According to experts, capital and opportunities in supply chains are ready and are only waiting for Vietnamese businesses to operate to international standards. Richard D. McClellan, CEO of VIFC-HCMC, said he has met about 200 international investors since the start of the year, and many are interested in the Vietnamese market. The experts said the bottleneck is businesses' absorptive capacity rather than a lack of capital or international support, and companies with higher operating standards can access larger funding at lower cost. Recommendations include greater financial transparency through audits by the Big4, a diverse board with independent oversight, and combining the IFRS transition with global ESG reporting. The longer-term goal is to move from meeting standards to setting them, by turning compliance into internal capability, quality, technology, and innovation.

- Stock Market Crash Today : Investors Lose Rs 5 Lakh Crore As Sensex , Nifty Plunge . What Went Wrong ?
Indian stock markets fell sharply on Monday, October 19, erasing the previous week's recovery and wiping out more than Rs 5 lakh crore in investor wealth. The BSE Sensex dropped over 1,000 points, or 1.4%, to an intraday low of 73,709, while the NSE Nifty 50 lost about 300 points. Major drivers included heavy selling in banking stocks after September-quarter results, with HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank accounting for half of the Sensex's decline; Brent crude near $108-$109 per barrel amid tensions around the Strait of Hormuz; and foreign investors pulling out Rs 52,100 crore in October after Rs 35,861 crore in September.

- High Rates, Tight Funding: VIS Rating Warns of Weaker Credit for Banks and Businesses
VIS Rating expects rising operating costs and tighter funding to weaken the credit environment for Vietnamese banks and companies over the next 12 months, less favorable than the stable outlook for the first half of 2026. Retail fuel prices rose 19%-52% year on year and CPI rose 4.9%, squeezing debt-servicing cash flows, while lending rates are expected to stay high and credit growth is outpacing deposit mobilization. Residential real estate developers face the greatest risk: nationwide property transactions fell 36% year on year in Q2 2026, and the absorption rate for primary apartments in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City dropped to 73% from 95% in 2025. In contrast, infrastructure firms, large domestic consumer companies, and large and state-owned banks are seen as more resilient.

- Waymo Will Be “a Trillion Dollar Business. Easy” per VC Investor

The article notes Bessemer invested in Waymo's $16 billion February round, which valued the company at $126 billion.

Alphabet trades at 25.0x forward earnings, within its usual range, while Uber trades at 18.2x, a level analyst Walter Piecyk links to the threat from Waymo and Tesla's Robotaxi.
