[Vietnam's Stock Market Strives to Become Official: How Much Will It Attract Capital?] ⑴ Vietnam's Minister of Finance recently met with officials from the London Stock Exchange and FTSE Russell to promote an upgrade of its stock market rating. Vietnam stated that it has implemented several reform measures to meet the upgrade criteria and hopes to attract more foreign investment. ⑵ Currently classified as a "frontier market," Vietnam's stock market aims to be upgraded to the "emerging market" category. If achieved, this move is expected to significantly enhance the market's appeal and create a more favorable trading environment for foreign investors. ⑶ As of the end of August, Vietnam's total stock market capitalization was approximately US$352 billion, accounting for 73.9% of its 2024 GDP. This substantial market capitalization indicates significant market potential and lays the foundation for attracting incremental capital. ⑷ The market is generally interested in whether this upgrade will effectively boost the activity and international influence of the Vietnamese stock market. Especially amidst the increasing scrutiny of global capital flows, such rating adjustments often trigger strategic positioning among traders.
