in a response to a report by the US Department of the Treasury in which it listed Việt Nam and Switzerland as currency manipulators.
On the topic of bilateral trade imbalances, the SBV said its recent purchase of foreign currency was part of an effort to ensure the stability of its Forex exchange market and to build up reserves and strengthen currency security, which has been considered to be on the lower side in comparison with other countries in Southeast Asia.
