The
State Bank of Vietnam has fined three more businesses for listing their prices
in US currency.
The fines were imposed Wednesday on three
private travel agents, Diamond for Life, Minh Tien and Minh Phu in the Mekong
Delta province of Dong Thap, based on a provincial investigation carried out
late December.
A Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper report said Minh
Phu was fined VND5 million (US$238) and the two others VND11.33 million ($539)
each.
It’s illegal for businesses operating in
Vietnam to list their prices in foreign currency. Violations are subject to
cash penalties that can go up to VND500 million ($23,800).
Late last year, the highest penalty was levied
on the Sofitel Metropole Hotel and FPT University, both in Hanoi.
