The Politburo's conclusion, issued by Permanent Member of the Party Secretariat Trần Cẩm Tú, calls for improving the system of job positions within the political system, linked to building cadre teams and managing staffing quotas. It requires gradually renewing evaluation mechanisms and pay and benefit policies based on job position, capacity and results, overcoming equal or across-the-board treatment and the tendency to favor rank, grade and seniority over work performance. Job positions must be defined by each agency's functions, tasks and outputs, not by current headcount, grades or quotas. The conclusion also bars mechanical application of staffing norms or average downsizing rates and calls for clearly delineated responsibilities among agencies to avoid overlap.

On the morning of 18/10, Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh, on behalf of the Prime Minister, reported on implementing National Assembly Resolution 66/2013 and concluding investment in the Ho Chi Minh Highway, a 3,183 km route from Pac Bo (Cao Bang) to Dat Mui (Ca Mau). The project is expected to be substantially completed end to end at a minimum 2-lane scale by the end of this year, using National Highways 32 and 21. So far, 2,488 of the 2,744 km main route is complete, 168.5 km across three projects is under construction, and 777.5 km has been upgraded to expressway standard. The National Assembly's Committee on Science, Technology and Environment said the project is 6 years behind the 2020 target, with the Rach Soi - Ben Nhat and Go Quao - Vinh Thuan sections pushed to Q1/2027. The committee urged the government to reconcile project data, quantify extra costs from the delays, and assign responsibility to each agency.
- Ho Chi Minh City Party chief urges businesses to pay Tết bonuses in November or December
Ho Chi Minh City Party Secretary Trần Lưu Quang said the city encourages businesses to pay Tết bonuses in November or December 2026, so workers can shop early and avoid last-minute rushes. Instead of simply displaying goods, the city aims to put money in people's hands through e-commerce, digital commerce, the MoMo e-wallet and buy-now-pay-later credit packages with banks, alongside major music and entertainment events. He said hotels, shops and food stalls at Bến Thành Market have grown busier, though no detailed statistics are yet available, and many large hotels will cut room rates until year-end. The city is auctioning land plots worth over VND 90,000 billion but will hold off on sales if prices fall short of expectations, saving resources for 2027 and beyond. It is also speeding up public investment disbursement and capital for BT projects.
- HCMC Party Secretary Trần Lưu Quang: city is carefully gathering resources to achieve double-digit growth
At a National Assembly group session on October 18, HCMC Party Secretary Trần Lưu Quang said the city is carefully mobilizing resources to achieve double-digit GRDP growth, while stressing sustainable growth rather than growth at any cost. The government assigned the city a 10.2% growth target; after nine months it has reached 9.06%, so it would need 13.23% growth in the fourth quarter. To boost demand, the city plans to use e-commerce and e-wallets for buy-now-pay-later purchases, encourage firms to pay Tết bonuses in November and December, and push public investment disbursement. NA Chairman Trần Thanh Mẫn noted that private investment accounts for only 53% of total capital and unrecovered advances remain around 37%. Associate Professor Trần Hoàng Ngân proposed State Bank refinancing so banks can fund long-term loans, arguing that real lending rates of 4.5-5% are too high for businesses.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet

- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
