UEFers explore the KRX technology “heart” within the market’s innovation landscape with an expert

The event attracted strong interest and participation from many UEF students

In attendance were Dr. Hà Thị Thủy – Dean of the Faculty of Finance – Accounting – together with program heads and faculty members.

The workshop’s engaging content came from the presentation of speaker Trần Tuấn Kiên – Head of Investment Advisory, FPTS. Drawing on personal experience and practical perspectives, he helped students better understand the birth of the KRX system, changes in trading mechanisms, and their impact on investors and the market.

A representative of the Faculty sent a letter of appreciation to the speaker

According to the speaker, the rollout of KRX marks a technological step forward, reflecting Vietnam’s effort to align with international standards in risk management, information transparency, and payment security. The new system is built on advanced technology, modernizing the entire chain from trading to clearing and replacing the infrastructure that has operated for more than 20 years.

He further emphasized that KRX paves the way for a series of important improvements such as same-day T+0 trading, covered short selling, conditional orders, expanded derivatives trading, and upgraded margin mechanisms—thereby enhancing the market’s liquidity and operational efficiency. These factors are also crucial for Vietnam to gradually meet FTSE and MSCI criteria for market reclassification, moving closer to the group of emerging economies.

The speaker offered multiple perspectives on the stock market in the new era

Alongside clear benefits, the enterprise representative also analyzed accompanying challenges, including requirements for technology infrastructure, data security, the operational capacity of securities firms, and especially workforce adaptation amid rapid digital transformation. He encouraged students to actively study Fintech, Data Analytics, and AI in finance to keep pace with this wave of change.

In a direct Q&A with the speaker, UEF students proactively broadened the discussion

Through the insights shared by Trần Tuấn Kiên, UEFers gained additional practical knowledge and in-depth perspectives on Vietnam’s stock market during this transition. More importantly, students recognized that mastering technology and cultivating an innovative mindset are essential to becoming capable finance professionals, ready to integrate with the market’s development trajectory.
