Ánh Nguyệt

Ánh Nguyệt, a 28-year-old resident of Hanoi, has become emblematic of the current gold buying frenzy in Vietnam. After receiving her monthly salary of 8 million VND, she often borrows money to purchase gold, reflecting a shift in her mindset from viewing gold as an old person's investment to a crucial asset in the face of rising prices. With the gold price soaring over 100 million VND per tael in recent months, she is determined to buy gold at any cost, even if it means living on borrowed funds. Her story highlights the broader phenomenon of individuals becoming increasingly drawn into gold investments amidst economic uncertainty.
