Tiếng Việt❓What should investors, developers, and businesses expect from Vietnam’s next wave of land law reforms?
On 28 July 2026, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam issued Resolution No. 21-NQ/TW, setting out the policy direction for amending the Land Law and related legislation. While not directly applicable, the Resolution provides a clear roadmap for future legislative reforms.
🔍 Key Legal Highlights
🏗️ Integrated Planning – Simplifying land-use planning while strengthening control over planning adjustments to improve transparency and legal certainty.
🏢 Land Allocation & Leasing – Reinforcing auctions and competitive bidding as the primary allocation mechanisms, with clearer rules for exceptions and negotiated acquisitions.
🏘️ Land Acquisition – Shifting the focus from mere compensation to restoring livelihoods, improving resettlement policies and reducing land-related disputes.
💰 Land Pricing – Enhancing data-driven and transparent valuation methods while strengthening State oversight to prevent price manipulation and speculation.
📊 Tax & Anti-Speculation Measures – Introducing policies to discourage land hoarding, idle land, and speculative transactions, promoting more efficient land use.
💻 Digital Land Governance – Accelerating a unified national land database, mandatory registration of land rights and transactions, and greater interconnectivity across public registries.
⚖️ Stronger Compliance & Enforcement – Increasing oversight of public land, delayed projects, land-use violations, and strengthening anti-corruption measures in land administration.
