This was the third time it did so for a lack of bidders.
In its statement on May 2, the bank said it would auction an additional 16,800 taels of gold bars at 9am on May 3. Buyers can bid to buy between 1,400 and 2,000 taels, and the starting price was at 82.9 million VND (over 3,263 USD) per tael.
Earlier, State-owned gold producer and distributor Saigon Jewelry Company and Asia Commercial Joint Stock Bank (ACB) bought 3,400 taels out of the 16,800 offered by the central bank during the auction on April 23. The gold was purchased for 81.33 million VND (3,195 USD) per tael at the highest, and 81.32 million VND at the lowest, against the base price of 81.30 million VND.
The central bank said the auctions aim at ensuring stable, transparent, and effective operation of the domestic market.
Huynh Trung Khanh, Vice President of the Vietnam Gold Trading Association, suggested the SBV consider adjusting the minimum bidding volume to about 400 - 500 taels to attract more bidders./.
