Vietnam Debt Capital Market Forum 2025:
Financing the Private Sector for a New Era of Growth
Building on the success of the Vietnam Debt Capital Market Forum 2024, FiinRatings – A Strategic Partner
of S&P Global – is pleased to co-host the upcoming event in collaboration with the Credit Guarantee and
Investment Facility (CGIF), a trust fund of the Asian Development Bank (ADB): “Vietnam Debt Capital Market Forum 2025:
Financing the Private Sector for a New Era of Growth”.
As Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW positions the private sector as a key driver of economic growth,
the expansion of medium- and long-term funding channels beyond the banking system is now recognized
as a strategic imperative. New regulations on credit ratings, private placements, and information transparency
are gradually shaping a more standardized and sustainable capital market.
Vietnam Capital Market Forum 2025 is a high-level platform gathering policymakers, investors, issuers,
and both domestic and international experts to exchange insights and co-develop solutions for advancing
Vietnam’s debt capital market in a more sound, efficient, and sustainable manner. The event also aims to
strengthen the financial capacity and resilience of Vietnamese enterprises, contributing to the realization
of Vietnam’s economic growth objectives in this new era of growth.
Time: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM ICT, Friday, August 22, 2025
Venue: Sofitel Saigon Plaza Hotel, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
