Within the framework of Vietnam ADR Week 2026 (VAW 2026), the event “Launch of the VIAC Financial Dispute Resolution Division & VIFC Symposium 2026” is designed as a multi-stakeholder platform bringing together policymakers, legal experts, investors, and business representatives. The programme focuses on (i) the role of dispute resolution infrastructure within the VIFC ecosystem; (ii) identifying disputes arising in international financial centres and relevant international experience; and (iii) key practical issues, including capital flows and dispute risks, dispute prevention and risk management mechanisms, the role of arbitration and ADR, as well as emerging trends such as green finance and regulatory sandboxes for financial innovation.
On this occasion, the Vietnam International Arbitration Centre (VIAC) will also officially launch its specialized Financial Dispute Resolution Division, marking an important step in its development strategy toward delivering highly specialized dispute resolution services that are better aligned with the specific characteristics of financial transactions and responsive to evolving market demands.
