KPHO: Vietnam’s Emerging Market Upgrade & Key Equity Market Drivers For Asia’s Latest “Dragon” Tuesday, January 13, 2026 10:00 am - 11:00 am EDT
Vietnam has been garnering attention lately among global investors. The Southeast Asian nation increased gross domestic product (GDP) by 8.2% in the July-September period from the same period in 2024, and, according to Bloomberg analysts, is on track to be one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia in 2025.1 Meanwhile, citing positive results from the implementation of key market reforms, global index provider FTSE Russell announced on October 7th, 2025, that Vietnam would be reclassified from a Frontier Market to an Emerging Market in September of 2026, which could lead to significant foreign inflows.2
