The journey is complete
In the news June 25, 2026There is a question that has occupied philosophers across cultures and centuries: what does it mean to live in a world where everything changes, and nothing lasts?
The link between exchange rate and bamboo toothpicks
In the news June 24, 2026The first publication of Thoi bao Kinh te Sai Gon that I knew was The Saigon Times Weekly when I was a high school student back in 1998. To help me improve my English proficiency, my father saved money to buy the magazine for me. The initial purpose was not to help me study economics but to learn English.
A story that time could not fade
In the news June 24, 2026Whether these words are fitting for a farewell, I cannot say. Yet as I look back on the more than one thousand days I spent contributing to the Saigon Times Group, from the summer of 2021 until now, through the “Tra du tuu hau” column in the Culture & Society section, these words emerged from the heart of a writer. They capture a journey that has meant far more to me than I can easily express, and one that will forever remain a cherished milestone in my life.
A cradle for journalists
In the news June 24, 2026As the Saigon Times Group comes to the end of its 35-year journey, I am saying goodbye to more than a publication. For the past three years, as a contributor learning under its guidance, I have come to see the newsroom as my school of journalism – a place that shaped the way I think, sharpened my writing, and left a lasting mark on my professional life.
A magazine rich in knowledge and insight
In the news June 24, 2026Throughout Vietnam’s reform and international integration process, HCMC has consistently served as the nation’s economic engine and largest center for commerce, finance, and innovation. Accompanying this development has been the enduring presence and contribution of Kinh tế Sài Gòn magazine (formerly Thời báo Kinh tế Sài Gòn), one of Vietnam’s most reputable economic media organizations.
A forum of knowledge and responsibility
In the news June 24, 2026It is with deep regret that I must bid farewell to a magazine, a companion, and a forum where experts, entrepreneurs, and lawyers have long found a common voice in their aspiration to build a society that respects knowledge, creativity, and social responsibility.
Growing up with Kinh Te Sai Gon
In the news June 24, 2026The first thing I did when I held a complimentary copy of Thời báo Kinh tế Sài Gòn—the flagship Vietnamese-language publication of the Saigon Times Group—was flip through the pages, searching for my name in the contributors’ section. My heart raced, fueled by equal parts nervousness and an unfamiliar surge of pride.
An ending that marks a new beginning
In the news June 24, 2026On June 30, 2026, Thời báo Kinh tế Sài Gòn will bring to a close a journey that has lasted more than 35 years.
A place in my memories
In the news June 24, 2026One afternoon more than thirty years ago, I walked from No. 1 Ton That Dam Street—the side entrance of the State Bank of Vietnam building, where BNP Bank had rented office space for its branch for a period and where I once worked—to the offices of Thời báo Kinh tế Sài Gòn at 35 Nam Ky Khoi Nghia Street to collect the honorarium for my first article published by the newspaper.
What is economic journalism for?
In the news June 24, 2026We have to acknowledge one thing: Vietnamese people are remarkably entrepreneurial. They are constantly searching for business opportunities and adapting with extraordinary speed whenever the business environment changes—often in ways that no business school or management course could ever teach.
