On January 4, the GBA delegation, including Chairman Alexander Ziehe, Vice Chairwoman Minh Nguyen, Board Member Viet Le, Executive Director Quynh Anh, and GBA Corporate Partners, together with AHK Vietnam, had the honor of attending a significant conference chaired by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh in Ho Chi Minh City.
This event marked the official announcement of the Government’s action plan to establish Regional and International Financial Centers in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, following the Politburo’s directives. Led by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, the inter-agency steering committee comprises key leaders from Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and various ministries.
PM Chinh said that building the international financial centers will help Vietnam connect to the global financial market; attract foreign financial institutions; create new resources and promote existing ones; take advantage of opportunities to shift international investment capital flows for socio-economic development; promote the development of Vietnam’s financial market effectively, according to international standards; and create new motivation, leading to a breakthrough in development.
He directed the Ministry of Planning and Investment, along with other ministries and agencies, to rigorously implement the Government’s Action Plan and develop policies and institutions to support these centers. He called for continued collaboration from domestic and international partners to provide expertise, attract resources, and connect with major investors.
With strong government commitment and international cooperation, Vietnam is poised to become a global financial hub, contributing to regional and global prosperity.
