Vietnam is positioning itself as Southeast Asiaโ€™s next investment hotspot. In a landmark move, the Ministry of Finance scrapped the long-standing โ€œpre-fundingโ€ rule that required foreign investors to fully deposit funds before executing trades.

By removing barriers like foreign ownership caps and pre-funding rules, Hanoi is making a play to become Southeast Asiaโ€™s next capital magnet.

At stake is Vietnamโ€™s ambition to graduate from โ€˜frontierโ€™ to โ€˜emerging marketโ€™ statusโ€”an upgrade that could trigger billions in inflows. With a 31% gain in the VN Index this year alone, the momentum is real.
