SBV holds tenth gold bullion auction

The State Bank of Viet Nam (SBV) yesterday organised its 10th auction of gold bars, with a total volume of 26,000 taels offered.

All the gold was sold. The SBV set the reference price at VND41.83 million (US$2,017) per tael, which is about VND120,000 higher than the buying price and about VND230,000 lower than selling price on the market, according to the online VnExpress.

It's reported that 22 enterprises and banks attended the auction, eight of which bought gold bars.

The SBV began selling and buying gold with banks and enterprises in March this year in an effort to balance demand and supply and stabilise the market.

The gold is priced from VND41.97 to VND42.20 per tael, about VND6.2 million higher than the gold price in world market.
