The Vietnam State Securities Commission reported that finalists in the 2026 Vietnam ESG Challenge participated in practical training at the Hanoi Stock Exchange and Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange on Sept. 11. The visits form part of a September program designed to connect the competition’s focus on sustainable corporate governance with the operations of Vietnam’s securities market. Northern teams visited the Hanoi Stock Exchange and attended a session led by CRIF, while southern teams visited the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange with a speaker from Dragon Capital. Further training will precede the finals, which are scheduled for Sept. 20 in Ho Chi Minh City for 10 southern teams and Sept. 22 in Hanoi for nine teams from Hanoi and Da Nang.
