Vietnam's Supreme People's Procuracy (Department 3) has called on Đỗ Hoàng Linh and Trần Trọng Nghĩa, both former VNCB officials, to surrender during the prosecution stage. On October 4, the Ministry of Public Security's investigation police sent their case conclusion No. 96 and the case file, recommending prosecution for violating lending rules at credit institutions under Article 179 of the 1999 Penal Code. Both are fugitives subject to wanted notices issued in 2015 and 2018. Surrendering would allow them to seek leniency and exercise their defense rights, while continued flight would be treated as a waiver of those rights, with prosecution and trial proceeding. Linh was previously sentenced in 1999 to three years in prison, suspended, for fraud.

- International Business: IMF chief urges co-operation on AI and war risks
IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva urged international cooperation to tackle multiple risks, including rapid AI advances and a prolonged Middle East war, at the IMF-World Bank annual meetings in Bangkok. The IMF slightly raised its 2026 global growth forecast to 3.1%, well below the historical average, while warning of risks from a potential end to the AI investment boom, rising debt and the Middle East conflict. The Fund said that without the US-Israeli-led war against Iran and Tehran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, which caused a major energy shock, AI would have fuelled much stronger growth. US Treasury Under Secretary Erin Browne pushed back, citing record US stock highs and strong US output, and urged the IMF to take a more balanced view.

- Has VinFast found the 'chicken' to solve Vietnam's auto industry's toughest dilemma?
Vietnam's auto industry has long been stuck in a chicken-and-egg dilemma: low output discourages suppliers from investing, while a weak supporting industry keeps costs high. The article argues that VinFast's growing output could create the stable demand suppliers have been waiting for. VinFast delivered 196,919 electric vehicles globally in 2025, up 102%, including 46,977 VF 3s, and in the first nine months of the year it delivered 42,272 VF 3s and 40,018 Limo Green vehicles in Vietnam alone. The company said it added 55 domestic suppliers and localized 108 component groups in one year, and opened supply opportunities for its plants in India and Indonesia. However, suppliers still need stable, long-term orders, as well as competitive quality, cost and logistics, before they can commit to new investment.
