- SeABank adjusts 2026 business plan and elects new Board Chair
SeABank's Board approved a 15% cut to its 2026 pre-tax profit target, to 6,008 billion VND, in line with government and State Bank of Vietnam directives to support businesses and lower interest rates. The bank will reduce deposit rates by 0.5% to 0.7% per year for terms of 6 months or longer, creating room to lower lending rates with priority for SMEs and green projects. The Board accepted the resignation of Chairman Lê Văn Tần and elected board member Trần Thị Thanh Thủy as Chair for the 2023-2028 term, effective October 22, 2026. Mr. Tần is being proposed as CEO, replacing Lê Quốc Long whose three-year term (11/2023 to 11/2026) is ending, pending approval from the State Bank of Vietnam. Ms. Thủy, born in 1965, previously spent more than 26 years at Vietcombank and joined SeABank in 2015 as Deputy CEO.
- Relatives of SeABank's leadership buy 8 million SSB shares
Mr. Lê Hữu Báu, husband of Ms. Nguyễn Thị Nga (Standing Vice Chairwoman of SeABank's Board), bought 8 million SSB shares on 23 October 2026 via a negotiated trade, raising his ownership from 1.903% to 2.133% of charter capital. In the opposite direction, Ms. Nga's son, Mr. Lê Tuấn Anh, sold 673,500 shares between 23 September and 22 October 2026, out of 8 million shares registered for sale; the sale was not fully completed because market conditions were unsuitable. Separately, SeABank distributed 40 million ESOP shares to 481 employees at VND 10,000 per share, raising VND 400 billion; charter capital rose from VND 34,288 billion to VND 34,688 billion.

SeABank has cut its 2026 pre-tax profit target by 15% to VND 6,008 billion, down about VND 1,060 billion from the previous implied level of roughly VND 7,068 billion.

On leadership, the board approved Chairman Lê Văn Tần's resignation, and he is being prepared for submission to the State Bank of Vietnam for appointment as General Director, replacing Lê Quốc Long at the end of his term.

- Eight banks revealed plans to raise 5.4 billion USD
SSI Research forecasts that eight banks plan to issue shares between Q4 2026 and 2027, with an estimated total value of 143,830 billion VND (about 5.4 billion USD), which could lift the equity of listed banks by about 6.9%. NCB leads with about 33,000 billion VND, followed by Vietcombank at about 31,771 billion VND and BIDV at about 28,080 billion VND, while HDBank, VPBank, MB and MSB also plan significant capital increases. System-wide credit growth could reach 16-17% in 2027, but the credit-deposit gap was still close to 2.5 million billion VND in Q3, adding pressure on funding. An economist at the University of Economics, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, says capital increases should be matched with credit discipline and cash-flow-based appraisal, and should not place most long-term financing burden on commercial banks.

- Vietbank to offer 296 million new shares; 9-month pre-tax profit estimated up 50% to VND 1,297 billion
Vietbank (VBB) plans to offer over 296 million shares to existing shareholders at VND 10,000 per share, at a 100:25 ratio, which would raise its charter capital from VND 11,846 billion to over VND 14,807 billion. Pre-tax standalone profit for the first nine months of 2026 is estimated at VND 1,297 billion, up 50% from VND 865 billion a year earlier, driven by both net interest income (VND 2,470 billion, up 12%) and non-interest income. As of 30/9/2026, total assets reached VND 213,140 billion, up 8.2% from the start of the year, while customer loans rose 10.8% to VND 120,196 billion. The bank also plans to issue over 74 million ESOP shares at VND 10,000 per share, expected to bring in over VND 740 billion. The proceeds will be used to boost business capital and support credit growth.

- Billionaire Tran Dinh Long Receives Good News from Japan
Tôn Hòa Phát exported about 8,000 tons of galvanized steel coil to Japan in Q4 2026, its first shipment into that market.

- Non-agricultural land tax: Potential risks and points to note
Under Decree 252/2026, non-agricultural land tax payers must pay once a year, by 31/10 at the latest; because 31/10 falls on a Saturday in 2026, the deadline moves to 2/11. Many homeowners, including those in townhouses and apartments, are unaware of the obligation, while some who have already paid still receive notices of unpaid or outstanding tax. The General Department of Taxation attributes this possibly to data that has not been updated or duplicate notices, and has ordered local tax offices to review data and handle complaints. Lawyer Hoàng Hà advises residents to check their obligations via eTax Mobile and keep contracts, land ownership certificates and payment receipts to request a review if needed. Deputy Finance Minister Nguyễn Đức Chi said responsibility for updating housing, land and tax data lies with state management agencies.

Tesla's new car registrations in October rose sharply in Sweden (248%), Norway (131%) and Denmark (34%) compared with the same month last year, according to data from Mobility Sweden, OFV and bilstatistik.dk. The article attributes the gains partly to easier year-over-year comparisons, higher fuel prices, government incentives and continued growth in electric vehicle demand. Registration data from Britain and Germany, Europe's two largest car markets, is expected later this week. Tesla said it ended the third quarter with its largest passenger vehicle order backlog in four years.
