The Vietnamese government has approved a comprehensive financial market reform plan extending to 2045, setting a specific target for foreign investment in the equity market.
Under the new framework, authorities aim for the value of assets held by foreign investors to reach approximately 15% of the country's gross domestic product by 2030.
This quantitative benchmark represents a significant escalation in Hanoi's efforts to attract overseas capital.
By tying foreign asset holdings to GDP, the government is establishing a clear metric for market depth and international integration.
The target implies a substantial increase in foreign participation, requiring both regulatory adjustments and sustained investor confidence to achieve.
The reform plan is part of a broader strategy to modernize Vietnam's financial sector.
