Next year, the State Securities Commission (SSC) will continue to direct relevant units to review and fine-tune legal regulations, enhance management and supervision, and strictly deal with any violations to support the sustainable development of the bond market.
The SSC assigned the HNX to continue working with relevant authorities to monitor the reporting obligations and disclosure of information by issuers in the corporate bond market in line with regulations.
The HNX was also tasked with organising and operating the bond market, in line with domestic regulations and international practices, thus improving liquidity and market organisation.
