Why foreign investors are exiting the Vietnam stock exchange

Despite the VN-Index finishing 2023 up 12.2 percent last year, foreign traders exited the market to the turn of over US$1 billion–more than US$408 million in December alone. Vietnam News is carrying ‘expert’ analysis of this phenomena but the article contains only two key observations:

  • EU and US markets are performing better and this is drawing capital away from Asian markets; and
  • Government support for stock market investment inKorea and Thailand may have seen investors from these countries move their cash back home.

The rest of this article is mostly wide ranging speculation as to what might happen in 2024 in terms of foreign investors buying back into the market.
