On October 27, Truong Minh Huy Vu, Vice Chairman of Ho Chi Minh City's People's Committee, discussed the future of VIFC-HCMC during the Autumn Economic Forum 2026. Vu highlighted the need to reform financial resource mobilisation and allocation, stating that the IFC's operational legal frameworks were now complete. The city had admitted its first 10 members, operating as holding companies.
In the next phase, Vu emphasized the importance of developing regulations for investment funds and fund management, with the expected issuance of these regulations in November. Investment funds will be categorized into three tiers, aligning with international financial centres like Singapore, Dubai, and Hong Kong. Vu stressed that the VIFC-HCMC's purpose extends beyond financial activities to channeling capital into the real economy, focusing initially on mobilising financial resources to support development needs in Ho Chi Minh City and the southeastern region.
To fully realize the city's growth potential, appropriate mechanisms to mobilise resources, including financial models connecting domestic and international capital flows with actual investment needs, are essential.
