In the financial and securities market, Singaporean investors are also increasingly playing a key role, through indirect investment (FII) flows.
According to data from the Vietnam Securities Depository (VSD), the Vietnamese stock market has reached a total of more than 10.07 million accounts opened since its establishment, most of which belong to domestic individuals, equivalent to more than 10% of the population.
