Quick update: Vietnam officially launches the International Financial Center – December 2025:

On the morning of December 21, at the Government Headquarters, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired the conference announcing the establishment of the International Financial Center in Vietnam, underscoring the Government’s strong commitment to deeper global integration and the development of the national financial market.

The plan to establish an international financial center in Vietnam is a strategic, ambitious, and groundbreaking initiative, opening up significant prospects for the country to gradually realize its role as a connector and to participate more deeply in the global financial network. Although this idea has been studied, prepared, and shaped over a long period of time, the implementation process in recent years has proceeded at a relatively rapid pace, giving rise to numerous challenges related to institutions, policies, and implementation capacity. This situation requires the adoption of specific, flexible, and coordinated mechanisms to address existing bottlenecks, thereby ensuring the feasibility and effectiveness of the plan in practice.
