DNSE has received approval from the Vietnam Exchange (VNX) to participate in the carbon trading system. It is also among the five securities companies initially approved by the Vietnam Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation (VSDC) for carbon transaction depository and settlement membership.

Nguyen Ngoc Linh, General Director of DNSE, stated that the carbon market is not merely a new trading market but a crucial component of Vietnam's emerging green finance ecosystem.

"Participating from the initial stage helps DNSE build capacity in a sector with significant growth potential, thereby creating a foundation to support the business community in the green transition and sustainable development," Ms. Linh shared.

The carbon market is a mechanism enabling businesses to buy and sell emission allowances and carbon credits to optimize emission reduction costs. Companies exceeding their allowances can purchase additional ones on the market, while businesses or projects generating recognized emission reductions can sell their carbon assets to create additional revenue.

According to experts, operationalizing the carbon market helps promote investment in clean technology, enhance the effectiveness of emission reduction, and complete Vietnam's green finance ecosystem. This direction is also expected to increase the capital market's appeal to international investment flows.

Notably, as Vietnam is anticipated to be upgraded by FTSE Russell to a secondary emerging market from 9/2026, global institutional investors increasingly consider ESG (environmental, social, and governance) as an important criterion in their asset allocation strategies.

A DNSE representative stated that early participation in the carbon market opens opportunities to expand its service ecosystem for corporate clients, ranging from carbon credit trading support to financial advisory, fundraising, investment banking, and solutions for sustainable development strategies.

For DNSE, this step reflects its commitment to supporting businesses on their green transition journey, preparing a foundation for future sustainable financial services.
