The article describes fans singing along, chanting member names, and calling G-DRAGON 'anh Long' in a uniquely Vietnamese fan tradition, while G-DRAGON, TAEYANG and DAESUNG constantly interacted with the crowd. VPBank served as co-organizer and main sponsor, preparing for months and building a series of experiences from before the concert through both nights. The article says the scale and success of the event set a new standard for international concerts in Vietnam.

- From Bank to Experience Creator: “Leave the Big Shows to VPBank”
VPBank is acting as local promoter, alongside AEG Presents Asia and Carpa and in partnership with YG Entertainment, to bring the BIGBANG 2026–2027 World Tour to Hanoi, with two nights at Mỹ Đình drawing nearly 90,000 fans. The article describes this as VPBank's fourth consecutive major entertainment partnership, following two 2025 G-Dragon events and the T1 esports event featuring Faker, and notes its earlier backing of acts such as Richard Clayderman, Kenny G, Westlife and K-pop festivals over more than a decade. It presents this as part of a long-term strategy to build emotional connections with customers, in line with VPBank's “For a Prosperous Vietnam” positioning, and as a way to raise Vietnam's profile on the international entertainment map.
- First Private Bank to Exceed VND 200,000 Billion in Owners' Equity
VPBank has become the first private bank to surpass VND 200,000 billion in owners' equity, reaching VND 200,078 billion in its Q3/2026 financial report, up VND 8,863 billion in the quarter alone and nearly VND 19,800 billion since the start of the year. Vietcombank passed this level first in the system in 2025, VietinBank reached VND 200,214 billion as of June 30, 2026, and Techcombank stood at VND 197,325 billion at the end of Q3. The growth of the two private banks comes mainly from retained profits: in the first nine months of 2026, VPBank's pre-tax profit was nearly VND 30,000 billion, up about 47%, while Techcombank's reached VND 28,915 billion, up 23.7%. The article notes that charter capital makes up only about 36% and 40% of owners' equity at Techcombank and VPBank, and that stock dividends do not increase owners' equity.

VPBankS (HoSE: VPX) reached margin and advance lending balances of nearly VND 40,000 billion by the end of Q3/2026, up 4% from the previous quarter and 17% year-to-date, ranking second across the industry. The company has recorded eight consecutive quarters of balance growth; over nine months, pre-tax profit reached VND 3,516 billion, up 8%, and total revenue was nearly VND 10,600 billion. Amid high interest rates and volatile markets, it offers margin packages including V86 at rates from 8.6% per year for 90 days, V30 with preferential limits up to VND 30 billion, and eMargin Turbo for short-term trades. Owner's equity reached nearly VND 36,300 billion, alongside a USD 200 million syndicated loan in the first half and a USD 150 million syndicated loan arranged by SMBC, which support these packages.
- Momentum of savings rate increases likely ended
According to newly released State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) data, average deposit rates at commercial banks rose a further 0.1 percentage points in September, extending the upward run to 11 consecutive months, though the pace has slowed from 0.3 points a month in late last year and early this year. The article says the rise is likely to end this month after many banks cut their minimum deposit rates by 0.5 percentage points on SBV instructions. Under dispatch No. 9736/NHNN-CSTT dated 21 October 2026, the SBV requires commercial banks to cut average deposit rates on new transactions with tenors of 6 months or longer by at least 0.5% per year in the final months of 2026, compared with rates reported between 11 October and 20 October 2026. Many analysts expect rates to hold flat until year-end and decline gradually from 2027, while the SBV warns that banks failing to comply could face tougher measures, including reviewing or lowering credit growth targets.
- State Bank of Vietnam creates mechanism to exclude VND 1.7 million billion from credit growth limits
The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) has set a mechanism to exclude from, or add to, credit growth limits for commercial banks financing 35 large, key projects with total borrowing needs of about VND 1.7 million billion, aiming for two-digit economic growth. At a conference in Ho Chi Minh City on 23 October 2026, Deputy Director Nguyễn Xuân Bắc said total credit across the economy reached over VND 20.7 million billion at end-September 2026, up 11.7% from end-2025. Credit in the Southeast region was nearly VND 6.8 million billion, about 35% of national outstanding loans and up 10.93%, and 15 projects there needed around VND 757 thousand billion in borrowing. Governor Phạm Đức Ấn stressed the goal of unlocking financial and banking resources for growth in the Southeast region over 2026–2030.
- 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.

- Boeing is set to report earnings before the bell. Here's what Wall Street expects
Boeing will report quarterly results before the market opens Tuesday, with investors focused on how quickly it can increase aircraft production, especially the 737 Max. Consensus estimates from LSEG point to a smaller loss than the $5.34 billion net loss in the same period of 2025, with a loss of 21 cents per share and revenue of $23.84 billion expected. Boeing currently produces about 47 737 Max planes a month and aims for more, but CEO Kelly Ortberg said stabilizing output is taking longer than expected, with an increase planned for next year. The FAA recently approved the 737 Max 10, the largest model in the Max family, following the 737 Max 7 approval in August.
- Galloper Gold Intersects Occurrences of Visible Gold

- Wall Street Has a New Blockbuster Stock Split Coming in 2027 -- It's an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stock That's Up 1,615% in 14 Years
Meta Platforms (META) said it will carry out a 2-for-1 stock split on January 19, 2027 and create a non-voting Class C common stock, which would help co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg keep his voting control, currently more than 60%. The securities filing says that if he sold some Class B shares to cover a possible tax under California's Proposition 40, a one-time 5% wealth tax on residents with a net worth above $1 billion, his voting control could fall to roughly 53%. Meta also said the Class C shares could help fund its growth without diluting Zuckerberg's voting power, as it plans $135 billion to $145 billion of AI capex this year and reported negative free cash flow in the third quarter. A JPMorgan analyst wrote that Meta should raise capital sooner rather than later to remove an overhang on the stock.
