- Banks cut deposit rates but borrowing costs remain high
Vietnamese banks have begun cutting deposit rates under a State Bank of Vietnam directive, with over 20 banks reducing rates as of October 22, though lending rates remain high. SBV Governor Phạm Đức Ấn asked banks to cut lending rates by 1.5-2 percentage points a year for production, business and priority sectors, and deposit rates by at least 0.5 percentage points for terms of six months or longer. Banks that fail to comply could face lower credit growth targets, and the central bank will monitor average rates on new transactions in the final months of 2026. As of end-September, average individual lending rates ranged from 7.73 per cent at BIDV to 11.38 per cent at OCB. Expert Nguyễn Đức Độ said high funding costs remain a major obstacle and suggested transparent interest subsidies funded by the state budget.

- For the first time in more than a decade, the Russian Navy disappears from the Mediterranean
According to an anonymous NATO official cited by Breaking Defense, no Russian Navy warships were present in the Mediterranean from early July to early September, the first time in more than a decade. Reasons cited include losing access to a key base in the region, the need to protect shadow fleet vessels elsewhere, and a shortage of tankers and support ships to sustain a large force deployed over long periods. Destroyers deployed in the English Channel rely on Amur-class repair ships, which are designed for spare parts and repairs rather than resupply, so cargo must be transferred between vessels, which a NATO official called genuinely dangerous. Professor Basil Germont of Lancaster University said Russia's limited surface fleet is increasingly being redirected to protect strategically important commercial vessels. However, he warned against concluding that Russia will give up key sea routes in the Mediterranean, calling this only a temporary withdrawal.

- Bulgaria Votes for President as Concerns Grow over Black Sea Attacks
Bulgarians vote in a presidential election on Sunday, with President Iliana Iotova, 62, leading polls with an expected 41–47% of the vote; she opposes military aid to Ukraine and favours dialogue with Moscow. Her main challenger, Andrey Gyurov, a former caretaker prime minister backed by the pro-Western opposition, is polling at 28–31%, while Kostadin Kostadinov of the pro-Russian far-right Vazrazhdane party is third on 10–13%. If she wins the runoff set for November 1, Iotova would be the first woman ever elected president of the country of 6.4 million people. The vote comes as four vessels were struck off Bulgaria's coast this month, leaving 21 people missing, though the government says there is so far no evidence directly linking Moscow to the attacks.
