Vietnamese investors registered 148,592 new securities trading accounts during November, according to the Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation (VSDC).

At the same time, 341,393 accounts were deleted, following a record 545,326 accounts being closed in October.

As of the end of November, the total number of accounts belonging to domestic individual investors was 7.25 million.

The closing of hundreds of thousands of accounts has not affected the market, however, the VSDC said.

Trading value recovered in November after concerns about exchange rates and the issuance of bills by the State Bank of Vietnam were allayed. The average trading value per session rose 17 per cent compared to October, to VND19.852 trillion ($827 million).
