On 10 November 2026, during a working trip to Japan, Minister of Finance Ngo Van Tuan received and worked with leaders of Daiwa Securities Group. The talks focused on developing the capital market, attracting long-term investment and strengthening links between the two countries' financial markets, building on the Vietnam – Japan Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
Growing need for medium- and long-term capital
The minister said Vietnam targets double-digit economic growth in 2026 – 2030 and aims to become a developed, high-income country by 2045. To reach these goals, Vietnam is restructuring its economy, renewing its growth model and integrating more deeply into international financial markets. According to Bnews, he stressed that demand for medium- and long-term development capital is rising.
That context matters for the stock market: since bank credit cannot carry all long-term funding needs, equity and bond markets must play a bigger role, and international financial groups such as Daiwa can act as bridges for institutional capital into Vietnam.
Specific requests to Daiwa
The minister thanked Daiwa for supporting the Ministry of Finance through information sharing, investment promotion and training programmes that helped build the professional capacity of ministry staff. Going forward, he asked Daiwa to:
- Help attract long-term, high-quality capital into Vietnam;
- Share international experience in modernising capital markets and improving market governance;
- Continue technical assistance and training, and help diversify international fundraising channels.
Japanese investors eye infrastructure, energy and the digital economy
Daiwa said its global institutional clients view positively Vietnam's growth potential and macroeconomic stability, especially in infrastructure, energy transition, green growth and the digital economy. The group pledged to keep supporting market development and to connect Japanese and international investors with Vietnam, including through training and technical support.
The sectors Daiwa highlighted match Vietnam's major investment priorities, raising hopes for new funding channels such as green bonds, infrastructure funds or equity capital for energy and technology companies as the legal framework continues to improve.
