Three out of the five submarine Internet cable systems connecting Vietnam to the world are facing problems, seriously affecting users’ international connections, the Vietnam News Agency reported on Saturday, citing local Internet service providers (ISPs). In early 2023, all five of these systems encountered issues, resulting in a 75-percent reduction in Internet traffic between Vietnam and the rest of the world. This incident marked the most serious failure of undersea Internet cables in the Southeast Asian country to date, according to Tien Phong. Aside from the five main undersea cable systems, Vietnam is connected by a smaller submarine Internet cable, the TVH, which links Thailand, Vietnam, and Hong Kong, spanning 3,367km. Vietnam also has several terrestrial internet cable routes, though most of the country's international Internet traffic is transmitted via its undersea cable systems, according to the Vietnam News Agency.

HÀ NỘI — The domestic stock market struggled last week as the VN-Index corrected strongly after returning to the threshold of 1,300 points.

HÀ NỘI — Though the latest US Federal Reserve (Fed)’s interest rate decision will not have a major impact here in Việt Nam, the move is still a positive signal for the economy, experts said. Last Wednesday, the Fed held its benchmark interest rate steady in the 5.25-5.50 per cent range, for a seventh consecutive meeting. Dr. Lê Duy Bình, Managing Director of economic consulting firm Economica Vietnam, said that although the Fed’s recent decision will not have a great impact, it is still a positive signal for many economies, including Việt Nam. If the Fed lowers interest rates in the near future, it will create excitement for many economies and Việt Nam is no exception because there is less pressure to adjust interest rates, Bình said. UOB’s analysts believe the SBV will keep the refinancing interest rate at the current rate of 4.5 per cent and focus efforts on supporting credit growth.
