Speaking at the conference, standing Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh said Danang had been selected by the central government to “move ahead, pilot new models and create breakthroughs,” particularly through special policy mechanisms and institutional reforms.

He called on investors to pursue long-term, sustainable strategies, comply with legal commitments, and work closely with local authorities to accelerate project implementation and avoid delays that could waste resources.

Vietnam last Friday officially launched its IFC in Danang, marking a major regulatory milestone in the country’s strategy to deepen its integration into global financial markets.

The center, inaugurated at Danang Software Park No. 2, is designed to focus on digital finance, sustainable finance, and controlled regulatory sandboxes for new financial products and business models, officials said.

The country has adopted a “one center, two destinations” model for the IFC, with hubs in Ho Chi Minh City and Danang.
