The forum featured remarks from Mr. Hoàng Văn Thu – Vice Chairman of the SSC – who directly oversees the implementation of amendments to the Securities Law and related sub-law documents, providing timely updates to enterprises and investors on critical changes in the regulatory framework.
Mr. Phan Lê Thành Long – VIOD Board Member and CEO – presented on Corporate Governance trends for 2025, based on the latest results of the 2024 ASEAN Corporate Governance Scorecard (ACGS). He also outlined upcoming changes to the CG evaluation criteria of the Vietnam Listed Company Awards (VLCA) 2025, and offered practical recommendations for applying good governance practices, drawing on the VNCG50 Scorecard initiative.
