CRIF FORUM VIETNAM 2026: EMPOWERING GROWTH WITH TRUSTED DATA

CRIF FORUM VIETNAM 2026: EMPOWERING GROWTH WITH TRUSTED DATA

CRIF Forum Vietnam 2026 successfully concluded in Hanoi, bringing together nearly 200 representatives from government agencies, financial institutions, businesses, and international experts to discuss the key drivers of Vietnam's next growth chapter amid an increasingly dynamic global economy.

Under the theme “Empowering Growth with Trusted Data,” the first CRIF Forum ever held in Vietnam provided a platform for meaningful dialogue on the role of trusted information, transparency, and data-driven decision-making in strengthening investor confidence, enhancing business competitiveness, and supporting long-term economic growth.

A central message emerged throughout the forum: trust is becoming one of Vietnam's most valuable competitive advantages. As businesses, investors, and financial institutions navigate an increasingly interconnected and complex environment, trusted data plays a critical role in enabling better risk assessment, identifying new opportunities, and supporting more confident decision-making.

Discussions covered a wide range of topics, including Vietnam's economic outlook and capital markets, the development of an International Financial Centre, responsible adoption of artificial intelligence (AI), ESG and sustainability requirements, supply chain transparency, and access to green finance. Together, these conversations highlighted how reliable data and transparency are becoming essential foundations for Vietnam's future growth and competitiveness.

CRIF Vietnam would like to express its sincere appreciation to Mr. Carlo Gherardi, Chairman and CEO of CRIF Group, and Mr. Simone Lovati, Managing Director of CRIF Asia, for joining us in Hanoi and helping mark this important milestone in CRIF's journey in Vietnam.

We also extend our gratitude to H.E. Marco Della Seta, Ambassador of Italy to Vietnam, and Mr. Nguyen Xuan Tho, Deputy Director General of the Agency for Private Enterprise and Collective Economy Development (APED), Ministry of Finance, for their presence and valuable contributions to the event.

CRIF Forum Vietnam 2026 also featured distinguished speakers and experts from leading organizations including UK Export Finance, the International Finance Corporation (IFC), Dragon Capital Vietnam, EY Vietnam, PwC Vietnam, Moody's Analytics, Dow Jones, Vietcombank Fund Management, VINASME, EuroCham, and many other public and private sector institutions, bringing diverse perspectives on Vietnam's opportunities and challenges in the years ahead.

The contributions of our speakers, moderators, partners, and participants helped create a dynamic and insightful forum that fostered meaningful dialogue across sectors while providing valuable perspectives on building a more transparent, resilient, and competitive business environment for the future.

CRIF Vietnam remains committed to working alongside government authorities, financial institutions, and the business community to strengthen trusted data ecosystems, support more informed decision-making, and contribute to sustainable economic growth in Vietnam.
