Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Pham Gia Tuc met the Tay Ninh Provincial Party Committee on socio-economic development in the first nine months of 2026 and measures for the rest of the year. Tay Ninh's GRDP grew 10.3% over nine months, ranking 10th of 34 provinces and cities and first in the South, with industry and construction up 14% and the industrial production index up 15.02%. Import-export turnover exceeded $27 billion, with a trade surplus of about $4.04 billion, and the province expects full-year growth of at least 10.3%. However, some businesses still face difficulties, public investment disbursement is slow, and many projects are held up by land clearance, resettlement and procedures. Tay Ninh asked the central government for help with transport infrastructure, energy and border-gate policies, and 4 of the 10 recommendations raised in July have been resolved.

Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Van Thang has asked the State Bank to cut lending rates by 1.5-2% for production, business and priority sectors, and made the Governor directly responsible for implementation.

Although state-owned banks advertise average rates of about 7.4-7.6%, a VnExpress survey found Big4 banks actually lend at 9-10.5%, and some private banks charge up to 12%.

- Salazar Resources to Begin Drilling the Yumi Gold-Silver Veins at Tarqui, with Porphyry Drilling Planned at Monja, Ecuador
Salazar Resources closed a $3,500,000 non-brokered private placement announced on October 8, 2026, and outlined its exploration plan. Phase 1 is about 1,500 metres of drilling in five holes at the Yumi gold-silver veins on its 100%-owned Tarqui project, with drilling expected to begin in late October 2026, and the veins have not previously been drilled. Selective rock-chip samples returned 105 g/t Au and 1,038 g/t Ag, and historical BHP holes intersected porphyry-style mineralization nearby, which the company interprets as lying on the periphery of a porphyry center not yet located. Phase 2 contemplates up to about 3,500 metres of drilling in four holes at the 100%-owned Monja copper-gold porphyry target from the first quarter of 2027, subject to surface access and permits. A soil survey of about 895 samples is also planned at Quimi, part of the Tarqui-Quimi project.
