The corporate bond market in October saw many positive signs in both the primary and secondary markets. According to the Vietnam Bond Market Association (VBMA), the total value of corporate bonds issued in October was VND20.826 trillion ($926 million). Although this is a decline of 49.02 per cent compared to September, it increased 6,124 per cent year-on-year. There has been a crisis in the corporate bond market since October last year, with a series of lawsuits relating to bond issuances being instigated, but these figures clearly reflect the current market situation. After a year of various support coming from the government, relevant ministries, and businesses themselves, the market has improved significantly.
