Addressing the event, Finance Minister Nguyen Van Thang said that despite the challenges of 2025, Vietnam’s stock market kept operating stably, safely, transparently, and with high liquidity.

As of early December 2025, VN-Index had increased nearly 38% against the previous year. The market capitalization of stocks went up 35%, and the number of investor accounts exceeded 11.6 million, achieving the goals set in the Stock Market Development Strategy until 2030.

Vu Thi Chan Phuong, Chairwoman of the State Securities Commission of Vietnam, said that 2026 is a special year as it marks the 30th founding anniversary of Vietnam’s securities sector.

“We are well aware that our top priority is not only to maintain growth momentum, but to ensure the market operates in a safe, transparent and stable manner, with strong resilience and adaptability as Vietnam integrates fully into global financial markets,” said Phuong.

The State Securities Commission is focusing on fully implementing comprehensive, strategic solutions to improve the quality and sustainability of Vietnam’s stock market this year and beyond.
