On June 14-15-16, Ho Chi Minh City Securities Corporation (HSC) successfully organized the Emerging Vietnam 2023 investment conference at Le Meridien Saigon hotel. This is the 9th annual consecutive event organized by HSC with the aim of bridging the gap between leading Vietnamese businesses and the international investment community.

Mr. Trinh Hoai Giang - CEO of HSC delivered the opening speech of Emerging Vietnam 2023

Emerging Vietnam 2023 attracted the participation of 40 corporates and more than 500 investors from different countries and territories, including Vietnam, the United States, Hong Kong, South Korea, and several European Union countries. The event brought together a team of top-notch speakers and experts, featuring 18 presentations and panel discussions on various sectors of the economy, creating a diverse and enriching forum.

The event’s theme this year was "Navigating climate change in the capital market," focusing on discussing the disruptive changes in the financial markets, from influx of cheap money to liquidity dry-ups as the result of hiking interest rates, from inflations heating up to recession looming large. These fluctuations were no different than nature’s floodings, droughts, or rising temperatures, brought about by climate change. Speakers and experts exchanged views on adapting to and guiding the financial market in this context.

In 2022, Vietnam's capital market has faced significant uncertainties, which exposed weaknesses and pre-existing gaps, however, HSC and experts maintained an optimistic outlook and believed that the worst was behind us, and the market would continue to grow.
