In the latest issue of ADB’s Asia Bond Monitor released on Wednesday, ADB reported ten-year government bond yields and two-year government bond yields of Vietnam declined 50 and 20 basis points between 31 December and 29 February, respectively.

According to ADB, the pandemic and deepening global economic uncertainty are also weighing heavily on local currency bond markets of other East Asian economies, including China, Hong Kong (China), Indonesia, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand, according to Vietnam News.

“Financial markets in the region are already feeling the brunt of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, with foreign investment and sector activities on the downside, coupled with ongoing trade issues,” said ADB Chief Economist Yasuyuki Sawada.

Meanwhile, 100 billion VND (US$4,247,755) worth of 30-year bonds were sold with a yield rate of 3.1 percent, up 0.1 percent as compared with the March 11 auction.
