Vietnam's Stock Market Cap Ratio Compared to Regional Peers
What happened
Vietnam's stock market capitalization reached approximately $413.89 billion by mid-October, equating to 82-83 percent of its GDP. This ratio was higher than Indonesia's 65 percent and the Philippines' 50.3 percent, but lower than Thailand's 93.4 percent, Singapore's 101 percent, and Malaysia's 109.4 percent. The country aims to raise its stock market capitalization to 120 percent of GDP by 2030.

Why it matters
The growing demand for loans has made it difficult for banks to secure sufficient funds, highlighting the need for alternative financing channels for businesses. To reduce reliance on bank loans, Vietnam must expand medium- and long-term funding through stock and bond issuance, which the stock market is expected to help facilitate.
