Therefore, buy/sell transactions that occurred on February 25th have not yet been allocated to customers' securities accounts.
Similarly, KAFI Securities Company announced that VSDC experienced a connection disruption with its custodian members on the morning of February 27th. This incident affected services such as account opening, deposit and withdrawal, and clearing and settlement processes may be slower than expected.
According to the latest update, the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange and VSDC have urgently coordinated with the contractor to rectify the issue; and have also notified members so that investors can sell the securities they purchased on February 25th.
By 2:40 PM, the system had been fixed by the contractor, and securities were allocated to investors. Investors were able to sell their securities during the afternoon session on February 27th.
