By the end of October, the market recorded 44.9 thousand foreign individual accounts and over 4.7 thousand foreign organizational accounts.

Thus, the number of accounts continued to rise despite the overall market sluggishness. The VN-Index closed the month at 1,639.65 points, slightly down from the end of September, accompanied by reduced liquidity.
