Hanoi (VNA) – Hanoi will host the third ASEAN Broker Networking event in October, which is expected to lure investment to the country’s stock market.

The event is under the framework of the 25th Conference of CEOs of ASEAN Stock Exchanges, slated to be held in the city from October 6-10.

The event is expected to create a broader network of ASEAN stock markets and boost investment cooperation. More than 71 pairs of companies have registered for bilateral meetings to discuss cooperation at the event.

The ASEAN Broker Networking event is an initiative under collaboration between trading floors in the region. It is organised alternately among the bloc’s country members to share experience and boost business and investment cooperation.

First held in Thailand in 2011with 62 securities companies participating, the number rose to 116 last year at the event in Bali, Indonesia, including six companies from Vietnam.
