KRX trading system expected to be operational in mid 2025

The KRX trading system is expected to be operational in this May or June, following a testing phase, the Vietnam News Agency has reported, citing the State Securities Commission (SSC).

Provided by the operator of South Korea’s bourse, the Korea Exchange (KRX), the system can handle 3-5 million orders a day and avoid overloads.

To facilitate foreign investor participation and advance Vietnam’s stock market upgrade, the SSC will continue implementing key measures in 2025. Recent efforts include legal amendments and coordination with relevant ministries to align with international market classification criteria.

Vietnam has engaged in discussions with global financial institutions, including MSCI, FTSE Russell, and the World Bank, receiving positive feedback on its reform progress.
