In the initial plan, legal framework and market facilitation had to be completed during 2013-15, and the market had to come into effect this year. After four years of implementation, relevant agencies would improve the quality of the market and launch other products as well.
Binh also urged the Hanoi Stock Exchange (HNX) and the Vietnam Securities Depository (VSD) to develop the implementation plan and settlement mechanisms for the trading of derivatives products.
“The SSC will soon complete minor policies regarding the operation of derivatives market, and publishing of trading details and violations,” Binh said, adding that the SSC would work with the HNX and VSD to develop regulations on the prices, fees and taxation.
“Those papers will be completed soon and published before the market officially operates.”
