VIFC EXPANDS OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT VIETNAMESE BUSINESSES WITH GLOBAL CAPITAL

The Viet Nam International Financial Center in Ho Chi Minh City (VIFC-HCMC) is expected to become a strategic gateway. It will help Vietnamese companies connect with international investors, diversify their funding sources, and access more advanced financial services.

Beyond channeling capital, the Viet Nam International Financial Center aims to build a comprehensive financial ecosystem. This network will bring together commercial banks, investment funds, insurance companies, legal advisors, auditing firms, credit rating agencies, and payment service providers. Such an ecosystem can support enterprises at every stage—from deal structuring and due diligence to post-investment risk management.

From the viewpoint of foreign investors, a transparent legal framework, efficient cross-border transaction processing, and a pipeline of high-quality, bankable projects are essential to building long-term confidence in the center.

Mr. Bui Quang Duy, Global Deputy Head of Investments for Climate Finance at responsAbility Investments AG, noted: "International investors will closely watch how well the VIFC can generate and support real, practical investment deals."

In addition, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Son Quynh, Head of Strategy at MEXC Ventures Vietnam, shared that Vietnam's young workforce and rapidly growing innovation ecosystem will continue to attract global venture capital.

For exporters, tech startups, and developers of infrastructure or renewable energy projects, the VIFC opens up direct access to tailored international funding and financial instruments suited to their growth needs.

In the long run, the true value of the VIFC will lie in its ability to effectively channel global capital into real investment opportunities in Vietnam, helping domestic businesses integrate deeper into international financial markets.
