Vietnam's liquidity crunch eases but property-sector risks linger

HANOI, May 23 (Xinhua) -- Funding stress in Vietnam's banking system, which has complicated the government's efforts to shore up the economy, appears to have eased after a series of policy easing, the Vietnam News reported on Tuesday.

However, short-terms risks to the stability of the banking system still linger on continued sluggishness in the property sector and an economic slowdown, said Fitch Ratings.
