According to Bloomberg, some retail investors in Vietnam are selling stocks to purchase high-yield notes issued by banks in order to secure interest rates approaching 10%. The report frames this trend against the backdrop of weak local stock market performance and waning interest from both domestic and foreign investors. The current summary does not specify the note maturities, the specific issuing banks, or the guarantee conditions, and therefore it cannot be generalized to mean that all ordinary bank deposits enjoy an interest rate of nearly 10%.
