On the afternoon of August 21, 2023, Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE) held a meeting with securities companies on the implementation of the KRX technology project in securities trading activities.
Previously, a representative of the State Securities Commission shared that the new KRX trading system will be operational in July. This is an information technology system for managing and operating transactions on the Vietnamese stock market signed by HoSE and the Korea Stock Exchange (KRX) in 2012 to upgrade the technology system and infrastructure of the stock exchange in Vietnam.
