Ishita Dhamani, senior partner at EY Singapore, said greening supply chains and interconnecting digital data could help Vietnam save billions of US dollars in logistics costs. Vietnam's logistics costs, at 16-18% of GDP, are high compared with the world and weaken the competitiveness of factories and investment appeal; she estimated greening could bring them down to 12-15% of GDP. Green logistics goes beyond electric trucks or energy saving at seaports and includes multimodal corridors (rail, inland waterways, road), smart warehouses and circular logistics. Shipment data is not yet shared smoothly because parties use different software platforms, and a representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed a national single window, electronic documents and standardized national logistics data. A pilot green logistics corridor linking production areas with Cái Mép - Thị Vải port and the Mekong Delta cold-chain would be measured by emissions, energy use, cost per unit, on-time delivery rate and cargo losses.

- What Are the Barriers to Economic Growth in ASEAN and Vietnam?
A session at the Fall Economic Forum 2026, organized by HCMC C4IR and the World Economic Forum on Oct. 27, examined barriers keeping ASEAN from fully capturing investment advantages. World Bank economist Sacha Dray said ASEAN has nearly 700 million people and an economy of about $4,000 billion, but intra-regional trade accounts for only about 22% of roughly $3,000 billion in annual trade, versus about 60% for the EU. ASEAN's regional value chain participation is about one-third of its global participation, compared with about 70% for the EU. Proposals include developing supplier networks, removing non-tariff barriers, and building cross-border industrial clusters. For Vietnam, Tiến sĩ Cấn Văn Lực said the capital market has not played its expected role in supplying medium- and long-term capital over three decades, and its ICOR has averaged over 6 over the past five years, now falling toward 4.5.
- What Do Foreign 'Big Eagles' Want Beyond a 'Green Lane' to Invest in Vietnam?
At the CEO 500 session of the Autumn Economic Forum 2026 (AEF 2026) in Ho Chi Minh City, Deputy Chairman Nguyễn Công Vinh said the city aims to attract $19 billion in FDI in 2026, prioritizing finance, technology, digital transformation, the green economy and innovation. Peter James Opdahl, chairman of Ito Group Holdings, said that beyond the “green lane” investment procedure, Vietnam needs deeper and broader supply chains, a developed domestic market and support for small firms to build international networks; his group has made Vietnam a production hub since 2012 and is building a 12,000 m² factory in Linh Trung Export Processing Zone. IMF Resident Representative Fazurin Jamaludin said the AI-driven tech cycle has supported exports and investment, but concentrated tech supply chains, fiscal pressure and rising borrowing costs are risks. Nguyễn Hữu Huân, deputy head of VIFC-HCMC, proposed matching the type of capital to each stage of a project, with priorities in AI, digital infrastructure, semiconductors, automation, biotech and green technology.
- China Opens 'Century Canal' as Multiple Shipping Routes Shift: What Opportunities for Vietnam?
Lucio Blanco Pitlo III, a board member of a Chinese studies association in the Philippines, writes that the 134.2 km Binglu Canal links the Beibu Gulf with inland waterways in Guangxi, shortening sea access for southwest China and giving ASEAN countries a new route to Western markets via the China-Europe rail network. The 72.7 billion yuan (about $10.8 billion) project, completed in four years, opened on September 16 to vessels of up to 5,000 tons. Guangxi officials forecast logistics costs will fall 18-30%, saving over 5 billion yuan ($745 million) a year. Container throughput at Beibu Gulf Port rose from 2.28 million TEU in 2017 to 10.06 million TEU last year. The author says Vietnam could benefit considerably from its proximity, citing a container ship that carried 40 containers of Vietnamese rice bran on a round trip from Nanning to Can Tho.
- Private enterprises still struggle to access capital, land and supply chains
At a VCCI forum on October 22, experts said the health of the private sector has not clearly improved, despite Resolution 68 providing momentum. In the first nine months, 149,700 new enterprises were registered, up 3.2% year on year, compared with an 18.9% rise in the same period of 2025, and private corporate income tax revenue also fell. The chairman of the HCMC SME association said small and medium firms still struggle to borrow despite a VND 128,000 billion credit package, while the State Bank's Region 2 office reported SME outstanding loans in HCMC at about VND 1.27 million billion, up 10%. Vietnam aims for 2 million active private enterprises by 2030, contributing 55–58% of GDP. The government submitted the Law on Enterprise Development to the National Assembly on October 17.
- VinFast Has Found Its “Chicken” — So What Next?
VinFast's growth is opening opportunities for Vietnamese supporting-industry firms to join the auto supply chain more deeply, helping to break the “chicken-and-egg” deadlock between assemblers and suppliers. However, having a large customer does not mean an industrial ecosystem has formed, so lead enterprises must guide markets, technology and production organization to connect and upgrade the entire network. At Vingroup's supplier development conference on October 16, Ms. Thái Thị Thanh Hải, Vice Chairwoman of Vingroup, said any process VinFast performs itself can be transferred to qualified suppliers, including machinery and equipment. Vingroup also proposed that one lead supplier coordinate the enterprises further down the chain, while VinFast helps suppliers improve quality management and sometimes sends experienced technical staff to solve production problems.

- Frozen housing market sends remodelers mixed messages
The Leading Indicator of Remodeling Activity (LIRA) from Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies projects U.S. remodeling and repair spending to stay relatively flat through late 2027, with growth of just 1.5% year-over-year by the third quarter. High interest rates, high home prices and weak consumer sentiment have put housing in a deep freeze, although homeowners who cannot or do not want to sell tend to renovate instead. Rachel Bogardus Drew, director of the remodeling futures program, said annual spending could hover around $525 billion through the third quarter of next year. Housing starts for September, building permits and pending home sales all came in well below expectations, and Chris Herbert said these headwinds could slow remodeling growth further. Separate NAHB and Houzz surveys were more upbeat, with remodeler sentiment stable and construction pros' outlook at its highest since early 2022, but high material, labor and fuel costs remain pressures.

- Bitcoin price analysis sees ‘strong rally’ as old coins become dormant
CryptoQuant data shows the share of Bitcoin's realized cap held by coins unmoved for 18 months or longer slipped from 26.98% on Sept. 16, its highest since mid-November 2024, to 26.59%. CryptoQuant says a similar pattern has preceded past Bitcoin bull markets and sees the market in the early stages of a new cycle. Long-term holders have reduced onchain spending, and coins unmoved for five years or more have averaged about 34,000 BTC a month in 2026, half the 2024 level. Galaxy Digital described the current bear market as the shallowest on record, with a maximum drawdown of -53% from all-time highs. The 18-month-to-two-year cohort is now in net loss, with a cost basis of $93,193.
- What Few Investors Realize About QQQ's Dividend
Over the past five years, QQQ's dividend has grown about 75.0%, roughly in line with the fund's 87.4% share price gain. The latest four quarterly distributions totaled $3.09182 per share, and the most recent payout of $0.75143 was up 8.3% from a year earlier. At the October 26 close of $712.20, trailing distributions equal a yield of about 0.43%, or roughly $43 a year on a $10,000 position. Distributions are taxable even when reinvested, and the article notes the fund is better suited to investors focused on growth than to those who need meaningful current income. The next ex-dividend date is set for December 21, 2026, payable January 11, 2027, though the per-share amount has not been declared.
- Only 5 of 60 Analysts Still Say Sell Tesla, the Fewest in 11 Years
A widely followed survey shows only 5 of 60 analysts rate Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) a sell, the lowest share in more than 11 years, down from 15 of 71 in January. The stock closed at $391.62 on October 26, 2026, up 5.21%. Some analysts have shifted views on the possibility that SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPCX) could acquire Tesla: BNP Paribas moved from sell to neutral with a $420 target, while Barclays upgraded to Overweight with a $450 target and called the anticipated merger a key part of the bull case. However, no deal has been agreed, and GAAP net income fell 43% to $787 million. The article argues that the risks outweigh the merger case.
