ACCA Vietnam

ACCA-VIFC Forum 2026

Vietnam is entering a new era of global finance.
Discover the vision behind the Vietnam International Financial Centre (VIFC) and connect with the leaders shaping its future.

Overview

Over the past decade, the world has witnessed Vietnam's emergence as a new economic "tiger." The year 2026 marks a historic turning point: The launch of the Vietnam International Financial Centre (VIFC) based on a "Dual-city platform" in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang. This is a powerful affirmation by the Vietnamese Government of its commitment to building a transparent, modern, and globally connected financial ecosystem.

The ACCA – VIFC Forums in September 2026, brought to you by ACCA, serve as a vital bridge for ACCA business communities with direct access to top-tier leadership. Join us in Ho Chi Minh City on 17 September and Da Nang on 18 September 2026 to truly feel the pulse of Vietnam’s financial revolution.

Come and engage directly with the visionary leaders shaping the VIFC, walk the grounds of these future financial hubs, and sense the immense energy of a nation on the rise. There is no better way to understand the scale of this opportunity than to be there in person, connecting with the people and the policies that are redefining the region’s economic landscape.
