In a resolution passed on June 27, 2025, the National Assembly, Vietnam's legislature, requested the development of capital market mobilization channels. Specifically, all preparations must be completed in 2025 to get the market status upgraded.

Upgrading the market status is a key priority assigned by the Government to the Ministry of Finance. Under the ministry’s direction, the State Securities Commission (SSC) and relevant agencies have actively worked to improve the legal framework, upgrade technological infrastructure, and improve market operation conditions to meet the stringent standards set by international rating organizations.

Alongside efforts to upgrade the market status, improving investor awareness is a critical focus of regulators to foster the sustainable development of Vietnam’s stock market.

Under the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 1726/QĐ-TTg dated December 29, 2023, which approved the Stock Market Development Strategy until 2030, the Government requests diversifying the investor base and improving the quality of investment demand to ensure sustainability.

This includes enhancing the capabilities of individual investors through training and financial education. A comprehensive investor training strategy is to be developed, identifying objectives, target groups, and phased implementation according to market development stages.

The seminar will gather representatives from government agencies; economic experts; leaders of commercial banks, securities firms, investment funds, international organizations, and academic institutions; as well as domestic and foreign investors and enterprises.
