(Dan Tri) - As of the end of August, the stock market had over 10.75 million accounts, an increase of more than 257,000 compared to the previous month, mainly due to new openings by individual investors.

According to statistics from the Vietnam Securities Depository (VSD), the market recorded 257,632 new trading accounts opened in August, bringing the total number of securities trading accounts in the market to more than 10.7 million accounts.

The number of newly opened individual securities accounts increased to a 6-month high in the context of the market continuously rising and breaking historical peaks. In August alone, the VN-Index increased by more than 187 points, equivalent to nearly 12%.

Last month, domestic individual investors opened 257,195 additional trading accounts, bringing the total number of trading accounts of this group of investors to more than 10.6 million accounts, accounting for 99.3% of the entire market.

The number of domestic institutional investor accounts also increased by 164 accounts during the month, reaching a total of 18,667 accounts.

In the group of foreign investors, the number of newly opened accounts by individuals increased by 249, while the number of foreign institutional investors increased by 24 accounts.

According to the Stock Market Development Strategy to 2030 approved at the end of 2023, Vietnam aims to reach 9 million investor securities trading accounts in the market by 2025 and 11 million accounts by 2030. However, the 2025 target was completed 2 months early.

In the next 5 years, the Vietnamese market only needs to have nearly 300,000 more accounts to exceed the 2030 target. With the current annual opening rate of millions of new accounts, this target is likely to be completed early this year.
