Vietnam’s recent regulatory reforms, aimed at aligning with international standards in reporting, accounting, and market infrastructure, are designed to enhance transparency, attract foreign investment, and elevate the market from frontier to emerging status.

Việt Nam’s stock market experienced a turbulent week as heavy selling pressure, particularly in the final sessions, drove indices lower.

Following a recent decline in line with the broader market correction, seaport and shipping stocks are rebounding thanks to a positive industry outlook and rising shipping rates.

The stock market saw a significant decline on Thursday, with the VN-Index approaching the 1,230-point mark as foreign investors continued strong net selling.

The stock market edged up slightly on Wednesday, ending a four-day losing streak for the VN-Index, though foreign investors continued net-selling.

The stock market continued its decline on Tuesday, marking the VN-Index's fourth consecutive losing session, while foreign investors extended their selling streak.

Foreign institutional investors can now buy shares without pre-funding, boosting Vietnam’s appeal to foreign investors and supporting potential market upgrades.

The stock market opened the new week with a slight decline, marking the VN-Index's third consecutive session in the red, while liquidity reached its highest level in five weeks.
