Vietnam and Japan advance business partnership
On 6 September, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung met representatives of Japanese businesses in Vietnam during the second Vietnam-Japan Local Cooperation Forum in Hue. Japanese businesses raised issues in nine areas, including transport, education, energy, taxation, technology, and retail.
Can Tho chases double-digit growth
Economy 02:53Can Tho is setting its sights on double-digit growth. To reach this goal, the urban hub of Vietnam’s Mekong Delta needs more than its traditional growth drivers. Industry must move up the value chain, trade must expand into new markets, logistics must become more efficient, and technology must help boost productivity.
Vietnamese enterprises strengthen tech capabilities
Economy 03:09Vietnamese businesses are strengthening their technological capabilities by developing energy-efficient solutions locally and reducing reliance on imported equipment. From manufacturing advanced brushless motors to creating IoT software for air-conditioning optimisation, local firms are making high-tech products more accessible. These efforts align with national goals to build an independent, self-reliant energy industry while significantly cutting power consumption across Vietnam.
China boosts SME development
Economy 01:38China aims to strengthen both the quality and scale of its small and medium-sized enterprises, or SMEs, by 2030. Under a newly released development plan for 2026–2030, Beijing aims to have around 22,000 “little giant” firms, high-performing SMEs with advanced technologies that can lead the wider sector.
Climate change reshapes Europe’s agricultural map
Economy 02:40From cornfields harvested early in Germany and sun-scorched vineyards in France to drought-hit grasslands in Belgium, this summer is making one change increasingly clear across European agriculture. Climate change is not only reducing yields, but also forcing farmers to rethink what they grow, when they grow it, and how they farm.
EU tightens rules on e-commerce imports
Economy 03:06Around 6 billion e-commerce parcels entered the European Union in 2025. The rapid growth in volume is putting increasing pressure on customs authorities and raising the risk of non-compliant goods entering the market. The Council of the European Union has now approved the bloc’s biggest customs reform in decades, with one major change: responsibility for goods sold online will shift from consumers to importers and e-commerce platforms themselves.
NISA – New policy focus for Japanese government
Economy 01:46Japan’s tax-free investment program - NISA has grown so fast that the government is now exploring ways to use it for broader economic policies! From proposed tax incentives on government bonds to potential market impacts on nearly 30 million voters, NISA is proving to be much more than just an individual investment tool.
