# VND/USD: Dong Weakness Grows as Vietnam Boosts Infrastructure Spending - Bloomberg

> The Vietnamese dong weakened as much as 0.1% to 26,401 per dollar, a fresh record low. Pressure is coming from government infrastructure spending and a hit to exports from US trade policy. MUFG expects 26,500 per dollar by year-end, citing higher import needs and a narrowing current-account surplus.

## Why it matters

A weaker dong raises the local-currency cost of imported feed ingredients and energy for Vietnamese buyers, while making Vietnamese exports cheaper in dollar terms. The effect on global feed prices is small.
