It also added in its report that the State Bank of Vietnam cut policy rates last month as the economy expanded at a slower pace of 4.9% in Q1, dragged down by the contracted bank lending which dented business expansion and household spending. "Looking ahead, we expect another rate cut in the second half of this year and a full-year GDP growth at 5.5% in 2013," BBVA said.
