- China GDP beats forecasts as export boom offsets weak demand
China's third-quarter GDP grew 4.5%, beating the 4.4% forecast and rebounding from three-year lows, as a surge in exports offset weak consumer spending and a prolonged property downturn. Growth in the first nine months was 4.6%, and analysts expect Beijing to meet its 4.5% to 5.0% target for 2026 without additional stimulus. However, September retail sales rose only 1.1% from a low base, fixed-asset investment fell 7.2% in January–September, and exports rose by more than a third, deepening reliance on overseas demand. ANZ and Societe Generale warned that trade tensions and weak household consumption pose risks to growth. The yuan rose to its strongest level since July 2022 after the data.
- Economic Watch: China economy sustains growth as innovation, openness gain ground
Official data released Monday showed China's GDP grew 4.6 percent year on year in the first three quarters, with third-quarter growth at 4.5 percent, up from 4.3 percent in the second quarter. The economy added 5.7 trillion yuan (about 851.9 billion U.S. dollars) in output over January to September, the largest increase for that period in five years, while September industrial output rose 5.5 percent. Experts quoted by Xinhua, including the IMF's Rodrigo Valdes, credited China's resilience, low interest rates, high savings and a not-fully-open financial account for limiting risks, and said growth within the 4.5 to 5 percent range reflects strong economic foundations. The article also highlights innovation-driven trade: exports of industrial robots, electronic components and electrical equipment exceeded 10 trillion yuan, up 58.9 percent, while integrated circuit exports surged 99.1 percent.

- Suspected EU crypto theft estimate rises to $133M: ZachXBT
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT has raised his estimate of a suspected crypto theft from an unidentified EU entity to more than $133 million, after identifying another $27 million in exchange withdrawals.

- Officially effective from 1 January 2027, millions of Vietnamese workers receive good news
Decree 399/2026/NĐ-CP, signed by Deputy Prime Minister Phạm Thị Thanh Trà, sets regional minimum wages for employees under labor contracts, effective 1 January 2027 and replacing Decree 293/2025/NĐ-CP.
