Vietnam asks Daiwa to help widen access to international capital
The Japanese securities group pledged more training and technical support, while reaffirming plans to connect overseas investors with Vietnamese opportunities.
Vietnam’s finance minister has asked Daiwa Securities Group to help draw long-term foreign investment and strengthen financial ties with Japan. The Ministry of Finance said the discussions took place during To Lam’s official visit to Japan as Communist Party general secretary and president.
Daiwa said it would increase cooperation on training, technical support and sharing expertise. It also reiterated its commitment to helping develop Vietnam’s capital market and working with the ministry to introduce investment opportunities to Japanese and other overseas investors.
The minister linked Vietnam’s financing needs to its targets for double-digit growth in 2026–2030 and becoming a developed economy with high incomes by 2045. He said achieving those ambitions would demand substantial investment, especially funding over medium and long terms.
He sought Daiwa’s assistance with market modernisation, governance, staff development and research into broader ways of raising capital internationally. He also highlighted the importance of a transparent domestic market with stronger international connections.
Daiwa representatives said institutional investors in its worldwide network were positive about Vietnam’s growth prospects, macroeconomic stability and investment opportunities. They singled out infrastructure, green growth, the digital economy and energy transition. The minister also acknowledged Daiwa’s earlier work on staff training, financial expertise and links between businesses and financial institutions.
