FTSE Russell has issued its mid-year market classification report, confirming that Vietnam is planned to be upgraded from Frontier Market to Emerging Market, effective Monday, September 21, 2026. The upgrade to global indices will be implemented in several phases, beginning in September 2026 and concluding in 2027.
Alongside the classification update, FTSE Russell also published a preliminary list of Vietnamese stocks that meet the screening criteria for the FTSE Global All Cap index, based on data through the end of trading on December 31, 2025. According to the list, 30 Vietnamese stocks could be added to global indices when the Emerging Market upgrade takes effect in September 2026.
The preliminary list shows a continued concentration in the banking sector, reflecting the sector’s role in Vietnam’s market capitalization and liquidity.
Among the large-cap names, Vietcombank (VCB) and BIDV (BID) are included in the proposed list. These stocks are described as among the market’s largest capitalization companies, with high liquidity and frequent inclusion in major indices.
The list also includes mid-cap banks such as SHB, Sacombank (STB), and Eximbank (EIB).
Compared with state-owned banks, the banks highlighted in the proposed list are described as smaller in size, but with stronger stock liquidity and higher free float. This is presented as consistent with FTSE Russell’s selection criteria.
The broad presence of banks in the preliminary list indicates that FTSE Russell’s screening places emphasis on liquidity and foreign investor accessibility, rather than market capitalization size alone.
Under the plan, FTSE Russell will publish the official list of stocks to be included in the indices in August 2026, ahead of the September 2026 effective date.
The currently published list is preliminary and may continue to change depending on market developments and whether each stock meets the technical criteria.
