The Chairman of the State Securities Commission affirmed that after today's signing ceremony, the State Securities Commission of Vietnam will further strengthen cooperative relationships and share information to support stock market supervision with regulatory agencies in the region, especially in the context of global financial markets increasingly facing new challenges under the rapid development of science and technology, artificial intelligence... as well as the requirements for green, sustainable development and ESG implementation.
“This is an important milestone for the global market regulatory network, because S-MMOU is the foundational mechanism for APRC and IOSCO members to support each other in effectively implementing management, supervision, inspection and enforcement in the field of securities and the stock market. The signing of S-MMOU by the State Securities Commission of Vietnam demonstrates the commitment of the Vietnamese securities market regulator to promote cooperation in supervision and development of the regional securities market,” Mr. Rodrigo Buenaventura - Secretary General of IOSCO congratulated the State Securities Commission of Vietnam on becoming an official member signing S-MMOU.

The SSC of Vietnam is ready to cooperate and support each other among regulatory agencies to develop the regional securities market in a stable and sustainable manner.
