The State Bank of Việt Nam’s reference exchange rate for the US dollar fell by 0.1 per cent at the end of 2020.
Analysts expect the greenback to weaken further this year.
The US’s Federal Reserve plans to keep its rates near zero per cent until at least 2023 and allow a period of higher inflation, which is going to keep the dollar weak in 2021, according to VNDirect.
