Banks Cut Interest Rates On Kip Accounts, Raise For Foreign Currencies
[:en]Commercial banks in Laos have lowered the interest rates charged on loans and offered on Kip accounts in line with a recent decision made by the Bank of the Lao PDR, hoping to stimulate economic activity. Conversely, banks have raised the interest rates offered on Thai Baht and US dollar deposit accounts hoping to build up reserves of these currencies amidst rising demand for the baht and US dollar. Banks informed Vientiane Times yesterday that lowering the interest rates on Kip accounts and loans was intended to encourage people to spend Kip and boost economic productivity.[:]
