Vietnam plans to launch stock index options in the first quarter of next year. After the country's stock market rating was raised, it is hoped to use this to deepen the capital market and attract more overseas investors. Wu Shi Qiu'e, general manager of the Hanoi Stock Exchange, said in an interview that contracts linked to the VN30 index will be tested in November and December. The index consists of the 30 stocks with the largest market capitalization on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange. FTSE Russell transferred Vietnam from a frontier market to a secondary emerging market last month. The derivatives launch aims to attract more foreign investment into the Vietnamese stock market. This market classification adjustment will be implemented step by step. Vietnam is expected to be officially included in the FTSE Emerging Markets Index by 2027, which is expected to broaden access channels for global emerging market capital.
