Our empirical results suggest that the key drivers of inflation in the short-run are movements
in the nominal effective exchange rate. Credit growth has a significant positive impact on
inflation over a medium-term horizon of 2-10 quarters, while positive shocks to real GDP
growth tend to generate inflationary pressures after 4 quarters, with the impact lasting for the
subsequent 5 quarters. Interest rate shocks tend to have a significant impact on GDP growth
and on growth in credit to the economy over the short- to medium-term. Moreover, whereas
there appears to be a strong and significant relationship in Vietnam between inflation and
growth of total credit to the economy, this is not the case for inflation and growth of the
money supply (as measured by M2). Counter-intuitively, the response of inflation to a rise in
the nominal interest rate appears to be significant only in the first two quarters, and is
positive. This could be because the State Bank of Vietnam has, to date, been rather passive
instead of forward-looking in responding to inflation.
