Vietnam’s stock market has reached a major milestone, with the number of domestic investor accounts surpassing 12 million as of January 31.
The achievement follows the opening of nearly 245,000 new accounts in January alone, reflecting growing investor participation and confidence in the market.
The Vietnam News Agency quoted data from the Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation as reporting that the total number of registered accounts climbed to nearly 12.1 million, an increase of 244,370 compared to the end of 2025.
Retail investors continued to dominate, accounting for around 12 million of the total. Domestic institutional investors held 19,301 accounts.
Foreign investor participation also rose modestly, with a total of 50,532 accounts registered. Of these, 45,757 belonged to individual foreign investors, while 4,775 were held by foreign institutional investors.
The rapid increase in account registrations highlights strong momentum in investor engagement and significantly exceeds the Government’s target of reaching 11 million investor accounts by 2030 under its securities market development strategy.
