Most Southeast Asian stock markets are emerging on the global financial map and foreign investment flow into these markets was unstable during the past year.

According to Bloomberg’s statistics, in December 2013 the Vietnam stock market took the lead in net foreign exchange purchases (worth US$50 million), which increased its yearly net value to US$250 million in total, ranking it second in the region.
