Vietnam's Upcoming Stock Market Upgrade in 2026 to Attract $6 Billion in Investments
Vietnam's upcoming stock market upgrade in March 2026 is set to attract significant investment, making effective investor relations (IR) more crucial than ever. With 80% of market violations linked to information disclosure, improved IR practices are vital for the world market's growth and investor confidence.
Currently, some companies treat IR as a mere formality, hindering its development as a strategic tool. However, the landscape is shifting. A notable 67% of listed companies now meet the 'Information Disclosure Best Practices 2025' standard, reflecting a significant improvement in disclosure practices.
Effective IR requires transparency, consistent communication, understanding investor expectations, and effective crisis management. It serves as a bridge, communicating business strategies and financial health to investors, thereby supporting capital-raising efforts. An upgrade announcement could attract an initial $1 billion inflow from ETFs, followed by $5-6 billion from active funds.
Support from company leadership is key to successful IR practices. The regulation defining trade secrets for information disclosure, issued in 2025, has provided a solid foundation for enhanced transparency. As Vietnam's market status is set to be upgraded by FTSE Russell from 'frontier' to 'secondary emerging', IR should be better enforced to ensure the market's continued growth and investor confidence.
With the stock market upgrade approaching, companies must prioritize effective IR to attract and retain investors. Improved IR practices, driven by strong leadership support and robust disclosure standards, will be crucial for Vietnam's stock market to thrive in its new status.
