The Ministry of Industry and Trade has added pepper to the list of commodities traded on the Viet Nam Commodity Exchange (VNX), according to the ministry’s Decision 1071/QĐ-BCT issued on Wednesday.
Viet Nam will officially launch the VNX Allshare Index on October 24,
combining the two existing local exchanges to boost foreign investment
in the stock market.
Viet Nam plans to launch a new commodity exchange in the fourth quarter
of this year, according to a Memorandum of Understanding signed between
the Singapore-listed logistics firm Straits Financial Group and the Viet
Nam Commodities Exchange (VNX).
