Financial services are increasingly relying more and more on technology, so the nature of a financial center will shift into a high-tech center or have a symbiotic relationship with another technology center. This will prove to be a challenge for existing centers, but an opportunity for new centers.
Recently, the Ho Chi Minh City Economic Forum 2019 (HEF-2019) under the theme “Ho Chi Minh City: the next Asian and Global Financial Center” was organized by the People’s Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, in which more than 800 delegates participated, including leaders from the Government and various ministries, representatives of diplomatic agencies, leaders from the World Bank, leaders of international financial institutions (such as IMF, IFC, ADB), financial and corporate experts and more than 30 eminent national and international speakers.
