Vietnam's stock market was upgraded by FTSE Russell from Frontier Market to Secondary Emerging Market status, aligning with the country's strategy to develop its securities market through 2030. An Asia Securities Forum is scheduled for September 30 to October 3, focusing on investment prospects and capital mobilization strategies in Vietnam. The forum will also address standards like ESG and green finance.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The market upgrade is expected to provide more opportunities for Vietnam to access international capital, although the Vietnam Association of Securities Business stated that the upgrade alone is not sufficient to attract large-scale, long-term investment. The event highlights regional efforts by countries like Malaysia and Vietnam to improve capital market quality and attract foreign investment.
