HCM City (VNA) – Vietnam’s long-anticipated KRX trading system is finally set to go live on May 5, marking a breakthrough in market infrastructure and a major step toward modernising the country’s stock exchange operations.

The KRX system is currently in its final testing phase before full implementation. During this period, securities firms are conducting simulated trading sessions as if on a normal trading day. However, the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) has instructed market participants to refrain from testing unrealistic or unusual scenarios.

To ensure smooth adoption, HOSE has published comprehensive guidelines on new trading regulations that will take effect along with the system launch. These updates aim to help investors navigate the evolving market landscape with confidence.

Previously, Nguyen Viet Ha, Acting Chairwoman of HOSE, emphasised that deploying the new IT system in 2025 remains a top priority. The initiative aims to introduce new products and services, enhance system processing capacity, and support market expansion as Vietnam pushes for an upgrade in its market classification./.
