Strengthening international cooperation to advance Viet Nam’s stock market development

Expanding strategic partnerships

The SCC has maintained close collaboration with international organisations such as the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), the World Bank (WB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the French Development Agency (AFD), and various regional securities regulators.

Through dialogue mechanisms, technical workshops, and bilateral technical assistance programmes, the Commission has gained essential resources to update international standards and enhance supervisory capacity, risk management, and market transparency.

On November 11, 2025 in Melbourne, Australia, SCC Chairwoman Vu Thi Chan Phuong met with Joseph Longo, Chairman of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC).

The meeting formed part of the SCC’s working visit to Australia from November 10 to 14 to attend ASIC’s 2025 Annual Forum, Australia in a Dynamic World. The forum focused on the future of capital markets, digital technology, regulatory streamlining, and ASIC’s enforcement priorities.

Recent cooperation activities have delivered tangible benefits for the development of Viet Nam’s stock market.

Advancing market standards and sustainable finance

In 2025, numerous international delegations worked with the SCC on key topics such as developing a green capital market, supervising Fintech activities, enhancing trading system safety, establishing sustainability reporting standards, and promoting global best practices in corporate governance. These cooperation programmes are highly valued for their depth and alignment with market‑upgrade objectives and broader integration requirements.

Within regional frameworks, the SCC continues to exchange information with ASEAN securities regulators, participate in joint initiatives on market connectivity, promote new financial products, and strengthen cross‑border supervisory standards.

The Commission also plays an active role in IOSCO working groups, contributing insights and updates on international standards to improve market transparency and resilience.

Strengthening digital transformation and global engagement

Cooperation on digital transformation and IT security has also intensified. The SCC works with international partners to research technological applications in transaction monitoring, data security, and system risk management, supporting stock exchanges and depositories in adopting solutions consistent with global trends.

External engagement activities have created additional opportunities to showcase Viet Nam’s stock market potential to foreign investment funds and financial institutions.

The SCC’s participation in international conferences and seminars has reaffirmed Viet Nam’s commitment to investor protection, market‑infrastructure enhancement, improved corporate‑governance standards, and sustainable development.

Through its extensive international cooperation efforts, the State Securities Commission continues to demonstrate its determination to pursue comprehensive integration, affirming its role as a proactive, transparent, and professional regulatory authority.

These efforts form a crucial foundation for strengthening management capacity and supporting the safe, synchronised, and modern development of the stock market, contributing to market‑upgrade goals and meeting socio‑economic development requirements in the new phase.
