Elife’s partner network reaches about 100 million monthly active users, including many international visitors to Vietnam. Market research firm Mordor Intelligence projects the global electric taxi market to grow from USD 29.54 billion in 2025 to USD 110.56 billion by 2031.

- Two Views on Asset Seizure and Account Freezing for Commercial Legal Entities
On October 18, the National Assembly received a report on revisions to the draft Criminal Procedure Code, including provisions on prosecuting commercial legal entities and applying asset seizure and account freezing to them. The Standing Committee of the Law and Judicial Committee reported two groups of views. Most support the draft as written, saying it aligns with the draft Criminal Code and the conclusions of the General Secretary and State President, that prosecution is needed to pursue criminal liability, and that these measures help prevent asset dissipation and ensure enforcement. Others argue that the draft Criminal Code does not treat legal entities as offenders, so these provisions should not apply. The draft was revised to say commercial legal entities “bear criminal liability” rather than “commit crimes,” in line with Article 31 of the Constitution.
- Household businesses with revenue of up to VND 10 billion may pay tax based on revenue
The government has proposed letting individuals and household businesses with revenue of up to VND 10 billion choose to pay tax on revenue at rates of 0.5% to 5% depending on the sector, instead of only those under VND 3 billion as now. According to the Ministry of Finance, only 0.14% of the country's 2.7 million household businesses have revenue above VND 10 billion, so 99.86% would be able to choose the simpler method. Businesses with annual revenue of up to VND 10 billion would also be offered a similar choice. The Committee on Economic and Financial Affairs argued that many tax provisions in the draft SME Development Law overlap with existing laws and proposed moving them to a bill amending 3 tax laws, while delegate Nguyễn Ngọc Sơn asked that the rules apply from the 2027 tax year to avoid retroactivity. Earlier, on August 24, the National Assembly passed a resolution cutting personal income tax and corporate income tax by 30% for those with revenue of up to VND 10 billion, with 96% of delegates in favour.
- Proposal Says 'One-Person Enterprises' Need Not Have a Chairman or Chief Accountant
A draft Law on the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises, presented to the National Assembly on Oct. 17 by Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn, proposes that 'one-person enterprises' (single-member LLCs owned by an individual) not be required to have a company chairman or chief accountant, to cut costs after converting from household businesses. The draft also proposes shortening registration time, exempting some initial fees, and raising the revenue threshold for the simplified tax method to 10 billion VND per year. SME criteria would be based on average annual employee numbers, capped at 300 workers, 400 billion VND in revenue and 150 billion VND in total capital. The Economic and Finance Committee said these criteria fluctuate yearly and are hard to apply, proposing data from the two to three preceding years, and flagged that setting aside 20 hectares per zone or 5% of land area may be hard to implement.
- Plan to raise the revenue threshold for defining small and medium enterprises to VND 400 billion
The government proposes raising the annual revenue threshold for defining small and medium enterprises to VND 400 billion, up VND 100 billion from current law, and the capital threshold to VND 150 billion. The workforce criterion would be replaced by an average annual workforce of no more than 300 people. The draft Law on Development of Small and Medium Enterprises, submitted to the National Assembly by Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn on October 17, proposes a lower-than-standard corporate income tax rate, a three-year corporate income tax exemption from the first business registration certificate, and simpler tax calculation methods for businesses and individuals with annual revenue up to VND 10 billion. The National Assembly's Economic and Financial Committee agrees a new law is needed to replace the 2017 law, but says the criteria are impractical because they fluctuate yearly and depend on prior-year financial statements, and recommends using data from the two to three preceding years. The National Assembly will debate the draft on October 30 and vote on adoption on November 20.
- Proposal to raise revenue threshold for defining small and medium enterprises to VND 400 billion
The Government has proposed raising the annual revenue threshold for defining small and medium enterprises to VND 400 billion, up VND 100 billion from current law, in a draft Law on SME Development presented to the National Assembly by Finance Minister Ngô Văn Tuấn. The draft also sets a criterion of no more than 300 average annual employees, replacing the current 200 social-insurance-enrolled workers, and total capital of no more than VND 150 billion. The group would get a lower corporate income tax rate, a 3-year corporate income tax exemption from the first business registration certificate, and simplified accounting and tax procedures for micro enterprises. The National Assembly's Economic and Financial Committee said the criteria change every year and are hard to apply, and recommended using data from the previous 2-3 years. The National Assembly is expected to adopt the law on November 20.

- Tech stocks had a nice oversold bounce on Monday. Earnings this week will determine if it's for real
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite rallied Monday as AI and chip stocks rebounded, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) on pace to snap a nine-day slump and the iShares MSCI South Korea ETF (EWY) up 4%. Last week, the S&P 500 fell nearly 2%, its worst weekly decline since late June, while the Nasdaq Composite dropped 4.5%. Whether the rebound lasts will depend largely on results from big tech names such as Meta and Tesla, as well as SpaceX, which reports after the bell Tuesday. Of the 47 S&P 500 companies that have reported third-quarter results, 85% have beaten expectations, but most tech earnings are still to come. Sameer Samana of Wells Fargo Investment Institute sees the AI selloff as a 'reality check' rather than a full-blown unraveling, though pressure may last through the midterms.
- Inflation Just Spooked the Market -- But There's Still Good News for Patient Investors
The September CPI rose 0.6% from the prior month and 3.7% year over year, up from 0.4% and 3.4% in the previous report, raising the odds of Federal Reserve rate hikes and pushing the S&P 500 down 1.1% that day. The author argues such swings are daily noise: so far in 2026, the S&P 500 has fallen more than 1% 18 times and gained more than 1% on 19 occasions. In a hypothetical example, $10,000 put into the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) in October 2006 grew to $56,170 in share price terms, or $80,970 with dividends reinvested, despite a drop of more than 50% after the subprime crash, a COVID-19 plunge and the 2022 inflation crisis. Adjusted for inflation, $10,000 in October 2006 equals about $16,697 today, so the position is well ahead of inflation.
- Largest securities firm lends over US$2 billion
TCBS, the largest securities firm in the market, had margin lending balances of about VND 54,739 billion, up 25.6% from the start of the year, with nearly all of it (about VND 54,400 billion) used for margin. Lending was the main growth driver in the third quarter, accounting for 44% of revenue, or VND 1,561 billion, while total revenue reached VND 3,534 billion, up nearly 12%. Third-quarter pre-tax profit was VND 2,152 billion, up 6.3% and the highest ever, and nine-month pre-tax profit reached VND 5,708 billion, or 76% of the full-year plan. As of September 30, total assets were nearly VND 97,000 billion, and the margin lending-to-equity ratio stood at 1.15 times, below the 2 times regulatory limit. TCBS is a subsidiary of Techcombank, which owns nearly 80% of it, and currently leads the sector in charter capital, margin loan balances and market capitalization.
- XRP Ledger Repairs Its Lending Protocol Before It Goes Live
XRP Ledger developers are patching the new lending protocol before launch with a follow-up amendment, LendingProtocolV1_1, to fix the original LendingProtocol while it remains in the network's voting queue. The protocol enables on-chain, fixed-term, uncollateralized loans from pooled funds, relying on off-chain underwriting and "first-loss capital" to absorb defaults. The move follows a near-miss, in which a payment-engine bug that could have let an attacker mint counterfeit XRP sat dormant for years before being flagged and fixed. Amendments must earn support from at least 80% of trusted validators over a two-week period before activating.
- Dems target Zillow - style co - marketing ; review RESPA exposure
Two Democratic senators, Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren, asked the FTC last week to investigate "anticompetitive and deceptive" practices by dominant real estate platforms, heavily alluding to Zillow. They say platform-affiliated agents often steer buyers to affiliated lenders with higher rates and worse loan terms, without disclosing referral fees or commission-sharing arrangements, and criticize the anticompetitive use of private listings. The FTC sued Redfin and Zillow last year over Zillow's $100 million payment for Redfin to shutter its apartment listings, and the sides reached a deal in August. The letter cites a national median home price of around $440,600 per NAR this summer, and notes that rates once under 6% are now in the 7% range. The article suggests mortgage lenders with co-marketing or referral ties to such platforms may want to review their RESPA exposure; neither the FTC nor Zillow responded to requests for comment.
- How Import Tariffs Could Impact Kansas Grocery Bills
Many staple foods in U.S. kitchens, such as coffee, orange juice, fruit, seafood, beef and chocolate, rely heavily on imports, making grocery prices sensitive to trade policy. The article cites Federal Reserve research finding that the tariffs imposed in 2025 gradually pushed up retail prices as higher import costs passed through supply chains. After the Supreme Court invalidated IEEPA tariffs in February 2026, a temporary 10% Section 122 surcharge expired in July 2026 and was replaced by Section 301 tariffs of 10% to 12.5%. According to the Penn Wharton Budget Model, the average effective tariff rate was 6.7% as of July 2026, nearly triple the 2.3% before Trump returned to office in January 2025. The U.S. imported over $219 billion in agricultural products in 2025, many of which cannot be grown domestically at sufficient scale.
