Vietnam is undergoing regulatory updates and legislative discussions aimed at modernizing its securities sector. Initially, the Ministry of Finance issued Circular 125/2026/TT-BTC to amend existing regulations, specifically refining service price mechanisms for the Vietnam Stock Exchange, its subsidiaries, and the Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation (VSDC). These updates included legal terminology refinements and changes to service price descriptions.

Following these administrative updates, the National Assembly began discussing broader amendments to the Securities Law. These proposed changes seek to support market upgrading by establishing frameworks for electronic transactions, integrating new technologies, and simplifying administrative procedures. A significant component of the discussion involves transitioning from pre-audit to post-audit mechanisms to ease market entry for businesses, contingent upon the implementation of robust oversight and inter-agency data sharing to ensure investor protection.
