It closed at 304.1, gaining 12.8 points during the week. The last time the index reached the figure was on August 17, 2001, when it closed at 321.83.

Other positive news coming from the market included REE’s announcement last Wednesday about the completion of a private placement worth VND160 billion … [Read more...] about VN index boosted by positive corporate news
