Credit institutions and gold trading enterprises will be subject to inspection in terms of compliance with policies and laws in gold trading activities, according to Decision 324/QD-TTGSNH2 issued by the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) on May 17.

As per the Decision, the inspection will focus on the adherence to legal regulations concerning gold trading, anti-money laundering, accounting and invoicing practices, tax declaration and fulfillment.

The inspection period spans from January 1, 2020, through May 15, 2024, and may be extended to the time before or after the specified period if deemed necessary.
