Da Nang International Financial Centre grants certificates to 12 investors
VOV.VN - The International Financial Centre in Da Nang city has granted membership registration certificates to 12 investors after two months of operation, as the city steps up efforts to develop a regional financial hub.
In addition to the 12 certified members, 11 investors have been issued letters of interest approval, while nine others are in the process of completing their applications.
The centre has so far received 85 expressions of interest from financial institutions and investors seeking membership. Authorities are continuing to assist international organisations in exploring the investment environment, registration procedures and licensing requirements.
City authorities have also held discussions with three centrally governed localities to identify key projects, which will be introduced to international investors to help mobilise capital and channel funding into the broader economy.
According to Dang Dinh, vice chairman of the centre’s executive board, Da Nang is implementing a range of measures to meet its development targets.
The centre is working with relevant ministries and agencies to build a modern financial ecosystem, including plans to establish at least two to three specialised exchanges, such as digital asset and tokenised asset trading platforms under a regulatory sandbox framework. These platforms are expected to help mobilise funding for major infrastructure projects in Da Nang, the central region and across Vietnam.
The city is prioritising human resource development and expanding international cooperation to position itself as a modern financial hub, he said.
Da Nang is focusing on three core infrastructure pillars, including investment in advanced and integrated IT infrastructure, promoting large-scale projects in artificial intelligence, data centres and high-performance computing, and developing concentrated IT zones. The city is also investing in new submarine cable landing stations to attract strategic investors in high-tech sectors, while accelerating the development of urban and international transport infrastructure.
