HANOI Nov 17 (Reuters) - Vietnam's central bank governor said on Tuesday any devaluation in the dong VND= would pose risks to growing national and corporate foreign currency debt.

"National debt is very large and corporate debt denominated in foreign currencies is not small, at around $17 billion," Nguyen Van Giau told the National Assembly, the country's parliament, in a live television broadcast. (Reporting by Nguyen Nhat Lam; Editing by Alan Raybould)
