The Vietnam State Securities Commission, working with the Anti-Money Laundering Department of the State Bank of Vietnam, held a training conference for securities business organizations on reporting obligations and updated rules on anti-money laundering, terrorist financing and the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The session was aimed at updating firms on the legal framework, improving risk identification and reinforcing reporting responsibilities for securities companies and fund management companies. The event was linked to Vietnam's national action plans in these areas, including the 2026 to 2030 plan that will support preparation for the Asia-Pacific Group on Money Laundering's third mutual evaluation of Vietnam. In opening remarks, Vice Chair Le Thi Viet Nga said the commission had worked on legal reforms, including changes reflected in Decree 306/2025/ND-CP to align sanctions for violations in these areas with penalty rules in the financial and monetary sectors, and is studying additional sanction provisions for a draft decree on crypto assets and the crypto asset market. The agenda also included a State Bank presentation on the reporting regime and new anti-money laundering rules, followed by discussion of implementation issues raised by firms.
