According to the State Bank of Vietnam (NHNN), to date 11 enterprises and credit institutions have submitted applications for licenses to produce gold bars and to import gold materials.
At a press conference on the afternoon of April 14, Mr. Đào Xuân Tuấn, Director of the Foreign Exchange Management Department at the State Bank (NHNN), said that as of now 11 units—including enterprises and credit institutions—have filed applications for licenses to produce gold bars and to import gold materials.
He noted that this figure is two more than the number NHNN had previously reported at the beginning of the year.
NHNN is coordinating with relevant ministries and agencies to consider granting licenses to gold bar production for qualifying units. After licensed units are approved to produce gold bars, NHNN will consider issuing import licenses for gold to units that meet all conditions under existing regulations.
Mr. Tuấn said licensing is not conducted in isolation, but through close coordination among involved agencies. He added that the process requires regular meetings and careful review of technical standards to ensure transparency and compliance with the law.
“The evaluation of dossiers is very strict, so NHNN is coordinating to review. When official results are available, an announcement will be made,” Mr. Đào Xuân Tuấn said.
Mr. Tuấn also pointed out that the gold market has shown significant volatility. He said authorities have implemented measures to stabilize the market.
He added that adding more licensed units to produce gold bars and to import materials is expected to increase supply in the near term, which would help stabilize the market and narrow the domestic price gap compared with world gold prices.
NHNN said it will continue to closely monitor developments in both the domestic and international gold markets, coordinate with relevant agencies to strengthen market management, and take measures to stabilize the gold market within its authority.
