Vietnam trading drops to worst since 28 August

It followed the unexpected resignation of Sacombank Chairman Thanh.

OCBC Treasury Research noted:

The Vietnam Stock Index fell 3.27%, its worst one day drop since Aug 28 following the unexpected resignation of Sacombank Chairman Thanh, with the bank’s new chairman Pham later revealing that Thanh has been placed under investigation.

Friday’s turn of event was a reminisce of the plunge in Vietnam’s stocks in late Aug following the arrest of then Asia Commercial Bank’s co-founder Nguyen and CEO Ly for allegedly conducting illegal business.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
