The article says Vietnam aims to become a high-income country by 2045, with effective AI use, especially developing workforce skills, seen as a key priority. A 2026 study commissioned by Amazon Web Services (AWS) found 26% of Vietnamese businesses have adopted AI, up from 18% a year earlier, but 61% of these are still in the testing stage, while 87% of surveyed employers say reskilling current staff is important to their AI strategy. The national AI human resources development program, approved in August 2026, targets basic AI skills for about 10 million workers by 2030. Dr. Tan Hong Ming of NUS Business School argues that leadership and redesigning work matter as much as technical skills, since training staff on AI tools may not raise productivity if processes and management do not change. He also warns that AI could remove the struggles that build judgment, so NUS Business School is piloting an AI-powered business simulation for MBA and Executive MBA students.

- Securities brokers struggle as trading liquidity shrinks
Average daily matched trading value, which once topped VND 45,000 billion, was only about VND 13,000 billion in September 2026, a sustained decline. Brokerage revenue of securities firms in Q3 2026 fell to about VND 2,700 billion, the lowest in six quarters and more than 60% below the nearly VND 7,000 billion peak in Q3 2025. Commission-dependent brokers see fewer client orders while account maintenance still takes time, so incomes have dropped sharply and some have left the profession. The article also notes that online account opening, trading apps and AI are reducing the traditional role of brokers.
- Government to submit new resolution on wage policy to Central Committee
Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Thị Thanh Trà said during a group discussion on the afternoon of Oct. 21 on laws covering labor, employment and social insurance that the Government is drafting a proposal to report to the Political Bureau. The proposal is expected to go to the Central Committee at its Fifth Plenum to issue a new resolution on wage and social insurance policy, replacing Resolutions No. 27-NQ/TW and No. 28-NQ/TW. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the current amendment to the Social Insurance Law mainly addresses immediate issues such as expanding coverage, while a more fundamental and comprehensive revision will follow the new resolution. For the Employment Law, the focus is cutting unnecessary licenses and reviewing rules on labor leasing, though simplifying procedures does not mean loosening management. Lawmakers also raised rules on depositing funds in joint-stock commercial banks with state capital, and the Government aims for safety, sustainability and timely payment of benefits.
- Two years after picking Vietnam as its fourth R&D hub in Asia, Microsoft confirms 'team restructuring': What's happening at Microsoft Vietnam?
Microsoft has confirmed personnel changes in Vietnam after many engineers received invitations to a meeting titled "Important Business Update". The company avoided the word "layoffs", saying it regularly adjusts how teams are organized and that in some cases this involves "difficult decisions" affecting positions. The number of affected staff and roles has not been disclosed, but an anonymous internal source said the impacted group is in R&D and numbers a few dozen people. Microsoft set up R&D teams in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City in 2024, making Vietnam the fourth market in Asia with this model. The move comes as Microsoft cut about 4,800 jobs (2.1% of its global workforce) in July 2026 to redirect resources toward AI, even as quarterly revenue for the period ending 30/6/2026 rose 18% to 90 billion USD. Microsoft has not said whether its Vietnam R&D operations will close or only be reorganized.

- 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.
