Hanoi (VNA) – Vietnam is on track to reach 9 million stock trading accounts by 2025 and 11 million by 2030, CEO of Vietnam Report JSC Vu Dang Vinh has said.
As of the end of August, the Ministry of Finance reported over 8.6 million accounts in the market, an increase of 19.4% compared to the end of 2023.
Steady growth in the number of new investor accounts is a positive sign reflecting the attractiveness of the market, Vinh said. He noted that as the economy remains stable and requires robust capital flows, the stock market serves as an essential channel for capital transmission.

Rising final consumption index reflects improving demand and spending as well as increasing short-term borrowing for consumption.
