Vietnam\u2019s stock market has grown in size and influence, yet remains a \u201cfrontier market\u201d alongside much smaller economies. The question is: Has the time come for Vietnam to be recognized for its true potential?\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At Directors Talk #23 on August 13, hosted by VIOD, Ms. Nguyen Hoai Thu \u2013 Managing Director, VinaCapital \u2013 affirmed: \u201cThere is no reason why Vietnam\u2019s stock market should remain in the frontier basket with small markets\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vietnam\u2019s case is backed by stable macro fundamentals, strong GDP growth, controlled inflation, and rising foreign inflows. A young population, expanding demand, resilient exports, and upgrades in infrastructure (such as KRX) and legal frameworks further bolster the outlook.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yet, an upgrade is not the end goal. Without lasting reforms, the risk of reversal is real. Companies must enhance governance, transparency, and shareholder protection, while the market ensures fairness, curbs manipulation, and builds trust.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vietnam stands at a turning point. Reclassification would be a major boost, but sustaining it requires joint effort from businesses, investors, and regulators to turn this opportunity into lasting global positioning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
