Singapore Exchange (SGX) and Vietnam Exchange (VNX) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to build greater connectivity in capital and derivatives markets through a “broad range of initiatives”.
The move aims to foster investment flows and share best practices in regulatory and governance standards.
Signed in front of Vietnam’s Minister for Finance, Ho Duc Phoc, and Singapore’s Minister for Transport and Second Minister for Finance, Hong Tat Chee, the MoU marks a milestone as the first collaboration between the two entities focused on this initiative.
According to SGX Group, Vietnam “stands out as one of the fastest-growing markets in the region” and has “made significant strides” in developing its equity market and economy in recent years.
Commenting on the news, SGX Group CEO Boon Chye Loh says: “Increasingly, connectivity between markets and exchanges is becoming more important, especially in the financial world. Investors want ease of access while being able to invest with confidence.
“That’s why exchange collaboration is crucial to ensure a more connected and robust marketplace. By leveraging our combined strengths, we hope to facilitate increased market access and liquidity, enabling investors to capitalise on the growth opportunities in Vietnam.”
VNX chairman, Luong Hai Sinh, adds: “We are very pleased to work with Singapore Exchange to share knowledge and experience for bilateral development.
“Vietnam Exchange is committed to working with SGX Group to enhance transparency and efficiency and raise awareness of corporate governance of our capital markets in Vietnam.”
