SINGAPORE — Vietnam is expected to allow companies to import gold for the first time in over a decade, as it aims to bridge the widening gap between local prices and international benchmarks, an industry official told Reuters.

An employee places ingots of 99.99 percent pure gold in a workroom at the Novosibirsk precious metals refining and manufacturing plant in the Siberian city of Novosibirsk, Russia, Sept 15, 2023.

"The government said they will start official gold imports by July or August. We hope that by July they will allow gold companies to import directly," Khanh said on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Precious Metals conference. Immediately reducing premiums on domestic prices is crucial, as VGTA estimates Vietnam's gold demand to surge this year. The southeast nation is among the top 10 consumers of gold.
