Vietnamese Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn met FTSE Russell CEO Fiona Bassett on September 18, ahead of Vietnamese equities entering FTSE’s global index series on September 21, 2026. They discussed maintaining secondary emerging-market status and improving access.
FTSE proposed two phases: developing index products, then risk-management tools. Bassett also suggested studying liquidity for overseas-listed derivatives based on the FTSE Vietnam index; the proposal still requires legal review and coordination.
