Speaking at the conference, SSC Chairwoman Vu Thi Chan Phuong said that, in line with the Party and Government's policy of developing the capital market into a key pillar of the national financial system, the Ministry of Finance and the SSC have implemented a wide range of coordinated measures to improve the legal framework, streamline administrative procedures, modernize market infrastructure, and strengthen supervision of the securities market. As a result, Vietnam's securities market has maintained positive growth and continues to reinforce its role as an important channel for mobilizing medium- and long-term capital for businesses and the economy.

"Our consistent objective is to build a modern, transparent, and stable legal framework that facilitates corporate capital raising while improving the quality of market offerings, strengthening market discipline, and reinforcing investor confidence in the securities market," Vu Thi Chan Phuong emphasized.

A major milestone was the Government's issuance of Decree No. 245/2025/ND-CP, which amends and supplements several provisions of Decree No. 155 guiding the implementation of the Law on Securities. Regarding the corporate bond market, the Government has also issued Decree No. 200/2026/ND-CP, which governs the offering and trading of privately placed corporate bonds in the domestic market as well as the issuance of corporate bonds in international markets.

During the conference, SSC representatives introduced the key provisions of the new legal regulations on securities offerings and issuance. A dedicated session on Decree No. 200/2026/ND-CP provided businesses with a detailed overview of the new requirements for preparing issuance plans, conducting private corporate bond offerings, and effectively managing and utilizing the capital raised after issuance.

Representatives of the Hanoi Stock Exchange also presented an important session on the information and data-sharing mechanism between the Exchange's corporate bond information portal and provincial People's Committees, as well as the State Securities Commission of Vietnam.

The conference also devoted significant time to gathering feedback from the business community and discussing solutions to improve the legal framework and strengthen coordination between regulators and market participants.
