At a VCCI forum on October 22, experts said the health of the private sector has not clearly improved, despite Resolution 68 providing momentum. In the first nine months, 149,700 new enterprises were registered, up 3.2% year on year, compared with an 18.9% rise in the same period of 2025, and private corporate income tax revenue also fell. The chairman of the HCMC SME association said small and medium firms still struggle to borrow despite a VND 128,000 billion credit package, while the State Bank's Region 2 office reported SME outstanding loans in HCMC at about VND 1.27 million billion, up 10%. Vietnam aims for 2 million active private enterprises by 2030, contributing 55–58% of GDP. The government submitted the Law on Enterprise Development to the National Assembly on October 17.

As of 30 September, registered FDI into Vietnam reached US$50.36 billion, up 76.4% year on year, while disbursed capital exceeded US$21 billion, up 12.1% and the highest in five years. Samsung Vietnam's Cha Ji Ho said cooperation with local firms will expand from Bắc Ninh and Ho Chi Minh City to Phú Thọ, Hải Phòng and Thái Nguyên, becoming broader, deeper and more systematic. SGS Vietnam's Jackson Woo stressed that domestic suppliers must prove quality, international standards and production stability to join global supply chains, as market size alone cannot substitute for these requirements.

- World's Largest Gold Fund Dumps Over 10 Tonnes of Gold as Prices Slide
SPDR Gold Trust, the world's largest gold fund, continued net selling of nearly 12 tonnes of gold in the 22/10 session, bringing total sales over 2 sessions to nearly 15 tonnes and cutting its holdings to about 1,046 tonnes.
