Gold in Vietnam
Vietnam has one of Southeast Asia's most distinctive gold markets, shaped by a unique measurement unit — the lượng (37.5 grams) — and a highly regulated, State Bank-controlled supply system. Gold plays a critical role in Vietnamese culture as a wedding gift, savings vehicle, and inflation hedge. Prices are quoted in Vietnamese Dong (VND) per lượng, and Vietnam's gold market is closely watched for its unusual structure.
Local Market Context
Ho Chi Minh City's Binh Tay market and Hanoi's Hàng Bạc Street are the traditional gold trading centers. SJC (Saigon Jewelry Company) is the State-designated national gold standard brand whose bars trade at a significant premium to international spot — a result of government import restrictions. Vietnam's State Bank tightly controls gold bar imports, creating periodic supply shortages and inflated SJC premiums.
Taxes & Duties in Vietnam
Vietnam applies a 10% import duty and 10% VAT on gold, creating a combined tax load of approximately 20% above international spot. The SJC premium — sometimes an additional 20–30% above international prices — is a structural market feature caused by import restrictions rather than formal taxation. Freshgoldprice.com's prices reflect the duty and VAT but not the full SJC bar premium, which varies and is separately tracked.
Buying Tips for Vietnam
For investment, SJC bars are the most liquid format in Vietnam, accepted universally by licensed dealers. Be aware that SJC bars trade at a premium to international spot that can be substantial — compare to jewelry gold (non-SJC) for a closer-to-spot alternative. For jewelry, ask for the purity certificate (phiếu bảo hành). Buy from licensed 'tiệm vàng' (gold shops) registered with the State Bank.
Gold as an Investment in Vietnam
Vietnam's gold market is unique globally: SJC bars command premiums that are government-created by import restrictions, functioning as a dual market where SJC and non-SJC (jewelry) gold trade at different prices. For investors, SJC bars offer domestic liquidity but sometimes at very high premiums to international spot. The State Bank periodically auctions SJC bars to control premiums.
