MSB is one of the leading commercial banks in Vietnam with good business performance. Nearly 1,175 billion shares of the bank being listed on the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HOSE), the bank’s market capitalization at the time of listing is around VND 17,600 billion on December 23, 2020.
The FX Awards aim to promote transparency and liquidity in the Vietnamese foreign exchange market and to recognize its importance to the broader economy. Award winners were determined based on trading activity on Refinitiv’s FX trading platforms.
