Delegates touch the button to inaugurate the Vietnam International Financial Center in Da Nang City, January 9, 2026.

In his address, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh said the development of an international financial center is a strategic choice that enables Vietnam to proactively engage with the global economy and seize opportunities arising from the restructuring of global capital flows.

He noted that operating such a center is new, complex, and unprecedented for Vietnam, requiring a governance mindset that is “accompanying and enabling,” with regulations regularly reviewed, updated, and refined.
