About Ho Chi Minh Time
Ho Chi Minh City (also known as Saigon) uses Indochina Time (ICT), which is UTC+7 year-round. Vietnam does not observe Daylight Saving Time, making ICT a fixed offset shared with Bangkok, Hanoi, Phnom Penh, and Vientiane. ICT is 1 hour behind Singapore and Hong Kong, and 2 hours behind Tokyo and Seoul.
The Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE) trades from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM ICT on weekdays. Ho Chi Minh City is Vietnam's commercial and financial capital, generating roughly 25% of the country's GDP. Vietnam's manufacturing sector — particularly textiles, electronics, and footwear — has grown dramatically as global supply chains diversified away from China, making Ho Chi Minh time increasingly relevant for procurement and logistics teams in Europe and the US.
For US and European retailers and consumer electronics companies, Ho Chi Minh City has become a critical production hub, and ICT's UTC+7 position means factory day shifts (7:00 AM to 5:00 PM ICT) correspond to midnight to 10:00 AM in London. Most supply chain coordination between Vietnam and Europe relies on morning London-time messages that reach Vietnamese factories at their end of the working day.
