Both sides agreed to foster comprehensive collaboration to better connect Viet Nam’s financial market with the global ecosystem.
At the working session, Phuong highlighted Bloomberg’s extensive global scale and network, and expressed his high expectations that two sides will expand partnership across multiple domains, particularly in advancing Viet Nam's financial market infrastructure.
Phuong emphasised that Viet Nam is pressing ahead with the development of the International Financial Centre in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. While the regulatory framework and organisational structure are gradually taking shape, their successful operation requires high-quality human resources, financial technology (fintech) capabilities, and direct integration into global capital markets. The centre is envisioned as an international gateway facilitating two-way capital flows between Viet Nam and the world.
Regarding APEC 2027, which Viet Nam will host, Phuong noted that the Ministry of Finance will lead several key events, including deputy-ministerial and ministerial meetings, as well as specialised capital market discussions. He invited Bloomberg to partner with the ministry by sharing international expertise, offering media support, and promoting Viet Nam's initiatives to the global financial community.
Furthermore, the ministry is currently drafting a master scheme for the development of Viet Nam's financial market. Phuong welcomed Bloomberg’s technical insights during the drafting process and reaffirmed the ministry's readiness to cooperate in linking foreign investors with the domestic market.
For his part, Bing noted that 2026 marks 30 years of Bloomberg’s presence in Viet Nam. He affirmed the group’s commitment to long-term collaboration across frontier sectors such as fintech, artificial intelligence, education, and financial community development.
On APEC 2027, Bing Li said Bloomberg stands ready to mobilise its full range of resources to support Viet Nam, from media coverage and technological capabilities to sharing international expertise and connecting the country with the global investment community.
Bloomberg looks forward to a long-term partnership with Viet Nam in pioneering fields like fintech, AI, education, and financial market ecosystem building, he said.
