16. Vietnam: Divest from the peers
• Policies change: New Securities law 2021-> easier for FOL apply, Covered warrant, ETF, Futures
• Upgrade to Emerging market: (1) 2021 or (2) 2022 -> foreign Inflow and Valuation rerate
• New products: CW, Vndiamond, VN Fin lead, Vnfin select, VN600/100
• The IPO process : many big SOE waiting for the IPO (Agribank, VNPT, Mobifone, Genco 1,
Genco 2, Satra, HUD, Vicem, Hanoi Tourist). Divestment : slower in 2020, and several fail deal
(DRC, SFG,…)
• Listing: All the remained OTC Banks
• Supporting policies (due to CoronaVirus)
• Merge HSX, HNX: When? -> Valuation rerate for large cap in HNX, Upcom
Global factors:
• Recession: Longest expansion ever?
• China: Economy slowing down, huge leverage and trade war tension
