  • Vietnam’s Unified Political System Drives to End IUU Fishing

    Eight years after the EC (European Commission) issued its “yellow card” warning over Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, Vietnam’s entire political system is executing comprehensive measures with unprecedented resolve. The campaign to remove the IUU yellow card transcends mere commercial calculations; it has become inextricably linked to national prestige, the livelihoods of fishing communities, and the sustainable future of the fisheries sector.

    HANOI, VIETNAM – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2026 – Combating IUU fishing represents a critical and urgent national mission with enduring implications for sustainable fisheries development. This mission constitutes a collective mandate that rests with the entire political system and society, presenting a pivotal opportunity to restructure, modernise, and transform the fisheries sector’s sustainable development strategy while ensuring social equity.

    Removing the EC’s yellow card warning embodies Vietnam’s honour, responsibility, and national interest, essential elements for enhancing the reputation and global competitiveness of Vietnamese seafood products. Simultaneously, combating IUU fishing and developing a responsible, internationally integrated fisheries sector stands as a cornerstone of the blue economy agenda, ranking among the Vietnamese Government’s highest priorities in recent years.

    Institutional Reform in Fisheries Management

    Vietnam’s commitment manifests through sweeping legislative reforms. Decree 26/2019 established comprehensive traceability requirements, mandating that every kilogram of seafood must carry verifiable proof of legal origin from the moment of harvest until reaching international buyers.

    Subsequent decrees (No. 42/2019, 37/2024, 38/2024, 301/2025) have progressively clarified liability, extending sanctions to both vessel owners and captains, substantially increasing penalties for specific violations, and introducing supplementary sanctions and remedial measures to ensure rigorous enforcement. These enhanced penalties strengthen deterrence capabilities against IUU violations.

    The amended Fisheries Law 2017, effective January 1, 2026, incorporates crucial provisions including: (i) transferring certain authorities from the National Assembly to the Government/Ministries to ensure responsive IUU enforcement; (ii) delegating authority to establish fishing permit conditions to the Government (Article 50, Clause 2); (iii) expanding regulatory authority over vessel deregistration cases (Article 50, Clause 5); (iv) transferring authority to establish fishing port criteria and the procedures for opening and closing fishing ports to the Minister of Agriculture and Environment (Article 78); and (v) incorporating requirements for export vessels to meet Government-prescribed conditions (Article 66).

    Integrated Technology for Vessel Management and Monitoring

    Central to implementing the EC inspection team’s fourth-round recommendations is the deployment of a comprehensive fishing vessel management and monitoring system. Bolstered by the Politburo’s Resolution 57 on scientific-technological breakthroughs, innovation, and national digital transformation, technology has become indispensable to the yellow card removal campaign.

    The eCDT system now enables end-to-end data digitisation for monitoring vessel port entries and departures, while the Vessel Monitoring System (VMS) tracks all vessels exceeding 15 meters operating offshore.

    Fishing vessels may only register for local operations when allocated fishing permit quotas remain available. Registered vessels are comprehensively catalogued in the national fisheries database (VNFishbase), with ownership information verified against the national population database (VNeID), enabling effective management, operational control, and administrative violation processing while ensuring seamless coordination between central and local authorities.

    Establishing Traceability Mechanisms for Domestic and Imported Fisheries Products

    As of December 31, 2025, Vietnam has declared 86 operational fishing ports, with continued investment in planned ports to enhance vessel monitoring capacity. The nationally deployed eCDT system now manages complete fishing vessel operations while ensuring transparent traceability of harvested aquatic products. System participation among vessels, fishermen, and enterprises continues growing, with mandatory eCDT and electronic logbook implementation scheduled for all operational fishing vessels.

    In 2025, the eCDT system recorded 158,885 port departures (an increase of 81,158 vessels, up 104.41% from 2024) and 154,657 port arrivals (up 88,032 vessels, a 132.13% increase from 2024). Certification and confirmation of harvested aquatic product origins now strictly adhere to legal requirements.

    Regarding imported harvest traceability: 14 designated seaports have been announced for foreign vessel arrivals, fully implementing PSMA, compliant control measures for imported harvested aquatic materials and container-shipped products. Domestic and imported harvest traceability mechanisms now operate with rigorous oversight, ensuring full compliance with Vietnamese and international legal frameworks. Notably, no violations have been detected in shipments to European markets since the fourth inspection mission (October 2023).

    Legal Enforcement and Violation Processing

    A unified vessel monitoring system operates consistently from central to local levels, tracking all vessels exceeding 15 meters in offshore waters. By December 31, 2025, all remaining cases of VMS signal loss and unauthorised boundary crossings have been resolved, with continued strict enforcement against emerging violations.

    Coastal provincial authorities conduct regular reviews of vessel registration, surveying, and fishing permit issuance to eliminate unregistered, unlicensed, and VMS-deficient vessels and deregistered vessels still operating. These measures have significantly reduced foreign waters violations.

    Sanctions against vessels and fishermen violating foreign waters have intensified, producing measurable improvements. In 2025, 20 vessels detained by foreign authorities underwent investigation, with 17 cases (85%) now resolved. Overall detention figures since 2017 show marked reduction, with complete cessation of violations in Pacific island nations. Currently, only six localities report vessel detentions compared to ten previously.
    Vietnam maintains an unequivocal zero-tolerance stance toward IUU violations, committing to continued rigorous processing of remaining cases upon receiving complete vessel and captain information from detaining nations.

    Analysts suggest the finish line is approaching. “Vietnam has accomplished more in eight years than many nations achieve in decades,” observers note. “Yellow card removal would not merely boost GDP, it would demonstrate Vietnam’s capacity for ocean governance leadership.”
    Vietnam presents a transformed reality: bustling ports equipped with digital inspection infrastructure, vessels monitored by satellite tracking systems, and a fishing community actively upholding government mandates.

    国际特殊奥林匹克东亚区区域总裁及总经理冯美孙表示：”国际特奥会亲身见证，当包括自闭症人士在内的智力与发展障碍人士真正参与融合社会活动，尤其是体育活动时，这种共融带来的深远影响。通过运动、社区融合参与及领导力培养，他们能建立自信、归属感，并成为社区中的领袖。”

    2026年世界提高自闭症意识日，香港特别行政区将举办多场活动，包括一场大型会议，其中香港交易所主席及独立非执行董事唐家成先生（Carlson Tong）将致欢迎辞。会议特别邀请自闭症人士担任讲者与座谈嘉宾，向意见领袖、决策者及重要利益相关方发表演讲。其他活动还包括推出香港制作的《自闭症系列纪录片》，以及由香港主要企业主导的自闭症意识提升活动。

    2026年世界提高自闭症意识日也呼应中国政府对自闭症议题日益重视的政策方向，包括近年推出的《孤独症儿童关爱促进行动实施方案（2024—2028年）》。

  • Autism in Hong Kong SAR and Mainland China under the Spotlight

    HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2026 – The Hong Kong Autism Institute (HKAI)[1] has announced a landmark collaboration with UNESCO Regional Office for East Asia and Special Olympics East Asia (SOEA) to promote the celebration of the World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) 2026 in Hong Kong SAR.

    WAAD is an observance designated by the United Nations, held annually on April 2nd. It aims to raise awareness about autism while promoting acceptance, inclusion, and quality of life for autistic individuals.

    “Autism is one of the defining conditions of our times, impacting 1 in 40 children in the Hong Kong SAR and more than 2 million children in Mainland China. Crucially, autism has now overtaken cancer as the leading cause of juvenile critical illness insurance claims in the Hong Kong SAR,” said Mr. Damien Green, Founder of the HKAI.

    Mr. Green is the former CEO of Manulife Hong Kong and Macau and former Asia President of Manulife. He is a prominent advocate for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) stakeholders in Hong Kong. “Through our collaboration with UNESCO Regional Office for East Asia and SOEA, we aim to significantly elevate autism awareness and understanding amongst opinion leaders and policymakers in the region,” he added.

    “Autism brings as many opportunities as it does challenges for societies and economies,” said Professor Shahbaz Khan, Director and Representative of the UNESCO Regional Office for East Asia and Chair of the United Nations Theme Group on Disability in China. “UNESCO is pleased to partner with the HKAI and SOEA to bring autism into clearer public focus. WAAD 2026 is about moving from awareness to participation, ensuring persons with autism are present and included in education, sport, work and community life. That inclusion benefits everyone, and it must be shaped with autistic voices and lived experience at the center.”

    Freda Fung, Regional President and Managing Director of SOEA stated, “Our organization has witnessed the transformative impact of inclusion when persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including autism, are meaningfully engaged in unified social activities, particularly in sport. Through sports, inclusive community engagement, and leadership opportunities, individuals can build confidence, develop a strong sense of belonging, and emerge as leaders within their communities.”

    The WAAD 2026 program in Hong Kong SAR includes a major plenary event, where Carlson Tong, the Chairman and Independent Non-Executive Director of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX), will deliver welcoming remarks. The event will feature speakers and panelists with autism who will address an audience of opinion leaders, policymakers and key stakeholders. Other initiatives will include the launch of an Autism Docuseries made in Hong Kong, and awareness events conducted by major Hong Kong employers.

    WAAD 2026 aligns with the Government of China’s evolving policy focus on autism, including recent national-level policy initiatives.

  • VinFast Partners with 6 E-Scooter Dealers in Indonesia, Accelerating Nationwide Market Expansion

    VinFast Partners with 6 E-Scooter Dealers in Indonesia, Accelerating Nationwide Market Expansion

    JAKARTA, INDONESIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2026 – VinFast announced the signing of strategic Memoranda of Understanding with six electric scooter dealers in Indonesia, marking a new milestone in the expansion of its distribution network in one of the largest scooter markets in the region and globally. The agreement reaffirms the company’s long-term commitment to accelerating transport electrification and building a comprehensive green mobility ecosystem in Indonesia.

    Representatives of VinFast and dealer partners in Indonesia at the signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the distribution of e-scooters.

    In preparation for the launch of its electric scooters in Q2/2026, VinFast has signed additional MOUs with six dealers, including PT. IB Motor, PT. Sentrik, PT. Axara Marani, PT. Sukses Sejati Indonesia, PT. Tangguh Inti Motor, and PT. Kiki Motor Persada. These partners are distributors with strong experience in key markets and share a common direction toward green mobility solutions.

    Under the MOUs, VinFast and its partners will collaborate closely to open showrooms in strategic areas with strong potential for transport electrification, including Jabodetabek, West Java, East Java, and Bali. With high population density, rapid urbanization, and strong mobility demand, these regions are central to VinFast’s expansion strategy in Indonesia.

    The showrooms will comply with VinFast’s global standards. In the initial phase, the network will distribute battery swap models such as the VinFast Flazz, VinFast Evo, VinFast Feliz II, and VinFast Viper, while gradually introducing new models tailored to local infrastructure conditions and the usage habits of Indonesian consumers.

    Indonesia has one of the world’s largest scooter markets, with annual sales reaching millions of units. Amid early-stage e-scooter adoption and the Government’s push toward a green energy transition, Indonesia’s e-scooter market is entering an accelerated growth phase, creating clear opportunities for companies with long-term strategies and integrated ecosystem development.

    VinFast is among the first manufacturers in the market to take a proactive role in building a comprehensive ecosystem to support e-scooters from the early stages of market entry preparation. In addition to expanding its distribution network, the company is working closely with strategic partners to develop aftersales services and energy solutions, notably the battery swapping station model deployed by global charging infrastructure developer V-Green.

    Upon the official launch of VinFast e-scooters, customers will be able to access V-Green’s battery swapping stations currently being piloted in the Jabodetabek area, offering a flexible and convenient electric mobility experience. This integrated approach, spanning product, infrastructure, and services, not only creates a sustainable competitive advantage but also sets new standards for the market.

    Previously, VinFast announced its strategy to introduce electric scooters to international markets and signed MOUs with dealers in the Philippines. In 2026, the company plans to accelerate electric scooter expansion across five key international markets: the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Thailand, and Malaysia.

    Ms. Vo Thi Cam Tu, Managing Director of VinFast E-Scooters Overseas Market, stated: “Expanding cooperation with Indonesian dealers demonstrates VinFast’s determination to rapidly establish a strong distribution and service network in this market. We are not only delivering high-quality products but also deploying a comprehensive ecosystem, from sales and after-sales services to charging and battery swap infrastructure, to build a sustainable and long-term foundation alongside our local partners.”

    After two years in Indonesia, VinFast has introduced a diverse electric vehicle lineup ranging from SUVs to commercial transport models, while also commencing operations at its Subang plant. The company has continued to strengthen its green mobility ecosystem by expanding dealership and service networks, developing charging infrastructure in partnership with V-Green, and collaborating with major banks and financial institutions. In 2026, the company officially enters the Indonesian e-scooter market, marking the next step in its sustainable development and investment strategy in the country. Through flexible policies and a long-term investment commitment, VinFast is progressively enabling Indonesian consumers to access and participate more actively in the global green transport transition.

  • 永明金融調查揭示亞洲退休兩極化： 有人自主延遲退休，有人被迫為生計堅持

    永明金融調查揭示亞洲退休兩極化： 有人自主延遲退休，有人被迫為生計堅持

    • 亞洲浮現兩種退休模式：財務準備充足者可以自主選擇延長工作年期，而準備不足者則因經濟壓力被迫推遲退休。
    • 69% 受訪者預期或已於達到退休年齡後繼續工作。
    • 62% 受訪者指維持收入是他們繼續工作的主要原因，其餘則為追求人生意義與滿足感（49%）、維持社交關係（47%），以及保持心智活躍（41%）。
    • 81% 受訪者認為退休屬個人選擇。
    • 使用生成式 人工智能（AI） 工具作為資訊來源的比例由 12% 倍增至 22%。

    香港 – Media OutReach Newswire – 2026年3月6日 – 永明金融最新發佈的亞洲退休調查顯示，隨著亞洲人口老化，區內人士對於退休準備的差距正日益擴大。雖然許多受訪者在退休年齡後選擇繼續工作，惟不少人是因為財政壓力而被迫延遲退休，可見退休準備不均的問題日趨嚴峻，突顯制定長遠退休計劃刻不容緩。

    目前，亞洲佔全球60歲以上人口約六成，預計未來 25 年將倍增至 13 億[1]。在人口結構轉變、退休規劃週期縮短，及對自主型AI 工具依賴日增的多重影響下，區內人士將面臨更多的挑戰。

    是次名為《規劃退休生活：亞洲退休兩極化》的調查發現，大部分受訪者（69%）預期會在退休年齡後繼續工作。對部分受訪者而言，這體現其對生活彈性與身心健康的追求，他們持續工作是為了追求人生意義與滿足感（49%）、維持社交關係（47%），以及保持心智活躍（41%）。然而，這亦反映部分受訪者的財務壓力，近三分之二（62%）的受訪者表示需要持續工作以應付日常開支及建立長遠財務保障。

    永明金融亞洲區首席客戶及分銷官David Broom表示：「我們觀察到的並非單一的退休歷程，而是兩種截然不同的現實。對於準備充足的人而言，延長工作是一種提升生活彈性和自由的選擇；但對準備不足的人而言，則是由財政壓力所致。因此，及早且全面的規劃將影響大眾的退休步伐。」

    延遲退休的兩種現實：自由的選擇與沉重的義務

    調查揭示，亞洲退休族群分為兩類人士：「優秀規劃者」與「被動延退族」。前者財政預備充足，能自主選擇如何及何時淡出職場；後者則因為經濟負擔被迫延遲退休。

    對「優秀規劃者」而言，繼續工作是基於對人生意義、身份認同和身心健康的追求（53%），高於「被動延退族」的43%。相比之下，17%的「被動延退族」不確定會否在退休後繼續工作，而47%的「優秀規劃者」則預期或已在退休後繼續工作。

    對計劃或已經較預期遲退休的「被動延退族」而言，財政壓力是最常見的原因。逾半（52%）表示因需要更多儲蓄而延遲退休。

    然而，「優秀規劃者」延遲退休更常是出於選擇而非財政所迫，他們的常見動機是保持身心活躍（53%），另有逾三成人則表示享受工作社交（34%）。延長職業生涯對「優秀規劃者」是自主權與選擇的體現，而對「被動延退族」而言，則更多是迫於財政壓力。

    香港永明金融有限公司人壽及康健業務副行政總裁楊娟博士表示：「隨住市民愈趨長壽，但仍有不少人無法確定自己能否安享退休生活。因此，保險業界的角色變得至為關鍵，透過提供專業指導與方案，將種種不確定轉化為賦能，協助大眾構建充滿無限可能、無憂的黃金晚年。」

    生成式 AI 成為退休規劃的潛在風險

    隨著更多人使用生成式 AI 進行財務決策，調查揭示缺乏專業指導下自主規劃退休的風險正逐漸增加。使用 ChatGPT、Google Gemini 等工具的比例由去年調查的 12% ，倍增至 22%。

    同時，受訪者循傳統渠道尋求建議的比例有所下降，僅35%表示會諮詢銀行，34% 會尋求獨立理財顧問意見，較 2024 年的 43% 及 41% 有所減少。此趨勢反映數碼工具的便利性與吸引力，但亦同時擴大退休規劃的財務知識缺口。

    David Broom補充：「人工智能可以作為有用的切入點，但它往往缺乏長期財務保障所需的細緻和個人化考量。隨著科技重塑退休規劃方式的同時，專業意見對確保決策明智、全面平衡且符合個人目標仍是不可或缺。」

    財務安全與退休信心息息相關

    財務安全是影響退休樂觀程度的核心因素。於嚮往退休生活的非退休人士中（45%），59%將財務安全列為主要原因，其次則是生活穩定（38%）和更大自由度（27%）。相反，缺乏保障會令人對退休感到悲觀，在不期待晚年生活的非退休人士中（55%），近半（45%）歸因於財務不安全，其次是擔心無法為家庭提供經濟支持（43%）。

    大眾的退休規劃週期仍然偏短：22%的受訪者表示退休前未有制定任何計劃，另有28%僅在離開全職工作前兩年開始規劃。只有22%的受訪者對其退休計劃充滿信心。

    許多亞洲在職人士正面臨俗稱「三文治世代」的經濟壓力，即同時需要供養長輩及年幼子女。這導致許多人縮減對生活水平的期望（36%）或延遲退休計劃（26%）。

    越來越多人希望自主決定離開職場的時間點，81%的受訪者認為退休應屬個人選擇而非強制受年齡限制。而不同世代的調查結果亦反映上述觀點，近半數Z世代受訪者（48%）對此表示強烈認同，嬰兒潮世代的受訪者則為36%。另外，四分之三受訪者支持在法定退休年齡後繼續工作。

    健康乃退休生活的財富

    當前的健康狀況與期望，塑造我們對退休生活的憧憬。因此，保持健康與對晚年保持樂觀態度息息相關。

    在近年對退休的看法有所改變的受訪者中，最常被提及的原因是身體健康比預期好（49%）或心理健康有所改善（43%）。而健康欠佳亦對退休計劃造成負面影響，在較預期提早退休的受訪者中，32% 表示健康不佳為主要原因。

    楊娟博士續稱：「健康就是財富，既影響何時退休，同時決定晚年的生活質素。Sun Life永明瞭解客戶不斷演變的需求，致力為他們提供全面的退休規劃方案。繼去年推出即享年金計劃，我們將繼續履行使命，協助客戶實現終身財務保障，活出更健康人生。」

  • Money20/20 Asia Report: APAC Fintech Ecosystem Shifts from Experimentation to Scale as AI and Digital Assets Drive Regional Leadership

    Money20/20 Asia Report: APAC Fintech Ecosystem Shifts from Experimentation to Scale as AI and Digital Assets Drive Regional Leadership

    BANGKOK, THAILAND – Media OutReach Newswire – 6 March 2026 – Money20/20, the world’s leading fintech show and the place where money does business, unveiled its annual Future of Fintech in APAC report ahead of Money20/20 Asia in Bangkok on April 21-23 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. The whitepaper reveals APAC’s fintech ecosystem has reached a pivotal inflection point, shifting from experimentation to production-grade innovation across AI, digital payments, and assets.

    Source: Money20/20
    Source: Money20/20

    Based on insights from over 130 senior fintech leaders, the report highlights an industry moving beyond pilot programs toward enterprise-scale solutions that prioritize collaboration, digital trust, and financial inclusion as core business imperatives for 2026.

    Key Findings

    • 22.9% of respondents identify the region as their primary growth target, underscoring its continued dominance as the region’s growth engine.
    • 90.6% of executives say social good initiatives are now embedded in corporate strategy — confirming impact has become a commercial imperative.
    • 61.2% of organizations have already adopted AI or machine learning.
    • New frameworks in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan are driving institutional adoption of stablecoins and tokenized assets.
    • 63.5% of leaders cite fraud prevention as their highest operational priority.

    “APAC is no longer experimenting — it’s executing,” said Ian Fong, VP of Content at Money20/20 Asia. “The region is building financial infrastructure that is faster, safer, and more inclusive than ever before. What happens here will influence the future of money globally.”

    Digital Trust Becomes the New Currency

    With digital adoption accelerating, 63.5% of leaders identify fraud prevention as their top priority. Regulators and industry players are now pivoting toward real-time risk intelligence and AI-driven security.

    “The speed of digital adoption in APAC has outpaced traditional fraud models,” said Justin Lie, Founder & CEO of SHIELD. “What we’re seeing now is a shift toward real-time, device-level intelligence that operates silently in the background. Trust is the new currency of digital finance, and the companies that embed it in every interaction while delivering a frictionless experience will define the future of the industry.”

    Stablecoins Move into Mainstream Financial Infrastructure

    Institutional engagement with stablecoins and tokenized financial instruments has grown significantly, supported by clearer regulatory frameworks emerging across Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan.

    “Across Asia, stablecoins are already embedded in real economic activity from payments and cross-border settlements to treasury optimization,” said Yam Ki Chan, Vice President, Asia Pacific at Circle. “The region is demonstrating how digital assets can scale within financial systems, and the next phase is about interoperability and the development of an economic operating system for the internet”.

    Digital Lending Expands Financial Access

    The report highlights 72.9% of respondents believe SME-tailored fintech solutions are key to APAC’s economic growth, signaling a widening opportunity for inclusive financial innovation.

    “Financial inclusion isn’t achieved by simply putting products online — it requires building for the realities of everyday consumers,” said Moritz Gastl, General Manager of Tala Philippines. “In markets like the Philippines, trust, transparency, and flexibility matter just as much as credit scoring. Digital lending works when it empowers people, not when it replicates old systems with new interfaces.”

    Looking Ahead: Collaboration Will Define the Next Decade

    As AI scales, payment rails interconnect, and digital assets enter regulated markets, APAC is emerging as a global blueprint for future financial systems.
    “The next wave of fintech innovation will be defined by how well we balance technological advancement with social impact,” added Fong. “APAC markets are proving that financial innovation and inclusion can advance together.”
