Reforms to trading infrastructure, operational mechanisms and the legal framework are helping Viet Nam’s capital market move closer to international standards. According to UBS Bank, the reform process is progressing in a substantive and measurable manner, reinforcing investor confidence in the market’s upgrade prospects in the near future.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang received Krishna Srinivasan, Director of the Asia and Pacific Department at the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in Ha Noi on June 8.

With the growth scenario that Viet Nam is determined to pursue, capital demand for development in the coming period is set to rise sharply, with the ratio of public investment to GDP in the 2026–2030 period expected to increase to at least 8% of GDP.
