October 8, 2025 - 04:41
Vietnam's stock market is set to transition from frontier to emerging market status, a significant upgrade that will take effect on September 21, 2026. This reclassification will see Vietnam joining the ranks of other prominent emerging markets such as China, India, and Indonesia, marking a pivotal moment for the country's economic landscape.
David Sol, the global head of policy at FTSE Russell, highlighted that this upgrade is a direct result of substantial improvements in market infrastructure within Vietnam. The move is expected to attract increased foreign investment and enhance the overall credibility of the Vietnamese market on the global stage.
As Vietnam continues to develop its financial systems and regulatory frameworks, this change is anticipated to bolster investor confidence and stimulate economic growth. The inclusion in FTSE Russell’s secondary emerging markets grouping underscores Vietnam's progress and potential as an increasingly important player in the global economy.
