However, Mr Vu said that, should carefully calculate the USD loans if the lending trend remains as last time will cause pressure on businesses to buy dollars to repay when the loan matures . "State Bank forecast the balance of payments can be $ 1 billion surplus, but the trend of trade deficit remains high, demand for U.S. dollar loans is increasing rapidly, the future U.S. dollars to meet enterprise repayment will be how it was a big question mark, "he added.
