HANOI: Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange officially launched its new trading system on Monday (May 5), as the country pushes to unlock emerging market status and boost foreign investment.
The new system, known as KRX from Korea Exchange, is expected to shorten the settlement cycle and increase trading capacity, according to an earlier statement from the State Securities Commission.
