The market reacted positively to a two-day meeting between Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung and leaders from HCM City and Ha Noi to find solutions for troubles in the property market and address bad debts.

During the meeting, State Bank Governor Nguyen Van Binh pledged to spend VND100-150 trillion ($4.7-7.1 billion) to handle bad debts, especially those related to real-estate, in the second and third quarter next year.

At the same time, the Government also promised to use VND20 trillion ($1.9 billion) to support housing buyers to obtain reasonable interest rates of about 8 per cent for a five to 10-year period.

Prime Minister Dung agreed it was time to reduce interest rates. As the Ministry of Planning and Investment reported, the consumer price index would rise below 0.5 per cent this month, the year's index would therefore be 7 per cent, he said.
"This is sufficient to lower interest rates," he said.
