To further enhance the inbound holiday experience, this year's carnival upgrades exclusive benefits for international visitors, offering multilingual guided tours, exclusive discounted flight & hotel packages, and special duty-free promotions—delivering a wealth of benefits across the island.

Vinhomes' Comprehensive Execution and Long-Term Operation Drive Interest from Global Institutional Investors

HANOI, VIETNAM -  Media OutReach Newswire - 16 July 2026 - Through the successful development and operation of an internationally recognized integrated urban ecosystem on a significant nationwide scale, Vinhomes (ticker: VHM) has established itself as one of Vietnam's largest and most established long-term real estate development platforms, attracting growing interest from international institutional investors. 
             
       Vinhomes Green Paradise.     
     
 As of December 31, 2025, Vinhomes manages and operates 32 urban developments across eight provinces and cities in Vietnam, serving more than 650,000 residents across over 168,000 apartments, villas, and townhouses, with synchronized management standards and operational quality. 
  A global shift in investment capital from speculative projects toward developers with proven long-term execution capabilities is imposing stricter standards on the real estate sector. In this context, Vinhomes has emerged as a notable player, distinguished by its ability to deliver large-scale projects and sustain vibrant, long-lasting communities through three core pillars: the capability to deliver large-scale integrated townships; the ability to standardize and replicate successful models nationwide; and a commitment to creating sustainable, internationally benchmarked living environments. 
  Delivering Large-Scale Integrated Townships Through a Synchronized Operational Ecosystem 
  Strong project delivery capability, supported by the broader Vingroup ecosystem, helps Vinhomes mitigate long-term operational risks for investors. 
  Since 2018, Vinhomes has concentrated on developing internationally benchmarked integrated townships, typically exceeding 300 hectares in strategic locations. The key differentiator of these projects is the integration of residential spaces with comprehensive infrastructure, including commercial, educational, healthcare, transportation, and public facilities. 
  The success of this model is reinforced by the multi-industry ecosystem of parent company Vingroup. Residents of Vinhomes have access to services from Vincom shopping malls, Vinmec international hospitals, Vinschool campuses, VinUniversity, the VinBus electric bus network, V-GREEN charging infrastructure, Vinpearl resorts, golf courses, convention centers, VinWonders entertainment complexes, and the Green SM (GSM) mobility network. 
  In addition, professional 24/7 property management services, robust security systems, meticulous landscaping maintenance, and hospitality-style residential services help Vinhomes assets maintain their value and operate smoothly over the long term. 
  Standardizing and Replicating Urban Development Models on a Nationwide Scale 
  Vinhomes has developed strong organizational capabilities that enable it to institutionalize complex urban development processes and maintain consistent quality across different regions. 
  While many real estate companies maintain strengths only in specific local markets, Vinhomes has demonstrated the ability to establish a strong presence across most major cities and strategic provinces from the north to the south of Vietnam. Capital allocation, construction management, infrastructure integration, and community management have been standardized into scalable, repeatable processes. 
  Marc Townsend, Senior Advisor at Arcadia Consulting Vietnam Co., Ltd., observed: 
  "If one were to name the most instantly recognizable real estate brand in Vietnam, it would undoubtedly be Vingroup, and more specifically, Vinhomes, whose position clearly stands above the rest of the market. The reason is straightforward. Vingroup and Vinhomes are organizations that consistently deliver on what they commit to... They possess the ability to execute projects at a truly national scale, from north to south, something very few developers can claim." 
  This geographic diversification not only helps Vinhomes mitigate market cycle risks but also positions the company to capture Vietnam's strong urbanization wave, a key factor providing resilience for foreign capital seeking long-term investment assets. 
  Creating Internationally Benchmarked Urban Platforms to Meet Long-Term Investment Demand 
  Vinhomes' focus on creating sustainable living environments distinguishes the company as a developer of urban platforms with international potential. 
  Whether serving the social housing segment or premium mixed-use developments, Vinhomes maintains a consistent objective: creating high-quality living environments where infrastructure development goes hand-in-hand with civilized residential communities. 
  Rather than merely selling individual properties, the company focuses on building complete urban ecosystems and committing to long-term community management. This structured approach aligns with the rigorous criteria of global financial institutions, which prioritize three factors: demonstrated execution capability, extensive operational experience, and the ability to integrate complex mixed-use developments with modern transportation infrastructure. 
  With a solid foundation established through a series of large-scale projects, Vinhomes not only maintains its leading position in the domestic market but also serves as a trusted strategic partner, offering global investors access to Vietnam's strong economic growth potential.

Fitch Ratings assigns first-time credit rating to HDBank, recognises its strong financial profile

HO CHI MINH CITY, VIETNAM -  Media OutReach Newswire - 15 July 2026 - Fitch Ratings has assigned its first-ever credit ratings to Ho Chi Minh City Development Joint Stock Commercial Bank (HoSE: HDB), placing the lender among the highest-rated Vietnamese banks and recognising its strong financial position, profitability and sustainable growth. 
             
       An HDBank branch in HCM City.     
     
 The agency assigned HDBank long-term foreign- and local-currency issuer default ratings (IDRs) of  'BB-' with a "Stable outlook" and a Viability Rating of  'bb-', the highest Viability Rating for Vietnamese banks. 
  The BB- rating is one notch above the B1 rating previously assigned by Moody's, reflecting HDBank's steady progress in strengthening its financial position and credit quality. 
  Fitch said the ratings reflect the Bank's strong profitability, stable funding base and growing position in Vietnam's banking sector, while the country's favourable economic outlook is expected to continue supporting banking industry performance. 
  The agency highlighted HDBank's sustained growth in total assets and lending, alongside its expanding market share in the retail banking and small and medium-sized enterprise segments. 
  It expects the bank to maintain profitability above the sector average, supported by healthy net interest margins, strong operating efficiency and one of the strongest capital positions among Vietnamese banks. 
  Fitch also noted that HDBank's shareholder-approved capital raising plans will further strengthen its capital buffers and support medium- and long-term growth, while the newly assigned credit rating is expected to improve the bank's access to global capital markets, diversify funding sources and lower funding costs. 
  Earlier this year, Moody's upgraded HDBank's outlook from "Stable" to "Positive", citing improvements in financial strength, asset quality and growth prospects. 
  In the first quarter of 2026, HDBank reported pre-tax profit of VND6.107 trillion (US$232.1 million), up 14% year-on-year. 
  Its return on equity (ROE) remained among the highest in the banking sector at 24.29%, while its Basel II capital adequacy ratio stood at 16.2%, more than double the regulatory minimum of 8%. 
  As of March 31, total assets topped VND984.2 trillion (US$37.5 billion), up 5.7% from the end of 2025. 
  The Bank maintained a loan-to-deposit ratio below 70%, while other key liquidity indicators, including the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), all exceeded Basel III minimum requirements.

SBI Global Asset Management and DigiFT Launch JX, Bringing a Japanese Asset Manager’s Equity Strategy On-Chain for the First Time

SINGAPORE -  Media OutReach Newswire - 15 July 2026 - DigiFT, a regulated digital asset exchange for institutional-grade real-world assets ("RWAs"), and SBI Global Asset Management Co., Ltd. ("SBI GAM"), a subsidiary of SBI Holdings, Inc., today announced the launch of the SBI Japan High Dividend Equity Strategy Token ("JX token"), a token designed to provide accredited or institutional investors with on-chain access to a Japanese high-dividend equity fund strategy managed by SBI Asset Management Co., Ltd. ("SBI AM") which is a subsidiary of SBI GAM. The launch marks the first time a Japanese asset manager's listed-equity strategy is brought on-chain through DigiFT's regulated tokenization and distribution infrastructure. 
  The launch comes as investor attention returns to Japanese equities, supported by the Tokyo Stock Exchange's continued push for listed companies to improve capital efficiency and demonstrate greater awareness of share-price performance. It also reflects a broader evolution in tokenization: the value of tokenized RWAs distributed on public blockchains grew from USD 5.9 billion to USD 21.9 billion globally in 2025, moving the category beyond cash-like instruments and into actively managed public-market strategies. DigiFT was an early mover in this shift, launching a tokenized U.S. equity income fund developed with BNY in January 2026. This shift is now extending directly into Japan's own institutional market, where SBI Group has been among the country's most active builders of on-chain financial infrastructure. 
  DigiFT holds Capital Markets Services and Recognised Market Operator licences from MAS, as well as Type 1 and Type 4 licences from the Hong Kong SFC - a dual regulatory standing that has made it a tokenization and distribution partner for global and regional asset managers, including UBS Asset Management, Invesco, BNY and Franklin Templeton. DigiFT's roster now extends into Japan, through SBI GAM's participation, adding a Japanese listed-equity strategy to that lineup for the first time. DigiFT is launching the JX Token on Solana, further expanding the availability of regulated RWAs on-chain, with ecosystem participants including Solana Company, Huma Finance and Plume. 
  SBI Holdings brings its own substantial on-chain track record to the collaboration. The group reported consolidated revenue of JPY 1.90 trillion for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2026, with its Crypto-asset Business segment generating JPY 89.6 billion in revenue over the same period. SBI Holdings has taken direct stakes across the region's tokenization infrastructure, including leading a $50 million investment in Startale Group to build a blockchain purpose-built for tokenized securities, and holding a majority stake in Osaka Digital Exchange, operator of a secondary market for security tokens in Japan. 
  JX is structured around the underlying strategy managed by SBI AM. This authorized, manager-referenced model is critical as regulators are increasingly distinguishing tokenized securities developed with issuer or manager alignment from products that provide only indirect economic exposure. In a joint staff statement issued 28 January 2026, the U.S. SEC staff drew a formal line between issuer-sponsored tokenized securities, which can represent true ownership, and third-party products that typically offer only synthetic exposure or custodial entitlements - signalling an intent to encourage the former while curbing the spread of the latter. 
  Henry Zhang, Founder and Group CEO, DigiFT: "Our mission at DigiFT has always been to bring real, institutional-grade assets on-chain through infrastructure that investors and asset managers can actually trust. JX extends that mission to Japan for the first time, opening regulated, on-chain access to Japanese equities. We're proud to build this with SBI Group, one of Japan's most forward-looking financial institutions, and excited about what this partnership signals for the future of tokenization across the region."

DITP Launches THAI SELECT Festival 2026 in New York to Strengthen U.S. Market Opportunities for Thailand's Food Industry

NEW YORK, USA -  Media OutReach Newswire - 14 July 2026 – Thailand's Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), under the Ministry of Commerce, will present the THAI SELECT Festival 2026 on 21 July 2026 at Vanderbilt Hall, Grand Central Terminal, New York City. The festival is designed to strengthen the presence of authentic Thai cuisine in the United States, expand international recognition of the THAI SELECT certification, and create new commercial opportunities for Thai restaurants, food producers, and exporters. 
       
 As one of Thailand's largest export markets for food products, the United States plays a strategic role in supporting the continued growth of Thailand's food industry. Through the THAI SELECT Festival 2026, DITP aims to connect American consumers with authentic Thai cuisine while reinforcing the competitiveness of Thai restaurants and promoting greater demand for premium Thai ingredients and food products. 
  The Ministry of Commerce is deeply honoured that  Her Royal Highness Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya Sirivadhana Barnavadi has graciously accepted the invitation to preside over the festival's opening ceremony. Her participation underscores Thailand's continued commitment to promoting authentic Thai cuisine and the THAI SELECT certification on the international stage. 
  Held under the theme  "Thai SELECT Playground – Play with Thai Flavors," the festival offers an immersive culinary experience where visitors can explore Thailand's rich food culture through authentic flavours, regional specialties, cooking demonstrations, cultural showcases, and interactive activities. Inspired by the concept of a playground, the event encourages guests to discover the diversity, creativity, and craftsmanship that define Thai cuisine. 
  A major highlight of the festival will be signature dishes prepared by  15 THAI SELECT-certified restaurants from across New York, showcasing both traditional favourites and contemporary interpretations of authentic Thai cuisine. Visitors will also have opportunities to engage with Thai culinary traditions through hands-on cultural experiences and interactive exhibitions celebrating Thailand's culinary heritage. 
  Internationally acclaimed Thai actors  Mile Phakphum Romsaithong and  Apo Nattawin Wattanagitiphat will make special appearances throughout the festival, participating in exclusive fan activities while helping introduce authentic Thai cuisine to broader international audiences. Their participation reflects Thailand's integrated approach to promoting culture, entertainment, and gastronomy as complementary drivers of the country's global soft power and creative economy. 
  The festival forms part of DITP's broader strategy to strengthen the international competitiveness of Thailand's food industry by increasing global awareness of the THAI SELECT certification, encouraging wider adoption of Thai ingredients by restaurants overseas, and creating new opportunities for Thai food exporters. By strengthening the international profile of authentic Thai cuisine, DITP continues to support sustainable growth across Thailand's food value chain while reinforcing the country's long-standing position as one of the world's leading culinary destinations. 
  THAI SELECT is Thailand's official certification mark awarded by the Ministry of Commerce to restaurants and food products that meet recognized standards of authentic Thai taste, quality, and culinary excellence. The certification serves as a trusted guide for consumers worldwide seeking genuine Thai dining experiences while supporting Thai businesses in international markets. 
  As Thailand continues to expand the global presence of its food industry, THAI SELECT Festival 2026 demonstrates how culinary diplomacy can generate tangible economic value by strengthening international consumer confidence, supporting Thai entrepreneurs overseas, and creating new opportunities for trade, investment, tourism, and long-term business partnerships between Thailand and the United States.
