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

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
