Following the recent launch of the privately-placed corporate bond trading system, Minister of Finance Ho Duc Phoc has said if transparency and safety are ensured, privately-placed corporate bonds will effectively prove their role in mobilizing capital for businesses.

He said the launch of this system reflects his ministry’s strong determination to develop the financial and stock markets. The system will help State agencies better manage the bond market while people can engage in supervision, thus improving market transparency.

On July 19 – the opening day of the system, 19 privately-placed corporate bonds had their registrations approved and were offered for transaction. Four bonds with more than 5 million units worth over 1.78 trillion VND (74.9 million USD) were traded.

Phoc considered this as a good sign, saying if transparency and safety are ensured, privately-placed corporate bonds are completely able to bring into play their role in mobilizing capital for businesses.

According to the Finance Ministry, the corporate bond market of Vietnam remains relatively modest compared to others in the region. Its outstanding value is currently equivalent to more than 15% of the GDP, which is targeted at 20% by 2025 and at least 25% by 2030 under the financial strategy.

The minister noted the corporate bond market has developed rather positively over the past years. A legal framework has been basically built to facilitate this market’s development and assist businesses to raise funding for their operation.

However, the market’s quality has yet to match its fast growth. Some risks have appeared and need precise assessment to devise appropriate solutions to help the market develop in the right direction and in a safe and sustainable manner.

Therefore, a legal framework and policies for the market are gradually taking shape through the issuance of laws, decrees, and circulars, Phoc went on.

On March 5, the Government released a decree which amended and supplemented some regulations of the previous ones on privately-placed corporate bonds. The new document aims to create a legal corridor for tackling certain short-term difficulties for businesses and, at the same time, guarantee investors’ rights and interests.

According to the Vietnam Bond Market Association, almost no businesses issued bonds in the market in late 2022 and the first two months of 2023. However, from the time the new decree was released to mid-July, more than 68.5 trillion VND worth of corporate bonds were issued, comprising nearly 9.3 trillion VND via 11 public offerings (13.5%) and 59.2 trillion VND via private placements (86.5%).

Deputy Minister of Finance Nguyen Duc Chi held that this was a positive sign showing the policy’s effectiveness in enhancing businesses and investors’ confidence.

Since the launch of the new decree, market stakeholders’ awareness has improved substantially while issuers and service suppliers have also seriously complied with the rules on information provision for investors, he said, expressing his hope that the market will develop sustainably./.
