Speaking at the event, Deputy General Director of the Bank for Investment and Development of Vietnam (BIDV) Tran Phuong said the derivative market is an important measure to create qualitative changes for the securities market after a long time of quantitative development.

Vietnam ’s securities market currently has only two products: shares and bonds but lacks financial tools to prevent risks and derivatives based on non-stock assets.
He also stressed the necessity of legal frameworks and management mechanisms for the market.

To prepare for the launch of the market late next year, the Vietnam Securities Depository (VSD) noted that market players should focus on building a derivative payment system compatible with the VSD’s and training human resources.
