# Fed rate cut offers Vietnam room to stabilise currency and economy

> The Federal Reserve cut its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 4.00–4.25% on September 17, its first cut of 2025. The State Bank of Vietnam set the central rate at VND25,186 per USD that day, the tenth consecutive session without an uptick. Economists expect the cut to ease pressure on the dong through year-end.
