KBSV specialists believe that if Vietnam is classified by FTSE Russell as a secondary emerging market, it may gain 0.7-1% in the FTSE Emerging Index basket, which could attract between 800 million and 1 billion USD in new investments from ETF funds.

After nearly 10 years of starting the stock market upgrade process, Vietnam is now in the final stages of meeting the remaining criteria to be upgraded from a frontier market to a new emerging market.

KBSV expects the earliest roadmap for Vietnam's stock market to be announced upgrade in September this year, and officially upgraded by FTSE Russell in the September 2025 review period.
