# No huge pressure on exchange in 2019: experts

> Vietnamese market experts, citing an SSI Securities report and MB Securities, forecast minimal pressure on the dong against the dollar in 2019. The dong lost about 2.3% against the dollar in 2018, less than the euro, sterling and yuan. Vietnam's foreign reserves of about $63.5 billion are seen as a buffer.
