Stock market authorities will suspend member securities
firms plagued with financial problems or violations of regulations on report
submissions, transactions or payments, said Vu Bang, chairman of the State
Securities Commission (SSC).
“Stock exchanges have suggested
some rule-breaking brokerages be suspended but we still need further
consideration,” Bang told the Daily last week.
Customers will be affected if
those brokers are asked to suspend operations immediately. Therefore, SSC
initially will announce suspension decisions but they will come into force 15
days later to give customers some time to shift to other companies.
Bang noted it was not time to
publicize poor-performing securities firms for the sake of their customers.
Information about these companies should be searched on the market, in the
Vietnam Securities Depository, and at stock exchanges and state agencies.
Securities firms in Vietnam
incurred total losses of 2 trillion dong in the first nine months. In
principle, losses are the matter of these enterprises but they must bear
responsibility for the interests of their clients, Bang said.
SSC has mapped out a securities
firm restructuring project and submitted it to the Ministry of Finance and the
Government. Those with serious financial problems will be forced to stop their
brokering services so as to protect customers’ interests.
“As there is no legal framework
regarding this matter, SSC has asked the Vietnam Securities Depository to issue
warnings to investors,” Bang said.
