Ho Chi Minh City (VNA) – The Vietnam International Financial Centre (VIFC) on August 17 unveiled an online system for registering and recognising members for 2026-2027, marking a step toward digitalising administrative procedures and improving services for investors and businesses.

The system was jointly launched by the VIFC executive agencies in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang city.

​Integrated into the official VIFC portal at vifc.gov.vn, the system provides a unified online service channel through which investors, organisations and businesses can complete procedures related to membership, from new registration and recognition to information updates and termination of membership.

Under the one-stop digital service model, businesses can submit applications and track their processing status anytime and anywhere, helping reduce operational costs and travel time. The appraisal process is made transparent, with clear processing timelines to enhance predictability for investors considering VIFC as a base for their operations.

At the launch ceremony, VIFC also announced a decision issued by the executive agencies in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, promulgating standardised procedures and forms.

The framework specifies registration conditions, required documents, appraisal criteria and processing deadlines for each procedure related to VIFC membership, providing a unified basis for implementation.

The system operationalises provisions under VIFC’s operating regulations, based on the National Assembly’s Resolution No. 222/2025/QH15 dated June 27, 2025, and the Government’s Decree No.324/2025/ND-CP dated December 18, 2025.

Initially, the online registration procedures and forms will apply to organisations and businesses operating in sectors outside finance and banking. Organisations engaged in specialised financial and banking activities will continue to follow separate licensing mechanisms stipulated in VIFC’s operating regulations.

According to Nguyen Hong Van, Vice Chairman of the VIFC Executive Authority in Ho Chi Minh City, the electronic membership registration and recognition system is among the first priorities in the centre’s operation and digital transformation.

The system is designed to reduce processing time and costs for investors while ensuring transparency and openness in application processing, he said./.

Multi-channel capital mobilisation needed to achieve double-digit growth

The Ministry of Finance estimates development investment for 2026-2030 at a minimum of 38.5 quadrillion VND (1.48 trillion USD), or about 40% of GDP. The state budget is expected to provide only about 20%, or more than 7.7 quadrillion VND, leaving over 80%, or more than 30 quadrillion VND, to be raised from the broader economy. That makes expanding capital mobilisation channels beyond bank credit essential.
