Vietnam is optimistic about being upgraded to 'emerging market' status by FTSE Russell, which would herald billions in new investments, according to Finance Minister Nguyen Van Thang.
The Vietnamese stock market has faced significant outflows, with $920 million leaving so far this year. Despite this, the reclassification move is under review and an announcement is expected next month.
With strong backing from financial institutions and the potential to attract $2 billion to $5 billion within a year, experts also highlight the need to address restrictive foreign ownership limits for further advancement.
