The announcement clearly states that the Deputy Prime Minister highly appreciates the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee’s early recognition of the importance of establishing an International Financial Center in Vietnam for the socio-economic development of the country and the city. The Committee has taken proactive steps by issuing a resolution on the implementation of the project, forming a steering committee, and making necessary preparations. They have also actively coordinated and provided valuable input for the draft resolution of the National Assembly on the establishment of the International Financial Center in Vietnam.
The Deputy Prime Minister requests that the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee closely coordinate with the Ministry of Finance and relevant ministries and agencies to urgently define and strategize the development of the International Financial Center. This includes concretizing the policies outlined in the draft resolution, identifying a unique and differentiated path, determining areas of focus, and leveraging the city’s specific comparative advantages. Alongside general policies, the city should take the initiative to propose breakthrough and outstanding policies unique to Ho Chi Minh City, ensuring the successful establishment of the International Financial Center in accordance with the conclusion of the Politburo in Document No. 14719-CV/VPTW dated May 6, 2025.
At the same time, it is crucial to expeditiously build and prepare the necessary resources, infrastructure, and facilities to serve the International Financial Center in Vietnam, with a clear and early formation of planning associated with the city’s development spaces.
Additionally, focus on establishing a competent personnel apparatus, organizational structure, and management team with specific human resources. Prioritize highly skilled, fluent in foreign languages, and experienced individuals in the fields of finance, banking, technology, insurance, and investment funds. Proactively reach out to international financial centers to send the city’s personnel for training.
