• The moment: Koru co-founder Khoi Nguyen joined the panel on the positioning of the VIFC at the Vietnam International Financial Centre Symposium 2026, held in HCMC on 29 May 2026 as part of Vietnam ADR Week 2026 (VAW), moderated by A&O Shearman’s Duc Tran.
• The thesis: A competitive financial centre needs more than capital and technology — it needs a transparent, predictable, internationally aligned legal framework and credible dispute resolution.
• The context: The VIFC launched in early 2026 under Resolution 222 as a dual-hub centre across HCMC and Da Nang, conceived as a capital conduit for Vietnam’s next growth phase.
• Why it matters to dealmaking: Clear rules and reliable enforcement are what make Vietnamese assets more “bankable” — directly relevant to the M&A and private-capital flows Koru advises on.

We were honoured to take part in the Vietnam International Financial Centre Symposium 2026, held in Ho Chi Minh City on 29 May 2026 as part of Vietnam ADR Week 2026 (VAW). Koru Capital co-founder Khoi Nguyen joined a panel on the positioning of the VIFC — a conversation that brought together advisory, in-house, arbitration and policy perspectives in one room.
