The HCM Stock Exchange became operational in 2000 with two listed firms and to date the number has grown to 309. In its 16th operational year, daily trading value has reached almost 2.4 trillion VND (105 million USD) and its market capitalisation represents 28 percent of the country’s GDP.
More than 253,000 billion VND were raised through auctions of State-owned enterprises that sell shares to become joint stock companies and new share issues.
The exchange is expected to complete all necessary conditions in 2017 to put the covered warrant product into play, which is already in use in 42 out of 56 members of the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), to which HOSE is a member, says the exchange’s chairman Tran Dac Sinh.-VNA
