Designing Financial Dispute Resolution in an International Financial Centre: The Case of Vietnam
Authors
Nguyen Thien Trang, Mai Le Tra My, Hoang Nguyen Bao Nhi
Abstract
Vietnam’s establishment of an International Financial Centre marks a significant shift in its approach to financial dispute resolution. This article examines recent legal reforms governing specialized courts and international arbitration, arguing that Vietnam is pursuing a distinctive hybrid model that incorporates selected international practices within its civil law system. Through comparative analysis with Singapore and Dubai, the article reveals both convergence with global standards and path-dependent institutional choices. While existing scholarship emphasizes substantive financial regulation, this study addresses the procedural foundations of dispute resolution credibility. The analysis demonstrates that although legal reforms enhance Vietnam’s international legitimacy, the regime’s effectiveness ultimately depends on consistent judicial practice and restrained application of public policy and state interest exceptions that could undermine arbitral finality.
