The Vietnam State Securities Commission said Vietnam’s domestic carbon exchange is ready to begin operations, with the legal framework, operating rules, trading products, information technology and payment arrangements largely completed in line with the approved roadmap. The Ministry of Finance, working with the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and other relevant bodies, is scheduled to hold the launch ceremony on 29 June 2026. Supporting work has covered both market rules and market infrastructure. The Ministry of Finance has issued guidance on trading supervision and reporting for the stock exchange and Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation, while the commission directed the Vietnam Stock Exchange, Hanoi Stock Exchange and Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation to develop and issue the operating rules needed for the platform. On the supply side, the prime minister approved the total pilot greenhouse gas emission quota for 2025 to 2026, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has allocated pilot emission quotas to 110 facilities and issued rules for the national registry for greenhouse gas emission quotas and carbon credits. The Climate Change Department, Vietnam Stock Exchange, Hanoi Stock Exchange and Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation have also agreed procedures for data exchange, reconciliation and incident handling. The Hanoi Stock Exchange trading system, the depository and settlement system at Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation, and the national registry have been completed, connected and tested across the market. Internal and market-wide tests in May and June 2026 showed stable connectivity and operational processes, and the commission has also completed the selection of the settlement bank for the exchange.
