The State Bank of Vietnam raised its central rate by 10 dong to a record 24,643 on February 20, its third straight increase that week. It also removed the rigid interbank ceiling and set the bank trading ceiling at 25,875 per dollar.
Wider trading bands let the dong move more freely against the dollar, which increases exchange-rate volatility for Vietnamese importers of feed commodities. The change points to a weaker dong over time.
