The Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that Ho Chi Minh City is a major economic center of the country; previously, a financial center had already been established and ranked in the city. Recently, the National Assembly passed a Resolution on the International Financial Center in Vietnam, effective from September 1, 2025. The current issue is to urgently complete the legal infrastructure to implement the National Assembly's Resolution, including the Decrees to deploy, build, and operate the International Financial Center in Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. The goal is to complete and sign these Decrees before December 15, 2025.
The Deputy Prime Minister requested Ho Chi Minh City to prepare the necessary conditions, especially in terms of facilities, technical infrastructure, and human resources, to be ready for the opening and operation of the Vietnam International Finance Center in Ho Chi Minh City.
Reporting at the meeting, Mr. Truong Minh Huy Vu, Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Institute for Development Studies (HIDS), stated that preparations are underway to inaugurate the Center on December 19th. Accordingly, the headquarters for international trade facilitation agencies such as the executive and supervisory bodies have been prepared, divided into three phases.
Phase 1: The headquarters will be located on the 6th floor of the building at 123 Truong Dinh Street. Phase 2: The headquarters will be located in the building at 8 Nguyen Hue Street, which is currently undergoing renovation and is expected to be completed before the Lunar New Year 2026. Phase 3: Construction of the completed International Trade Center in the Thu Thiem area.
Regarding technical infrastructure and data, Mr. Vu said that departments and agencies are reviewing the entire system, including the city's digital infrastructure and data center system.
Regarding investors, there are currently about 50 investors and organizations interested in Vietnam's international financial center in Ho Chi Minh City, comprising four groups: infrastructure, finance, technology, and digital services.
During the recent Autumn Economic Forum 2025, Ho Chi Minh City officially contacted 20 investors and identified 10 partners ready to collaborate and become founding members of the Vietnam International Finance Center in Ho Chi Minh City. It is expected that these 10 investors will sign agreements to participate upon the Center's launch.
