Vietnam to import 6 tons gold this month: report

Vietnam will import 6 tons of gold this month, state broadcaster VTV said on Thursday, after the central bank last week lifted a ban on imports to stabilize an overheating market.

So far, 1.5 tons had been imported, 500 kg each by Sacombank, ACB and Eximbank. Saigon Jewellery Corp will import 1 ton, and 500 kg being imported by Agribank Jewellery Company will arrive in a few days, the VTV 1 Financial bulletin said. Source: Reuters
