Vietnam’s stock and bond markets vastly outperformed peer countries in the region in the past five years, reflecting a low cost of fund for the government and corporations alike.

EuroCham would like to kick off the New Year with this unique event with our special guest speakers who willl share thoughts on challenges and solutions to financial deepening agenda in Vietnam, such as:

· It is timely as Vietnam graduated to a full IBRD country and must rely more on market-based financing. Will the remarkable market performance sustain? Is the low cost of fund permanent? What are the potential risks and opportunities?

· Equitization of SOE in 2018, has it been faster than in the past? What are hurdles for slow equitization? How can Viet Nam attract more high quality foreign indirect investment into domestic capital market? Is issuing corporate bond in foreign market possible for Vietnamese enterprises. Vinamilk has talked about this for long but has not been able to do? What are obstacles for issuing overseas?
