# Exchange rate pressure erodes business profits

> The State Bank of Vietnam is gradually adjusting its central exchange rate and accepting a controlled depreciation of the dong to absorb external shocks and protect reserves. Sharp currency moves in the first half of 2025 raised financing costs for importers and firms with foreign-currency loans, cutting profits across several sectors. Pressure is expected to persist in the second half of the year.

## Why it matters

A weaker dong raises the local cost of dollar-priced feed and ingredient imports for Vietnamese buyers, which tends to squeeze margins and can dampen import demand.
