According to Bloomberg, in the first half of 2018, more than $19 billion in foreign capital was withdrawn from emerging markets in Asia. Meanwhile, according to data from Vietcombank Securities Company (VCBS), foreign investors still net bought nearly $1.5 billion on the Vietnamese stock market. According to VCBS, regardless of the general withdrawal trend of foreign capital in emerging markets, cash flow from countries such as Japan and South Korea into Việt Nam was still trending upwards. However, Việt Nam’s stock market still faces many external risks. In particular, foreign investors will also focus more on IPO deals and capital divestments at large State-owned enterprises.
