Concurrently, Nguyen Thi Viet Ha, HoSE's acting chairwoman, has been appointed as its chief executive officer. Ha had held this position since late February 2021, succeeding Le Hai Tra. At that time, Ha was tasked with overseeing the board of directors, performing duties and powers equivalent to the acting chairman position at HoSE.

At the decision announcement conference, Vu Thi Chan Phuong, SSC chairwoman, expressed hope that with their well-trained expertise, capabilities, and work experience, the new HoSE leadership can build upon strengths, unite, and support each other to further develop the exchange. Through these efforts, HoSE can contribute positively to the stable, safe, efficient, modern, and sustainable development of Vietnam's stock market.

The Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE) is the entity managing and operating Vietnam's first and largest stock exchange. Established in 1998 and officially commencing operations in July 2000, HoSE serves as the backbone of the capital market. It is a listing hub for leading companies with strong financial potential. Notably, HoSE operates the VN-Index, the most important indicator reflecting the health and trends of Vietnam's economy.

Currently, HoSE is a subsidiary of VNX. In its business performance report submitted to the Ministry of Finance earlier this year, the exchange recorded revenue of approximately 1,680 billion dong in 2024. This year, HoSE launched the new information technology system (KRX). The exchange is also focused on modernizing its technology system and enhancing listing standards to align with international markets, contributing to attracting domestic and foreign investment for economic development.

Beyond these two key positions, HoSE's current management structure includes three deputy general directors: Tran Anh Dao, Ngo Viet Hoang Giao, and Dang Thi Thanh Huong.
