In his opening speech, Mr. Johan Nyvene, Vice President of CEO Club and CEO of HSC, frankly shared about the unpleasant challenges and difficulties that the business community has faced in 2024, and how businesses industry has overcome the context of global economic fluctuations, which most clearly demonstrates the volatile reality of the stock market in Vietnam. Mr. Johan Nyvene said:
“A notable fact is that foreigners were net sellers, and this number was probably around $4 billion. However, I want to emphasize that the overwhelming rest of the stock market essentially says a lot about how the Vietnamese economy is progressing. Although Vietnam’s economy has been performing quite well, the stock market partly reflects the sentiment of foreign investors about Vietnam. We must frankly admit that the continued departure of foreign investors is a surprise and unpleasant thing for us.”
