As of November 30, the total capitalization of the Vietnamese stock market reached 390.25 billion USD, equivalent to 81.93% of GDP in 2024. The HOSE floor alone achieved a listed stock capitalization value of 310.25 billion USD, equivalent to 65.14% of GDP in 2024, accounting for 94.41% of the total listed stock capitalization value of the entire market. Currently, HOSE has 50 listed companies with a capitalization of more than 1 billion USD, of which 3 companies have a capitalization of over 10 billion USD.
