HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 13 October 2026 – On October 13, the CICC Global Institute (CGI) held its 2026Q4 Macro Forum in Bangkok, Thailand, under the theme “China’s Economy amid Global Rebalancing: New Paradigms and New Industries”. The forum featured welcome remarks, keynote speeches, two thematic dialogues and an evening discussion session.

Yanliang Miao, Chief Economist and Senior Managing Director of CICC, shared his insights on China’s economic transformation and the evolving international monetary order in his opening remarks and keynote speech. He noted that understanding China requires a global rebalancing perspective, considering both the dynamism of emerging industries and the implications of the transition from old to new growth engines for jobs, incomes and demand. Alongside its green and digital transitions, China is also working toward a growth model supported by higher household incomes and services-led consumption. Turning to the international monetary order, he observed that shifts in the global economy, trade networks and financial technology are driving the evolution toward a more diversified international monetary system. Economic and trade strength do not automatically translate into international currency status: institutional credibility and the depth and breadth of financial markets remain central to understanding this evolution and the internationalization of the renminbi.

Huimin Wu, Executive Dean of CICC Global Institute and Deputy Head of Research Department at CICC, noted that, as discussed in The New Pattern of Dual Circulation, a book jointly published this year by CICC Global Institute and CICC Research Department, China’s economy is entering a new stage of development. Its trade and outward investment are undergoing a paradigm shift, while emerging industries are becoming increasingly important drivers of growth in the global economy. These changes are both part of the broader process of global economic rebalancing and deeply shaped by it, giving rise to a new pattern of interaction between China and the global economy.

The forum brought together experts and industry representatives from institutions including the International Monetary Fund (IMF), ASEAN+3 Macroeconomic Research Office (AMRO), Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance (SAIF) at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, National University of Singapore, ICBC Standard Bank, Wood Mackenzie, and NSQ Capital. Discussions focused on the transformations of China’s trade and outward investment and their global implications, as well as the prospects for emerging industries such as innovative pharmaceuticals, green energy, and artificial intelligence.

This marked the first time the CGI Quarterly Macro Forum was held in Southeast Asia. Taking place during the week of the IMF and World Bank Annual Meetings, amid international discussions on global economic opportunities and challenges, the event brought Chinese perspectives to the global conversation and offered Chinese insights into key issues concerning China’s economy that are of broad international interest.

As an important part of CGI’s ongoing efforts to strengthen international exchanges, present China’s perspective, and foster a deeper understanding of China’s economic transformation process, the event was an innovative exploration. Looking ahead, CGI will continue to deepen its international engagement and work toward building an international dialogue platform focused on China’s economy, contributing to greater mutual trust and consensus, and playing a positive role in this cause.

Guided by Carlsberg’s Master Brewer, Zoran Gojkovic, this first-of-its-kind collaboration takes diners on a seamless, effortless journey from digital inspiration to tableside enjoyment. From exploring curated food-and-beer pairing trails, unlocking limited vouchers, and heading to partner restaurants to enjoy the perfect pairing. Whether gathering over familiar favourites, uncovering Hue specialities or making time for a leisurely weekend meal, the experience transforms everyday dining into moments worth savouring.

Carlsberg’s Master Brewer Brings His Expertise to Vietnam’s Vibrant Tables for Memorable Pairings

Marking the launch, Carlsberg’s Master Brewer, Zoran Gojkovic, travelled across Southeast Asia, trading the brewhouse for the region’s most exciting kitchens. At every stop, he sat down with chefs, restaurant partners and local food communities to explore the rich culinary traditions behind each dish and share the brewing science behind great pairings. Along the journey, Zoran drew on decades of brewing expertise to match every innovative dish with the perfect brew from Carlsberg’s portfolio, revealing how local food culture and brewing craftsmanship blend seamlessly at the same table.

With limited deals now available on Grab Dine Out, Carlsberg is redefining the modern beer occasion in a bustling city filled with vibrant local flavours.

Daniel Thomas Grass, Senior Marketing Director of Carlsberg Vietnam, said: “Vietnam has an incredibly rich food culture, and beer has always been part of many of the occasions where people come together. Through this partnership with Grab, we are bringing Carlsberg’s brewing expertise closer to these local eating occasions, making it easier for consumers to discover new food and beer pairings and enjoy our portfolio in a fresh and relevant way.”

Hanoi’s Social Dining Scene Meets a Crisp Pour with Halida and Carlsberg

Hanoi’s dining culture is built around generous sharing plates, assertive flavours and a social energy that extends from neighbourhood restaurants to Tạ Hiện St. after dark. Halida suits the relaxed occasions with its refreshing, easy-drinking character, while Carlsberg offers a brighter, cleaner match for more contemporary dishes.

At Nhà Hàng Sông Tiền, Halida Draught provides refreshment alongside the savoury richness of field crab hot pot, crispy salt-and-pepper frog legs and chilli-salt grilled sturgeon; while at Bia Phố Đêm,Halida pair naturally with fried fermented pork rolls, roasted peanuts and barbecue plates.

For a more refined expression of Hanoi dining, Carlsberg brings a clean finish to fermented pork wrapped with lobster at Sin Gallery Eatery & Bar. At Lit Restobar, it refreshes the palate while allowing the citrus fragrance and gentle warmth of mắc khén pepper on grilled pork cheeks to come through.

Huda Brings Hue’s Heritage and Evening Gatherings Together

In Hue, Huda takes centre stage across the city’s everyday dishes, royal-inspired cooking and evening social occasions. Its longstanding connection with Central Vietnam makes it a natural accompaniment to both the depth and delicacy of Hue cuisine.

With the aromatic broth of bun bo at Bún Bò Bà Nga, Huda provides a refreshing counterpoint that keeps each mouthful balanced. At Vườn Ý Thảo (Ý Thảo Garden), its easy-drinking character complements a more intricate meal of phoenix sausage spring rolls and Hue specialities including bánh bèo, bánh nậm, bánh lọc and bánh khoái.

For a more contemporary expression, Huda Ice Twist brings a bright, refreshing finish to TÀ VẸT‘s evening sharing menu of beef with pickled eggplants, Vietnamese cold cuts, crispy fried pork belly and lightly cooked shrimp. The result is Huda in a different setting, while remaining closely connected to Hue’s local social culture.

U. of I. and NANO Nuclear have continued technical engagement with the NRC through the ongoing audit process following formal acceptance of the KRONOS MMR™ Construction Permit Application for review

Continued licensing progress supports NANO Nuclear’s previously disclosed expectation for the opportunity to begin initial construction activities in the second half of 2027

New York, New York–(Newsfile Corp. – October 13, 2026) – NANO Nuclear Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: NNE) (“NANO Nuclear” or the “Company”), an advanced nuclear energy and technology company developing microreactors, nuclear fuel cycle capabilities and nuclear transportation solutions, today announced continued progress in the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (“NRC”) review of the Construction Permit Application (“CPA”) for deployment of NANO Nuclear’s KRONOS MMR™ Energy System at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (“U. of I.”).

Following the submission of the CPA by U. of I. on March 31, 2026, formal acceptance of the CPA for review by the NRC on May 18, 2026, and the initiation of formal review activities on June 23, 2026, U. of I. and NANO Nuclear have since been engaging with the NRC as part of its detailed audit and technical review process for several months.

Throughout the ongoing audit, technical teams from U. of I. and NANO Nuclear have maintained frequent engagement with NRC staff, responding to questions, providing additional information and discussing technical areas identified by the NRC as part of its review. NANO Nuclear believes this sustained interaction represents an important component of advancing the CPA through the NRC’s safety, environmental and technical review process.

The current audit activities are expected to continue over the near-term, with U. of I. and NANO Nuclear seeing opportunity for completion of this phase in the coming months, subject to the NRC’s review schedule, the scope and timing of any additional information requests and other regulatory considerations.

The NRC’s current public project schedule targets completion of a draft Environmental Assessment and draft Safety Evaluation in February 2027 with a final Environmental Assessment in May 2027, followed by issuance of the final Safety Evaluation in September 2027. These milestones remain consistent with NANO Nuclear’s previously disclosed expectation for initial construction activities for the KRONOS MMR™ project at the U. of I. to commence during the second half of 2027, subject to receipt of the required regulatory approvals and other customary project requirements.

“The continued progress of the KRONOS MMR™ through the NRC’s review process reflects the years of technical, regulatory and engineering work that have gone into this program,” said Jay Yu, Chairman and President of NANO Nuclear Energy. “Together with U. of I., we are steadily advancing one of the most important objectives for NANO Nuclear: moving our flagship reactor technology from engineering and development toward construction and real-world demonstration. Each step forward in the licensing process brings us closer to that goal and strengthens the foundation for our broader deployment strategy.”

“The NRC’s review of the KRONOS MMR™ Construction Permit Application is a detailed and rigorous process, and the sustained engagement between the NRC, U. of I. and our technical teams is exactly what we expect at this stage of the program,” said James Walker, Chief Executive Officer of NANO Nuclear Energy. “Our focus is on working methodically through the NRC’s questions and technical areas of review and providing the information necessary to support its independent evaluation. We are encouraged by the progress to date and remain focused on maintaining the technical and regulatory discipline required to advance the KRONOS MMR™ project toward the opportunity to begin initial construction activities in the second half of 2027.”

“A project of this nature requires extensive and sustained engagement with the NRC to demonstrate the safety basis of the technology and provide the rigorous technical information necessary for the regulator’s independent review,” said Caleb Brooks, Abel Bliss Professor and Donald Biggar Willett Faculty Scholar of Nuclear, Plasma and Radiological Engineering at the U. of I.’s Grainger College of Engineering. “The ongoing audit provides an important forum for our teams to work through detailed technical questions with NRC staff as the Construction Permit Application progresses. We remain committed to this rigorous process and to advancing the KRONOS MMR™ project as a potentially unique platform for nuclear research, education, workforce development and at-scale demonstration.”
