# Central bank on verge of further easing monetary policy: expert

> A lecturer at the Fulbright School said the State Bank of Vietnam may ease monetary policy further if inflation stays below 4.5% through May. Inflation fell from 4.9% in January to 4.3% in February. The central bank has been buying foreign currency to rebuild reserves after selling about $27 billion late last year.

## Why it matters

Further easing would lower domestic borrowing costs for feed and livestock producers. Central bank reserve purchases support the dong, which limits the cost of dollar-priced feed imports.
