BIDV has launched a preferential credit program offering lending rates from 6.0% per year, up to 2.0% lower than its usual rates depending on loan term and sector. The program applies system-wide from October 15, 2026, to short-term VND loans in sectors aligned with government priorities, subject to the program's conditions and BIDV's credit rules. The bank says it aims to help customers access capital at reasonable cost to boost production and business, especially during the year-end peak of 2026, and to anticipate government and State Bank direction on lowering lending rates. Customers can contact BIDV branches or transaction offices for advice.

- HDBank launches VND 10,000 billion credit package, cuts interest rates by 1.5% per year to support businesses
HDBank is rolling out a VND 10,000 billion credit package from October 20, 2026 until November 30, 2026 or until the quota is reached, in line with government and State Bank of Vietnam policy to cut lending rates. Rates are 1.5% per year lower than the current preferential SME rate, offered to existing and new eligible customers in sectors such as exports, agriculture, high technology and supporting industries. Loans are disbursed in VND for working capital with a maximum tenor of 3 months, at 8% per year for up to 2 months and 8.7% per year for over 2 to 3 months, and borrowers must have a credit rating of A or higher. The funds cannot be used for real estate, securities or financial business, or to deposit money or buy certificates of deposit or bonds at other credit institutions.
- Bank Staff Push Last-Minute Deposits Ahead of Interest Rate Cuts
Following a State Bank of Vietnam directive to lower deposit rates, staff at many banks are pushing customers to deposit funds at the last minute before rates fall. The central bank requires banks to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage point for terms of 6 months and longer, or face tighter credit growth targets. The highest listed rate for 6-12-month terms hit 8% in August, up 2.5 percentage points year on year, while a VnExpress survey found 6-month rates at 8.5-9.2% a year. Since the directive, 15 banks have announced new deposit rate schedules, mostly cutting by 0.5 percentage point to below 7% a year for terms of 6 months and above. Some analysts say rates are near their peak and could ease from early 2027, though a quick reversal is unlikely as credit demand tends to rise toward year-end.
- Banks cut costs to lower lending rates for priority sectors
State Bank of Vietnam Governor Phạm Đức Ấn chaired a meeting with credit institutions, urging them to cut interest rates to support businesses and help achieve double-digit economic growth targets. Under Official Dispatch No. 9608/NHNN-CSTT, banks must lower listed deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points a year for terms of six months or longer, and cut lending rates by 1.5-2 percentage points for production, business and priority sectors. As of the end of last week, mobilised funds rose 11.22% and credit grew 11.44%, while the gap between đồng loans and mobilised funds narrowed from nearly VND2 quadrillion (US$75.75 billion) to below VND1.5 quadrillion. The SBV strictly prohibits lowering credit standards and may cut credit growth quotas for the rest of 2026 and set lower quotas for 2027 for banks violating interest rate rules. Banks are also urged to tighten control over high-risk lending and to classify bad debts accurately.
- Heated meeting on interest rate cuts: what do bank leaders say?
At a meeting with the State Bank on the morning of Oct. 19, several banks committed to cutting costs and sharing profits to lower lending rates by at least 1.5–2%. Vietcombank plans credit packages with deeper rate cuts for priority sectors, BIDV will roll out a package of about 100,000 billion dong with terms up to six months and accept about 500 billion dong in lost income, and Sacombank has a preferential program of 40,000 billion dong. Bank leaders said the biggest challenge is keeping deposit rates attractive enough, so room to cut lending rates depends on the supply and demand for capital. Hiệp hội Ngân hàng's Đào Minh Tú said sustainable rate cuts require coordinated fiscal and monetary policy and the development of capital channels outside banks, such as corporate bonds and the stock market.
- Another big bank, VietinBank, cuts lending rates by up to 2% per year
VietinBank announced on October 19 measures to cut lending rates by up to 2% per year to lower capital costs for businesses and households and support production through the end of 2026, prioritizing agriculture, affordable housing and infrastructure. It also runs a VND 50,000 billion credit program through 2028, with rates at least 1% per year below average. Agribank cuts rates by up to 2% per year and keeps a VND 70,000 billion program, Vietcombank pledged cuts of at least 2% by year-end, and BIDV offers loans from 6% per year. The moves follow a State Bank of Vietnam directive on October 18 requiring deposit rate cuts of at least 0.5% per year for terms of 6 months or more, and lending cuts of 1.5–2% per year for production and business.
- LPBank Cuts Lending Rates to Support Household Businesses and SMEs
LPBank will cut lending rates by 1.6-2% a year on new short-term loans for production and business needs across its network from Oct. 19 to Dec. 31. The bank is also lowering listed deposit rates by 0.5-0.6% a year for terms of six months or longer and by 0.05-0.1% for shorter terms. The program targets individuals, household businesses and micro-enterprises, with priority for agriculture and rural areas, in line with directions from the Government and the State Bank of Vietnam. General Director Vũ Quốc Khánh said the move aims to share customers' difficulties and direct capital to where it is needed.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
