What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Vietnam officially entered FTSE Russell’s Secondary Emerging Market category on September 21. This reclassification gives Vietnamese equities access to a much larger pool of international capital, and FTSE Russell estimates this could redirect as much as $6 billion into the country in the future. However, sustained investment will depend on market depth, liquidity, transparency, and risk management.
