• Construction Minister: Social housing cannot be resold at market price after 5 years

  Construction Minister Trần Hồng Minh said social housing is a humanitarian policy supporting low-income people, so after 5 years it cannot be resold at market price and must be sold to the eligible beneficiaries to prevent policy abuse. Most National Assembly deputies supported the policy but asked for controls on selling prices after 5 years, while some proposed that owners transfer only to investors, who would then resell to buyers. Current social housing prices range from VND 15-29 million per m2 depending on the locality, reflecting construction, infrastructure and interest costs. From now to 2030, localities are assigned 899,857 units for development, including 191,023 rental units; Ho Chi Minh City has the highest target at 181,257 units. The National Assembly will vote on the draft Law on Housing (amended) on November 21, and if passed, it takes effect July 1, 2027.

• Deputy proposes refunds for social housing buyers if unreasonable costs are found

  Deputy Nguyen Ngoc Son (Hai Phong delegation) commented on the draft amended Housing Law at the afternoon session on Oct. 28, agreeing with social housing development and management rules but asking for clarity on how prices are set. Under the draft, investors can build the project themselves or hire consultants to verify prices before approval, and must audit and settle investment costs after acceptance. Son proposed publicly disclosing the components of sale and rental prices, independent post-audits by risk level, and a duty to refund buyers when costs are unreasonable or invalid. He also called for income criteria tied to local prices and living costs, linking housing data with land and population data to curb speculation and misuse, and shifting from boosting supply to meeting residents' ability to pay.

• Professor Dang Hung Vo: Taxing idle real estate at 1-5% a year would be enough to deter

  The government has proposed a 0.2% tax rate on idle or slow-to-develop land and property, with no quota applied. Professor Dang Hung Vo, former Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, argues that 0.2% is too low to deter and says rates of 1%, 2%, 3% or 5% a year are needed. He calls for clear criteria to define idle property, linked data to identify each owner's holdings, and possibly a separate property tax law. He says idle property will eventually be taxed, in 5, 7 or 10 years, given the direction set in Resolution 18 of 2022 and Resolution 21. He also urges a shift away from treating property as a place to store money, so that capital moves into production and business services.

• From 2027, the following cases will not be allowed to transfer Red Book (Sổ đỏ) land certificates: residents should take note!

  Under Article 45 of the 2024 Land Law, transferring a Red Book (Sổ đỏ) through sale, lease, inheritance or gift requires a complete land certificate, land free of disputes (or disputes resolved by an effective court judgment or decision), no seizure or enforcement measures, and remaining land-use term. Individuals' protection-forest and special-use forest land cannot be transferred, especially in strictly protected or ecological restoration zones, unless the land use is changed under an approved plan. Economic organisations cannot receive transfers of protection or special-use forest land (except under an approved plan), and individuals not living in the forest area cannot receive land in those protected zones. Communities, religious organisations, overseas Vietnamese and foreign-invested organisations also cannot receive transfers or gifts where the law does not allow it.

• Draft Housing Law (amended): Tightening conditions for transferring social housing

  The Government's draft amended Housing Law tightens rules on reselling social housing after 5 years to prevent policy exploitation. Under the draft, once the full purchase price is paid and 5 years have passed, owners may resell social housing only to people eligible for social housing support, whereas the current law allows market-based transfers with no restriction on buyers. For rent-to-own social housing, a tenant who no longer needs the unit may have to terminate the contract and return the home, rather than transfer it freely as under current rules. Sales, rent-to-own and lease transactions for social housing would also need to be recorded in the national housing and real estate market information and database system.

• A week of 35 draft laws and an “unprecedented” pace in institutional reform

  Since the National Assembly session opened, the government has submitted 35 draft laws along with a report on implementing Resolution No. 206/2025/QH15, and about 60 laws were discussed over roughly one week. The government expects to submit 78 laws and resolutions for Assembly approval in 2026, focusing on tax exemptions and reductions, land resources, social housing and support for private enterprises. According to the report, the review abolished 56 conditional business sectors and lines of trade, cut 697 administrative procedures, and reduced compliance time by 53% and compliance costs by 55%, saving about VND 23 trillion per year. The draft amendment to the Law on Real Estate Business removes the registration procedure for apartment sales contracts, moving them to public disclosure on the Housing and Real Estate Market Information System.

• Your fridge could one day stake Ether, launch memecoins: CFTC chair

  CFTC Chair Michael Selig said autonomous AI agents could challenge financial rules built around human traders, and regulators need to adapt. At the agency's inaugural Frontier Forum in Washington, he offered the example of a refrigerator buying groceries with money earned from staking Ether, or even launching its own memecoin. An eToro survey found that 79% of U.S. millennial investors and 77% of Gen Z investors already used or were open to using AI to select or adjust their investments. Selig raised questions about whether AI agent developers would need to register, who would be liable if an agent went rogue, and whether a new know-your-agent (KYA) standard is needed. He also said AI could help smaller traders access risk management tools, but agents could react unexpectedly, similar models could create correlated trading behavior, and the speed of autonomous transactions could complicate market surveillance.

• Asian currencies mixed as dollar steadies after Fed hold, PCE eyed

  Asian currencies traded mixed on Thursday as the dollar steadied after the Fed held rates, with investors awaiting U.S. inflation data and policy decisions in Europe and Japan. The Fed kept its policy rate at 3.75%-4.00% in a 10-2 vote, and Chair Kevin Warsh expressed confidence inflation could return to the 2% target without significantly slowing growth, though he offered little clarity on a possible December hike. Markets still priced a 78% probability of a December increase, according to the CME FedWatch tool. The yen edged higher ahead of the Bank of Japan's decision, expected to keep its rate at 1.25%, while the New Zealand dollar fell as much as 1.7% to around $0.5585 after the RBNZ unexpectedly held its cash rate at 2.75%, before steadying at $0.5622.

• Asia stocks fall as Alphabet, Samsung results disappoint; more tech earnings loom

  Asian stocks fell on Thursday as disappointing results from Alphabet and a sell-off in Samsung Electronics weighed on tech shares. Alphabet shares slumped about 10% in after-hours trading after results missed expectations and signalled heavy AI infrastructure spending, while Microsoft gained about 3%. South Korea's KOSPI fell about 3% as Samsung Electronics (KS:005930) dropped nearly 6% despite record third-quarter earnings, on a semiconductor profit miss and no immediate details on extra shareholder returns. Samsung's mobile unit posted an 800 billion won operating loss on higher memory costs. The KOSPI had rallied nearly 7% on Wednesday after SK Hynix (KS:000660) jumped 11% on strong profit and a 100 trillion won ($75 billion) shareholder-return plan.

• Nvidia Shareholders Have a Major Reason to Be Bullish After Jensen Huang's Latest Announcement

  At Nvidia's GTC conference in Berlin from October 20 to 22, CEO Jensen Huang unveiled server racks combining 72 next-generation Vera Rubin GPUs, 256 custom language processing unit chips and Vera CPUs, designed to help data centres become “AI factories”. Nvidia says its sales opportunity per gigawatt of compute has risen from $18 billion with Hopper to $25 billion with Blackwell and $40 billion with Vera Rubin, aided by CPU integration that targets AI inference. Huang estimated a 1-gigawatt AI factory costs operators about $50 billion to set up and could generate roughly $40 billion in annual revenue, while a three-month delay in bringing one online could forfeit $10 billion in potential sales. The article calls this a bullish development for shareholders, though concerns about an AI valuation bubble have caused volatility across the sector.

• Vietnam's public debt is around 34% of GDP

  Prime Minister Lê Minh Hưng said at a dialogue with WEF CEO Stephan Mergenthaler at the Autumn Economic Forum 2026 in Ho Chi Minh City on 28 October that Vietnam's public debt is about 34% of GDP, leaving fiscal room to support people and businesses during economic shocks and to fund strategic infrastructure. He outlined five measures to strengthen resilience: keeping political and social stability and macroeconomic fundamentals sound; improving institutions and legal frameworks; building modern infrastructure and promoting science, technology and digital transformation; reforming education and vocational training; and broadening foreign relations. Vietnam aims to become an emerging hub for digital technology, new energy, green energy and green agriculture by 2035, and a reliable link in regional and global supply chains.
