"The banking sector is poised for a valuation uplift, according to Quan Trong Thanh, Director of Analytics at Maybank Investment Bank (MSVN). He asserts that the industry's prospects are closely tied to the nation's economic growth trajectory. With Vietnam's imminent upgrade to Emerging Market status, the country's stock market is expected to witness a significant influx of foreign investment. A substantial portion of this inflow is likely to be directed towards the banking sector, further bolstering its valuation."
