Intelligence for Better Decision Making
Erudite Risk takes an all risks approach to intelligence reporting. We categorize key intelligence into one of 40 different risk intelligence categories.
The goal is to provide intelligence that allows decision makers to avoid being blindsided by what they may have missed, while informing them to make better decisions as well.
Erudite Risk also includes operations categories so you can monitor the environment for better decision making. Everything is tied together--what happens in risk affects operations and what happens in the market impacts risk profiles.
We categorize key intelligence into one of 30 different operations intelligence categories.
Different roles and functions within the organization can monitor different key issue areas. HR may monitor employment, wages, regulations, labor and management relations, etc., while P&L leaders may monitor overall developing trends.

Ordering domestic enterprises to participate in key national projects
Dantri | Local Language | News | Jan. 23, 2026 | Regulation
Acting Minister of Industry and Trade Lê Mạnh Hùng highlighted significant economic achievements during the 2021-2025 term, with the Industry and Trade sector playing a strategic role in national development. Industrial production saw strong recovery and growth, particularly in processing and manufacturing industries, driving industrialization, modernization, and progress towards autonomy, connectivity, green transition, digital transformation, and international integration.
However, challenges remain, including low technological autonomy, limited development of foundational industries and source technologies, lagging labor productivity, and slow adoption of green and smart production methods. The country faces a new era emphasizing science, technology, innovation, green transition, digital transformation, and deep international integration.
To advance industrial and commercial development, the Ministry aims to focus on completing institutions and policies, promoting a dual transition combining green initiatives with energy security, developing autonomous supply chains, linking domestic and foreign-invested enterprises, increasing localization, and involving domestic enterprises in key national projects. The sector will also enhance trade remedy capacity, leverage free trade agreements, and accelerate administrative and public service reforms by simplifying procedures and lowering compliance costs.
Development solutions proposed include leading major policy improvements toward autonomy, modernization, green transition, and digital transformation, innovating legal frameworks to support development, mobilizing resources for infrastructure development, and strengthening domestic enterprises comprehensively. The Ministry emphasizes proactive, effective international economic integration linked to enhancing economic autonomy and sustainable growth. The sector commits to shifting from a management mindset to one of creation, supporting enterprises to turn challenges posed by greening and digitization into opportunities for national development.
Làm dự án Sông Hồng, công ty địa ốc của tỷ phú Trần Bá Dương tăng vốn mạnh
By undertaking the Red River project, billionaire Trần Bá Dương's real estate company significantly increases capital
Dantri | Local Language | News | Jan. 23, 2026 | UndeterminedReal Estate
Dai Quang Minh Real Estate Investment Joint Stock Company, led by billionaire Trần Bá Dương, increased its registered capital from VND 18,200 billion to VND 19,158 billion in early 2026. The capital increase is entirely from domestic private sources with no foreign shareholders and marks the company’s first capital boost in 2026 following three consecutive increases in 2025 that raised capital from VND 10,920 billion to VND 18,200 billion. This latest capital level surpasses major real estate firms like Khang Điền, Becamex Group, and Kinh Bắc, bringing Dai Quang Minh close to Novaland and behind only Vinhomes.
The capital raise coincides with the unexpected return of Mr. Trần Đăng Khoa, also known as "Khoa the hoarse," as Chairman of the Board, replacing Mr. Trần Bá Dương. Mr. Khoa is a well-known figure in the real estate sector and was the company’s founder and first chairman before 2016. Dai Quang Minh is noted for pioneering projects such as the Sala urban area in Thu Thiem.
The company recently initiated the Red River landscape boulevard project, a major development with an estimated investment of about VND 855,000 billion under a public-private partnership model. The project covers around 11,000 hectares distributed across four independent components and spans 19 communes and wards in Hanoi, from Hong Ha Bridge to Me So Bridge.
No more forbidden zones: Party inspectors break down walls of impunity
Vietnam Net - E | English | News | Jan. 23, 2026 | Political Scandal or Corruption
At the 14th National Party Congress, Deputy Chief of the Central Inspection Committee Tran Van Ron reported significant progress during the 13th Party Congress term, noting that the Party’s inspection bodies handled an unprecedentedly broad and complex workload. They uncovered and resolved multi-layered violations across various sectors and localities that had previously caused public discontent, enforcing discipline with strictness and humanity, without exceptions or forbidden zones. Despite these achievements, Ron acknowledged ongoing challenges, including insufficient appreciation of inspection work among Party committees and weaknesses in self-checking and early violation detection.
Ron emphasized the importance of committed leadership, stating that effective inspection depends on top leaders taking personal responsibility and setting examples. He highlighted that discipline should protect the broader public interest, enforcing rules not merely to punish individuals but to strengthen governance by closing systemic loopholes. A key development during the 13th term was enhanced coordination between Party inspection, state audit, administrative inspection, and law enforcement, which enabled more decisive enforcement actions.
Looking forward to the 14th term, Ron called for bold reforms aiming to transform inspection into a central tool for political discipline and clean governance. This would involve focusing on prevention, early warning, and grassroots power control, tightening anti-corruption rules, and integrating them into public administration to structurally deter misconduct. Additionally, inspection agencies will pursue digital transformation to enable real-time, data-driven oversight, enhancing transparency and accountability through reforms in asset and income declarations. The ultimate goal is to develop a generation of inspectors who are morally upright, professionally skilled, and institutionally empowered to uphold Party discipline and integrity.
