Vietnam Financial Center Takes Shape, Seeking Wall Street Links

Vietnam is seeking to create global investor interest in its nascent international financial center, envisaged as an entry point for funds into one of the world’s fastest-growing economies.

“There’s capital stored up all over the world that wants into Vietnam, but it’s a capital-controlled environment,” Rich McClellan, the center’s chief executive officer, said in an interview in Melbourne Tuesday, where he was meeting investors. “I’m probably doing on average three-to-four investor conversations every day.”
