The State Securities Commission of Vietnam (SSC) has just held a conference on the topic and orientation of stock market development in the integration trend.

Speaking at the opening of the conference, Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang said that despite being affected by the general global situation, the Vietnamese stock market last year remained stable, safe, smooth, with good liquidity and enhanced transparency and sustainability.

2025 is the final year of implementing Vietnam's 5-year socio-economic development plan 2021 - 2025. This is an acceleration - breakthrough - finish line, creating the premise for the development plan for the next 5 years, marking the time when the country enters a new era of strong, prosperous development of the nation.

The Government has set a target of GDP growth of at least 8% this year, creating a foundation for double-digit growth in the 2026-2030 period.

To achieve the common goal of the economy, the tasks of the securities industry, SSC and the Vietnamese stock market are very large. The Government has set a very important goal of developing a stable, safe, healthy, effective, sustainable and integrated stock market.

"In the coming time, in addition to the solutions proposed by SSC, the conference is also a favorable opportunity for the parties to share experiences and valuable lessons in the management and operation of the securities sector and the securities market," Minister Nguyen Van Thang emphasized.

Julia Leung, chairwoman of the Asia-Pacific Regional Committee (APRC) and chief executive of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), said the Asia-Pacific economy is expected to grow by about 4% by 2025, making it the fastest growing region in the world.

"Vietnam is a significant contributor to this growth, with its economy forecast to grow by 8% or more this year, among the fastest growing economies in Asia. Vietnam is increasingly asserting its position in global financial markets, through increased connectivity with international capital flows thanks to economic integration and global supply chains," said Ms. Julia.

Towards upgrading Vietnam's stock market

Regional capital markets are facing complex challenges from the global political and economic landscape: persistently high interest rates after a decade of near-zero interest rates in the US and Europe, trade conflicts, tariffs and geopolitical tensions that are temporarily disrupting supply chains, and the impact of technology. Therefore, Asian markets must work more closely and meaningfully to address the region's common challenges.

Domestic and international leaders and experts attending this conference also discussed ways to upgrade Vietnam's stock market from frontier to emerging in the shortest time possible.
