The Vietnam State Securities Commission (SSC) held a conference in Hanoi to brief market participants on amendments to the Securities Law and the detailed implementing instruments, as part of its 2025 legal dissemination plan. The SSC framed the Securities Law amendments under Law No. 56/2024/QH15 around three areas: improving transparency and efficiency in securities issuance and public offerings, strengthening supervision and the handling of fraud and misconduct while clarifying responsibilities of relevant organisations and individuals, and removing practical bottlenecks through administrative procedure reforms to support market development and upgrading. The briefing also covered key implementing measures, including Ministry of Finance Circular 19/2025/TT-BTC on public company registration and loss of public company status and reporting audited paid-in charter capital, and Decree 245/2025/ND-CP amending Decree 155/2020/ND-CP, alongside updates on market organisation and securities trade clearing and settlement. More than 500 representatives from public companies, listed companies, securities firms, fund managers, depository member banks, audit firms and other stakeholders attended. The SSC plans to hold follow-up briefings in Vietnam’s central and southern regions to widen outreach on the new rules.
