- Banks begin sharp cuts to deposit rates across many terms on the afternoon of October 19
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) asked credit institutions to cut deposit rates by at least 0.5% a year for terms of 6 months or longer, and lending rates by 1.5-2% a year for production, business and priority sectors, while avoiding competitive rate hikes. LPBank cut deposit rates across all terms from 1 to 36 months, with its online 12-month rate now at 6.7% a year and 48-60 month rates at 5.2%. VietBank lowered online rates by 0.5 percentage points for terms of 6 to 36 months, bringing its 6-8 month rate to 5.4% a year. The central bank warned that banks failing to cut rates may face a review of their remaining credit quotas this year, lower targets next year, or higher safety ratios.
- Outstanding credit as of October 14 tops 20.7 million billion dong; banks agree to cut lending rates after meeting with the State Bank on the morning of October 19
As of October 14, 2026, outstanding credit to the economy reached 20,721,583 billion dong, up 11.44% from the end of last year and 16.73% year-on-year. On the morning of October 19, State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) Governor Phạm Đức Ấn met with chairs and CEOs of commercial banks, and the banks agreed to cut interest rates. Specifically, listed deposit rates for terms of 6 months or more will fall by at least 0.5%/year, while lending rates will drop by 1.5–2%/year, focusing on production, business and priority sectors. The backdrop includes Middle East conflict driving up oil prices, several major central banks raising rates and a stronger US dollar, all of which pressure Vietnam's monetary policy. The SBV also asks banks to channel credit into production and business while tightly controlling lending to risky sectors, including real estate.
- State Bank of Vietnam: Listed deposit rates to be cut by at least 0.5% per year for terms of 6 months and longer; banks must not compete by raising deposit rates
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) issued Document No. 9608/NHNN-CSTT dated 18/10/2026, directing credit institutions and foreign bank branches to lower overall interest rate levels. Immediately, banks must cut listed deposit rates by at least 0.5% per year for terms of 6 months or longer and reduce lending rates by 1.5-2% per year, focusing on production, business and priority sectors. The SBV stressed that banks must not compete by raising deposit rates or lower credit standards to expand loan volumes. The document also calls for tighter control over lending to large-exposure customer groups and risk-prone sectors, especially loans used to pay capital contributions or buy shares in unlisted companies.

At the opening of the 2nd session of the 16th National Assembly on the morning of October 17, Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng presented the results of the 2026 socio-economic plan and the proposed 2027 plan. GDP grew 9.95% in Q3 and 9.01% in the first nine months, while industry and construction rose 11.21% over nine months, the highest since 2015. Exports and imports grew 30.4% in nine months, with the full-year figure estimated at 1,110 billion USD, and registered FDI reached 50.36 billion USD, up 76.4%. The State Bank of Vietnam directed credit institutions to cut lending rates by 1.5-2% for production and business and priority sectors, while average CPI over nine months rose only 4.52%. The article also notes that Moody's raised Vietnam's outlook from “Stable” to “Positive”.
- Banks poised for Q3 profit growth amid margin pressure
Nam A Bank reported pre-tax profit of more than $188 million for the first nine months of 2026, up 25% year on year, with total assets nearing $18.6 billion and return on equity near 20%, and has achieved nearly 80% of its full-year pre-tax target of $248 million. MBS forecasts combined profit at 13 listed banks it covers could rise 19.1%, with Vietcombank's after-tax profit estimated at $466.1 million, up more than 29%, while VCBS expects VPBank's Q3 pre-tax profit at $430.8 million, up 18%. HDBank is forecast to post profit growth above 50% on credit growth of around 35%, whereas Sacombank, LPBank and Eximbank could see profits decline due to higher loan-loss provisioning and narrower net interest margins. A State Bank of Vietnam survey shows 86.1% of credit institutions expect 2026 pre-tax profit to grow, while 10.4% anticipate a decline.
- State Bank Says Deposits Hit Record VND 11.4 Quadrillion, Rising Steadily Since Start of Year
Total deposits at credit institutions reached about VND 17.77 quadrillion at the end of August 2026, up over VND 310,000 billion (1.78%) from end-July and 7.6% year-to-date. Household deposits hit a record of about VND 11.43 quadrillion, accounting for roughly 87.5% of the year's total increase, and have not declined in any month this year. Corporate deposits stood at about VND 6.34 quadrillion, up 1.54% in the month but still below the late-June peak. Credit outstanding reached about VND 20.75 quadrillion as of 30 September 2026, up 11.59% from end-2025, so lending continues to outpace deposit growth. The State Bank said the average deposit rate on new transactions was 6.38%/year as of 20 September, and it asked banks to cut deposit rates for new terms of 6 months or longer, as well as listed and lending rates.

Netflix (NFLX) reports third-quarter results after the bell on Tuesday, with the stock down more than 25% this year and closing Friday near $70, versus $93.76 at the end of 2025.

Management said imports remain well below historical levels, but it indefinitely idled the galvanizing lines at its Canadian unit Stelco due to oversupply. The company guided to about $715 million of adjusted EBITDA in Q4 and said 2027 adjusted EBITDA should exceed $4 billion based on current index price forecasts. Its target is to bring net debt to EBITDA below 2.5x by mid-2027.

- AI capex may be Meta's biggest earnings test
Meta Platforms (META) reports third-quarter earnings after the close on Wednesday, alongside a wave of Big Tech peers. The GAAP EPS estimate is $3.54, though that figure may be messy because a legal settlement will be included and analysts differ on how it will be accounted for. Options imply a 3.2% move in either direction, the smallest since the fourth-quarter report before last. Estimates for next year's capex vary widely: Wedbush near $250 billion, Evercore ISI $210 billion, Bank of America $205 billion and Dan Ives around $194 billion. Most analysts say that spending is acceptable if Meta provides a Muse roadmap and confidence it can monetize it, and the stock is up about seven and a half percent year to date.
