On July 25, the TekTalk Ep.61 event, titled “Developing Financial Services Toward a Modern and Efficient Financial Center in Vietnam,” brought together over 150 people to discuss Vietnam’s potential to become a leading financial hub in Southeast Asia.
The discussion, featuring experts from banking, fintech, and regulatory bodies, centered on the idea that while many countries are building modern digital financial centers, Vietnam’s large population and rapid digital transformation give it a unique advantage.
Key takeaways from the event included the necessity of a strong digital infrastructure and a transparent legal framework, the dual role of AI as both a driver of innovation and a cybersecurity challenge, and the importance of collaboration between traditional banks and fintech companies.
The speakers emphasized that to achieve its goal, Vietnam needs to create a unified national strategy, invest in skilled talent, and develop regulatory sandboxes and specialized digital financial zones.
