The State Bank of Vietnam reported that Governor Nguyen Thi Hong attended a Vietnam–Singapore business roundtable during Vietnamese General Secretary To Lam’s state visit to Singapore, focused on positioning Vietnam in the science and technology era and deepening financial cooperation. The roundtable brought together more than 100 Vietnamese and Singaporean companies across sectors including high technology, telecommunications, banking and finance, energy, aviation, construction and real estate, agribusiness processing, healthcare and workforce training. Singaporean businesses, economists and large financial institutions shared experience from Singapore’s development as an international financial centre, emphasising the role of technology, innovation and investment in high-tech industries and highlighting talent attraction and high-quality human capital as a prerequisite in the early stages of financial-centre development. They also stressed that Singapore’s rise to a global financial centre took decades and required sustained regulatory commitment and long-term efforts to build institutional and infrastructure foundations.
