- Director of the HCMC Institute of Economics, Natural Resources and Environment: Four major corporations have raised plans to invest in Vietnam, but pulled back when asked about power capacity
At a seminar co-organized by Tien Phong newspaper and the HCMC Department of Construction on October 16, TS. Phạm Viết Thuận said the city should treat infrastructure as an integrated system rather than focusing only on transport. He argued that 11 main and 13 secondary infrastructure categories, including power, water drainage, industrial zones and logistics, need to be synchronized for the city to develop its economy. To address flooding, he proposed surveying 159 flood-prone points and building ecological lakes at major spots. He also noted that four large corporations had considered investing in Vietnam but withdrew when asked about grid power capacity. Department director Trần Quang Lâm said capital mobilization and land policy need further study, while traffic congestion, flooding and pollution remain the city’s top priorities.

- Latest Progress on the VND147,000-Billion High-Speed Rail Line Invested by Vingroup
The Hanoi - Quang Ninh high-speed railway, about 120 km long, is being developed by Vinspeed as investor, with a total investment of about 147,370 billion VND, excluding about 10,270 billion VND in compensation, support and resettlement costs.

Quang Ninh has handed over about 82% of the site (226.88 ha), with 46.53 ha remaining, but relocation of technical infrastructure is behind schedule, with Dong Mai ward reaching only 43%. The investor and localities are stepping up coordination, focusing on resolving land, resettlement, and the relocation of power and telecommunications systems.
- Rising domestic capital needs push Vietnamese banks to seek funding from international markets
Credit growth is outpacing deposit mobilisation, prompting Vietnamese banks to expand syndicated loans, bilateral loans and planned international bond issuance to raise medium- and long-term funds. Nguyễn Thanh Tùng, chairman of Vietcombank, said reaching GDP growth of 10% or more would require an investment rate of about 40% of GDP, while domestic savings average only 36.5%. As of end-September 2026, system deposits reached VND 19.5 quadrillion (up 10.7%) and credit reached over VND 20.7 quadrillion (up 11.7%). Infrastructure financing needs for 2026–2030 are estimated at about USD 450 billion, versus roughly USD 3.9 billion mobilised through bonds and equity in 2021–2025. HDBank's USD 721 million syndicated loan, about 60% above its initial USD 450 million target, is one example of banks tapping international funding.

- Proposal to allow hospitals to use patents as loan collateral
Deputy Nguyễn Lân Hiếu, director of Bệnh viện Đại học Y Hà Nội, proposed allowing hospitals to use patents and trademarks as capital contributions or loan collateral to strengthen their autonomy. Speaking during the National Assembly's debate on the amended Law on Intellectual Property on November 3, he proposed that changes such as new salt forms, formulations or dosages of known substances not be considered inventive unless they significantly improve treatment efficacy. He also proposed that domestic firms be allowed to file generic drug registrations while the original patent is still valid, as otherwise they could wait 2-3 years after the patent expires before selling. On AI and copyright, he proposed that AI cannot be an author, that doctors and lecturers be authors while hospitals and universities own the rights when state budgets are used, with at least 40-50% of profits shared with authors. Deputy Nguyễn Trung Kiên of Đồng Nai agreed and urged digital platforms to handle copyright infringement notices and promptly remove or block infringing content, noting that blocked sites often reappear under new domains.

- BlackRock’s IBIT sees biggest Bitcoin ETF outflows since June
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) recorded 405.3 million USD in net outflows on Monday, its largest daily outflow since June 26, as US spot Bitcoin ETFs opened November with 398.6 million USD in net withdrawals, according to Farside Investors. Fidelity's Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC) attracted 6.7 million USD, partly offsetting the outflows. The funds had recorded 515 million USD in net outflows in October and about 38 million USD so far in 2026. Bitcoin briefly fell below 76,400 USD, its lowest since August, amid broader volatility following the 6.3 billion USD Binance hack. US spot Ether ETFs also saw about 140 million USD in net outflows, extending their losing streak to six trading days after a record 1.61 billion USD in monthly outflows in October. Brickken CEO Edwin Mata said the outflows should not be read as a rejection of digital assets, as investors reduce exposure when uncertainty rises.
- Vietnam's import-export turnover tops US$1,000 billion for first time, a record high
In the first 10 months of 2026, Vietnam's total goods import-export turnover was a preliminary US$1,010.55 billion, up 32.3% year on year, surpassing US$1,000 billion for the first time and reaching a record high. Exports rose 27.5% and imports 37.4%, leaving a goods trade deficit of US$12.07 billion; in October alone, the country posted a US$7.31 billion trade surplus, its second consecutive monthly surplus this year. The United States was the largest export market at US$159.40 billion, while China was the largest import source at US$212.46 billion. Nguyen Anh Son, Director of the Import-Export Department under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, attributed the result to a recovery in domestic production, the FDI sector and free trade agreements, and called for better growth quality.
- Nvidia tells data center partners to limit China sales- FT
According to the Financial Times, citing five people familiar with the matter, Nvidia has told its data center partners to reduce their exposure to Chinese customers. Cloud computing clients must now sell at least 51% of their services to non-Chinese companies, a restriction that did not exist before. The instructions were conveyed verbally through Nvidia's sales force and regional teams rather than in writing. The move complicates AI development for Chinese firms that have leased overseas computing capacity, including for model training, as Washington tightens Chinese access to advanced chips through cloud deals. The report also notes that Nvidia chips have been smuggled into China despite U.S. restrictions since at least 2022, and several senior Super Micro employees were charged earlier this year with smuggling about $2.5 billion worth of Nvidia AI servers to China.
