# Vietnam’s central bank sells $1.5 bln to stabilize currency: broker MBS

> The State Bank of Vietnam sold about $1.5 billion via 180-day cancelable forward contracts on August 25-26 at VND26,550 per USD to ease pressure on the dong. MBS attributed the pressure to strong import demand for raw materials and dollar hoarding. The dong weakened again after the intervention.

## Why it matters
