Vietnam's stock market is very vibrant, green investment opportunities are of interest

The listed enterprise conference and the 2025 Listed Enterprise Awards ceremony took place today (December 3).

Ms. Vu Thi Chan Phuong - Chairwoman of the State Securities Commission (SSC) - said that to promote green transformation, the Ministry of Finance has issued and implemented the Green Classification List. The SSC, in coordination with other units, has also issued a Handbook on implementing and disclosing ESG information to promote sustainable development standards in Vietnam.

According to Ms. Phuong, domestic and international investors are paying great attention to green investment opportunities in Vietnam, especially when ESG is increasingly becoming an important criterion for assessing risks before investing. Therefore, good corporate governance, transparent information disclosure, sustainable development, and upgraded ESG reporting will impact the ability to attract capital, expand markets, and enhance the competitive advantage of businesses themselves.

However, the implementation of sustainable development solutions in Vietnam is still in its early stages. The Chairman of the State Securities Commission said that efforts from many sides, especially internal strength and actions of enterprises, are needed to change the mindset of corporate governance and promote sustainable development.

Commenting on the Vietnamese stock market, Ms. Phuong said that up to now, it has been very vibrant and has the highest growth rate in the region. The VN-Index has surpassed its historical peak; market liquidity has grown and reached a new record, with transaction value reaching over VND80,000 billion per session at one point.

This year, the stock market also recorded many significant milestones such as the operation of the KRX system, meeting the criteria for upgrading to emerging by FTSE Russell... In addition, the business situation of enterprises has also improved significantly. Many enterprises proactively prepared sustainable development reports, increased information transparency, disclosed information in English, and applied ESG standards.

With the target of GDP growth of 10% or more in 2026 and the coming period, the Chairman of the State Securities Commission believes that the stock market will continue to affirm itself as an important medium and long-term capital mobilization channel, mainly for the economy .

In the coming time, the State Securities Commission will focus on four groups of solutions, such as perfecting the legal framework towards transparency, efficiency and conformity with international practices; effectively implementing major projects, plans and programs directed by the Government and the Ministry of Finance; promoting digital transformation in management and supervision; reforming administrative procedures, creating favorable conditions for businesses to mobilize capital.

Meanwhile, Mr. Dominic - Founder and Executive Chairman of Dragon Capital - said that the profits of listed enterprises have grown positively in the first 9 months of the year, creating a favorable foundation for the overall development of the stock market. However, he assessed that the role of the capital market through the bond channel is still quite modest compared to its potential.

According to him, listed companies need to proactively develop plans to mobilize capital through bonds, because this channel has a lot of room for growth in the coming time. Besides, capital mobilization through stock issuance also has many prospects, especially until 2030.
