VCCI's feedback on the draft petroleum business decree argues that requiring each wholesale distributor to own at least 40 retail stations could push firms to buy independent stations, narrowing retail competition. It proposes judging firms by actual supply, reserves and long-term supply contracts rather than asset ownership. It also says the proposed minimum annual supply of 300,000 m3 from 2027, with registration due before 30/11/2026 while the decree is not yet issued, leaves too little preparation time, and asks for phased application with impact assessment. VCCI further asks to drop the rule treating purchases not resold to market as speculation, and to remove the 30% combined market share threshold.

- Two Views on Asset Seizure and Account Freezing for Commercial Legal Entities
On October 18, the National Assembly received a report on revisions to the draft Criminal Procedure Code, including provisions on prosecuting commercial legal entities and applying asset seizure and account freezing to them. The Standing Committee of the Law and Judicial Committee reported two groups of views. Most support the draft as written, saying it aligns with the draft Criminal Code and the conclusions of the General Secretary and State President, that prosecution is needed to pursue criminal liability, and that these measures help prevent asset dissipation and ensure enforcement. Others argue that the draft Criminal Code does not treat legal entities as offenders, so these provisions should not apply. The draft was revised to say commercial legal entities “bear criminal liability” rather than “commit crimes,” in line with Article 31 of the Constitution.
- Cant be repeated : revolt over card ban blackout
Business groups have demanded an explanation after being kept in the dark for months about a plan by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to stop accepting credit card payments for tax bills. Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino said the government learned of the plan in July, and the ATO decided in late September to proceed when the Reserve Bank’s ban on card surcharges took effect in October. After a backlash from small business, the government will cover card fees until the end of the financial year and has urged the ATO to keep negotiating a transition period with card companies. Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Andrew McKellar said businesses were told only hours before the ban took effect, calling it a deficient policymaking process that “cannot be repeated.” Shadow treasurer Tim Wilson said small businesses should not learn about such decisions in the newspaper.
- Cant be repeated : revolt over card ban blackout
Business groups have demanded an explanation for why they were kept in the dark for months about the Australian Taxation Office's plan to ban credit card payments for tax bills. Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino said the government knew of the plan in July, the ATO decided in late September, and Labor stepped in to cover card fees until the end of the financial year after small business protests. Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Andrew McKellar said the policymaking process “cannot be repeated,” while Industry Minister Tim Ayres rejected the criticism and said reversing the ban was unlikely. Shadow treasurer Tim Wilson argued that small businesses should not learn of such decisions in the newspaper.

- Green SM partners with Elife to bring electric ride-hailing service to global network
Green SM and B2B super-app platform Elife signed a memorandum of understanding to integrate Green SM’s electric ride-hailing service into Elife’s global network, so partners can offer it directly within their own apps. The companies plan to roll out the integration in Southeast Asia, Europe and the US, alongside joint promotions for travellers. Elife’s partner network reaches about 100 million monthly active users, including many international visitors to Vietnam. Market research firm Mordor Intelligence projects the global electric taxi market to grow from USD 29.54 billion in 2025 to USD 110.56 billion by 2031. Since launching in Vietnam in 2023, Green SM has completed about 850 million trips and helped cut more than 800,000 tonnes of carbon emissions.
- Household businesses with revenue of up to VND 10 billion may pay tax based on revenue
The government has proposed letting individuals and household businesses with revenue of up to VND 10 billion choose to pay tax on revenue at rates of 0.5% to 5% depending on the sector, instead of only those under VND 3 billion as now. According to the Ministry of Finance, only 0.14% of the country's 2.7 million household businesses have revenue above VND 10 billion, so 99.86% would be able to choose the simpler method. Businesses with annual revenue of up to VND 10 billion would also be offered a similar choice. The Committee on Economic and Financial Affairs argued that many tax provisions in the draft SME Development Law overlap with existing laws and proposed moving them to a bill amending 3 tax laws, while delegate Nguyễn Ngọc Sơn asked that the rules apply from the 2027 tax year to avoid retroactivity. Earlier, on August 24, the National Assembly passed a resolution cutting personal income tax and corporate income tax by 30% for those with revenue of up to VND 10 billion, with 96% of delegates in favour.

- 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
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- 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.
