Vietnam's BoP has continuously been in surplus in recent years, even when heavily affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on descriptive statistical methods, comparison, analysis and synthesis, this article has shown that the surplus in the current account of Vietnam was mainly due to the surplus in the trade balance. In addition, despite receiving large remittances, the amount of money that Vietnam had to pay to foreign investors was always much more excess than that Vietnam earns from investing abroad, causing the balance of income to run in deficit. Vietnam's financial account was also in surplus because she has received an enormous amount of foreign direct investments. The surplus in Vietnam's BoP has enhanced Vietnam's external position, but it has put pressure on the domestic currency to appreciate and warn of future macroeconomic uncertainties. Therefore, in the future, Vietnam needs to determine the priority in its policy whether to stabilise the exchange rate or have an independent monetary policy in the context of increasingly liberalised capital accounts.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Платёжный баланс – важный макроэкономический показатель, всесторонне отражающий экономические операции той или иной страны с зарубежными партнерами. Все последние годы, даже в тяжелых условиях пандемии COVID-19, платёжный баланс Вьетнама продолжал оставаться положительным. Автор на основании статистических данных и метода сравнительного анализа приходит к выводу, что профицит счета текущих операций образовался главным образом за счет профицита торгового баланса страны. Кроме того, несмотря на значительные денежные поступления, долги иностранным инвесторам постоянно превышали доходы, получаемые от вьетнамских инвестиций за рубежом, что привело к дефициту баланса доходов. Финансовый счет платёжного баланса также был профицитным благодаря поступлению значительных объёмов прямых иностранных инвестиций. Профицит платёжного баланса укрепляет позиции Вьетнама на внешнем рынке, но в то же время он оказывает давление на отечественную валюту, что может привести к макроэкономическим проблемам в будущем. Поэтому Вьетнаму необходимо определить приоритет в своей финансовой политике: стабилизировать обменный курс национальной валюты или проводить независимую монетарную политику по дальнейшей либерализации операций с капиталом.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>balance of payments</kwd><kwd>current account</kwd><kwd>financial account</kwd><kwd>Vietnam</kwd><kwd>surplus</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>платёжный баланс</kwd><kwd>текущий счет</kwd><kwd>финансовый счет</kwd><kwd>Вьетнам</kwd><kwd>профицит</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Ханойский государственный университет</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">Vietnam National University</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source><award-id>QG.21.46</award-id></award-group></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">General Statistics Office – GSO (2021).
