At a seminar on October 22, Dr. Cấn Văn Lực of BIDV estimated that achieving double-digit growth in 2026-2030 requires roughly 280-300 billion USD of capital per year, with total social investment needing to grow 13-15% annually. From 2020 through September 2026, bank credit still accounted for more than 50% of the economy's total capital, while the capital market, including stocks and corporate bonds, made up only about 14-15%, or 23-24% including government bonds. Economist Phùng Tiến Đông argued that bank credit and the capital market, especially corporate bonds, should complement each other, and that long-term investors such as investment funds must be developed. Under Decision 1413 dated 27/7/2026, the target is to raise capital-market mobilization to 28-30% of total social investment by 2030 and 30-35% by 2045.

- How Can the Capital Market Share the Burden with Banks?
Dragon Capital estimates Vietnam needs about 1,460 billion USD in total investment over 2026-2030, nearly double the previous period, to keep GDP growth above 10% a year, while credit already stands at about 145% of GDP. The funding gap of 120-150 billion USD per year should be filled through stocks, corporate bonds, government bonds and other long-term sources, since bank credit currently provides 82.8% of the economy's funding, compared with about 4.1% from equities and 13.1% from bonds. ADB Chief Economist Bùi Minh Giáp says the goal is not to shrink banks' role but to build complementary capital channels, as heavy reliance on credit could fuel inflation and asset quality risks. State Securities Commission Deputy Chairman Bùi Hoàng Hải says FTSE Russell's upgrade of Vietnam's stock market to secondary emerging status from September 21 can attract capital, but lasting appeal depends on the market's genuine operating quality and that of listed companies.
- Building the stock market into a channel for long-term capital formation
Mr. Vu Chi Dung of the State Securities Commission said Vietnam's stock market now has over 300 listed stocks, over 800 UPCoM-registered stocks, market capitalization near 80% of GDP and nearly 14 million trading accounts, and FTSE added Vietnamese stocks to its emerging market index on September 18. The article argues that attracting foreign capital is only the first step, with priorities including completing the central counterparty (CCP) clearing system, cutting administrative procedures by 30%, and improving transparency such as English-language disclosure and ESG reporting. ASIFMA's Lyndon Chao urged that CCP be implemented to proper standards rather than rushed, while Dragon Capital's Johan Nyvene questioned why companies still rely mainly on bank loans instead of issuing shares or bonds. He noted that individual investors account for 85–90% of daily trading value, and corporate governance gaps can derail deals with institutional investors. The piece calls for building a domestic long-term capital base alongside better corporate governance.
- Sharply cuts plan for government bond issuance
The State Treasury has cut its planned auction-based government bond issuance from 500,000 billion VND to 400,000 billion VND, announced on October 12 at the Hanoi Stock Exchange. Planned issuance for the final quarter is 100,000 billion VND, with 10-year bonds accounting for half. So far this year the Treasury has raised 316,000 billion VND, about 80% of its annual target under the revised plan, compared with 63% under the original plan, while last year it reached only 74% of its 500,000 billion VND goal. The 10-year auction yield hovers around 4.43%, the highest since 2023. Yuanta Vietnam expects greater capital needs for public investment and infrastructure, while bank lending room is narrowing as credit outstanding exceeds 145% of GDP.

- History Says This ETF Could Be the Biggest Winner of the Stock Market Sell-Off
Despite a volatile 2026, the Nasdaq-100 and S&P 500 are up 14.6% and 11.7% year to date. The Vanguard Information Technology ETF (VGT), the largest tech fund at $149 billion, rebounded sharply after the initial sell-off when the war in Iran began, though the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index entered a bear market in July. Chipmakers and equipment companies make up 43.6% of the fund, which is still up 28% this year. The article argues that the Federal Reserve's high interest rates in its fight against inflation could be one factor behind the next correction. CoreWeave (CRWV) is in a bear market as yields on its corporate debt have surged over concerns about its debt load, while VGT, which holds 318 stocks, offers broad exposure with a 0.09% expense ratio, or $9 on a $10,000 stake.
- UK banks face 10,000 complaints in 3 months over crypto restrictions
Advocacy group Stand With Crypto recorded 10,092 complaints from 9,800 individuals about UK bank restrictions on crypto transactions over a 90-day period. Lloyds Banking Group drew the most complaints with 2,297 (23%), followed by Barclays with 1,569 and NatWest with 1,278. The data is voluntary, not adjusted for market share, and not representative of all customers. Stand With Crypto argues blanket bans, rigid limits and unclear policies could impede access to regulated exchanges and undermine the UK’s goal of becoming a global crypto hub. Katie Harries of Coinbase cited research by the UK Cryptoasset Business Council showing 40% of attempted transfers to FCA-registered exchanges were blocked or delayed over the preceding 12 months, and banks with published limits accounted for 61% of complaints.
- Why look at real assets into 2027?
UBS favors real assets, including commodities, infrastructure and property, for 2027 because AI is boosting demand for data centers, electricity and power infrastructure. Electrification, energy security and supply-chain realignment are also driving spending on power, industrial capacity and infrastructure, which could support industrial commodities. In property, reduced development has limited new supply, making data centers, senior housing, multifamily housing and high-quality offices well positioned. Gold plays a different role, as fiscal uncertainty, geopolitical shocks and inflation concerns could support demand for it as a store of value and hedge. Higher interest rates or tighter financing could weigh on infrastructure and real estate valuations and raise refinancing costs.
- Can GE Vernova's Gas Turbines Make Up for a Collapsing Wind Business?
GE Vernova's wind power equipment revenue fell 11% year over year to $2 billion in Q2, and wind turbine orders dropped 40%. Gas turbine revenue rose 14% to $5.5 billion, while orders soared 135% to $16.7 billion. Combined orders for gas turbines and the electrification business (transformers and switchgear) reached a record $24.2 billion in Q2. The main constraint is production capacity, which the company is working to address. The article argues gas turbine growth more than offsets the wind decline, and CEO Scott Strazik said only 20% of the power division's backlog comes from data center customers, with the rest from conventional customers such as utilities.
- Saudi Arabia says it intercepted missiles and drones from Iran-backed Houthis
The Saudi-led coalition in Yemen said it intercepted two drones and a ballistic missile heading to Riyadh, plus 10 ballistic missiles aimed at southern Saudi Arabia and a cruise missile toward Khamis Mushait, in Sunday attacks by Iran-aligned Houthis. The Houthis said targets included King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh and Saudi Aramco facilities in Yanbu. The airport resumed operations after suspending on Oct. 10 following a strike that killed at least 13 people. Ongoing fighting and fears of U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran after the Nov. 3 midterms pushed Brent up 3.1% to $116.72 a barrel, its highest settlement since April 29, while WTI rose 3.8% to $103.27.
- As vote nears , Trump AI gamble fuels economic uncertainty
The article argues that President Trump's AI policies could leave the U.S. economy facing considerable risk over the next two years. Independent analyses cited data center infrastructure spending as accounting for nearly all U.S. economic growth last winter and spring, while financiers such as Ray Dalio and Ken Griffin have warned of an AI bubble. The Nasdaq 100 has about 70% of its index weight in AI-dependent companies, and Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff said a 30% or greater stock market drop is entirely plausible. Tariffs have raised costs for chips and components, while federal deficits have pushed up long-term bond rates, adding pressure on heavily indebted AI firms. Economist Servaas Storm said the AI bubble could pop before Trump's presidency ends as rising debt and elevated interest rates prove too much to sustain it.
