HOREA Chairman Le Hoang Chau: The biggest problem with the real estate market is solving problems. institution. The legal institution is a barrier, but if the legal institution is removed, it will become a driving force for development, a development resource and a competitive advantage for the country. The same goes for the real estate market. Recently, the Politburo, the National Assembly and the Government have issued many decisions to make the legal institution become the driving force for development of the country, including the real estate sector. The Politburo has issued 4 major resolutions, which are resolutions no. 57, 59, 66 and 68. In particular, Resolution 66 -NQ/TW aims to guide the removal of obstacles in legal institutions, in order to build the countrys legal institutions closer to international standards. At the same time, the construction of legal institutions must be consistent with the countrys development characteristics, to serve Vietnams development practices, thereby removing practical obstacles and promoting economic development. Meanwhile, Resolution 68 -NQ/TW is a Resolution on private economic development, determining that the private economy becomes the biggest driving force for national development. To remove backlogged projects and obstacles, the National Assembly issued very special resolutions. Accordingly, in Resolution 170/2024/QH15, for the first time, the National Assembly issued a list of 64 problematic projects and the National Assembly directly provided a resolution mechanism, including 49 projects in the city. Da Nang, 11 projects in Khanh Hoa and 4 projects in Ho Chi Minh City. Never before has the National Assembly issued a thematic and specific Resolution with such a mechanism. The Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association is currently proposing that the National Assembly continue to apply that mechanism to a number of other similar projects. Along with that, the National Assembly also issued Resolution 171/2024/QH15 (Resolution 71) allowing the implementation of commercial housing pilot projects for businesses that have agreed to receive land use rights for residential land and other land or to receive land use rights for land other than residential land to build commercial housing. commercial or have the right to use land other than residential land for a commercial housing project. From the National Assemblys policy when issuing Resolution 171, the Government issued Decree 75/2025/ND-CP to guide the implementation of the National Assemblys Resolution 171 on this pilot issue. From the National Assemblys policy and the Governments implementation instructions, a number of localities have pioneered and applied this mechanism. According to statistics, before merging with Ho Chi Minh City, on June 25, 2025, the Peoples Council of Binh Duong province (old) met to pass a Resolution allowing 201 land plots with more than 983 hectares to be piloted according to Resolution 171. By September 2025, the Peoples Council of Ho Chi Minh City (new) approved the first phase with a total of 54 land plots, with an area of more than 6 million m2, of which the Rice farming land is expected to be converted to nearly 213,000 square meters, piloted according to Resolution 171. Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association believes that, in the condition of three similar areas, Ho Chi Minh City needs to continue to boldly promote removing difficulties for the next projects piloted according to Resolution 171 to soon release resources, creating conditions for the Citys socio-economic development. Currently, after Horeas feedback, the Department Agriculture and Environment of Ho Chi Minh City continues to propose the second phase of land plots piloted under Resolution 171 in two areas, Ho Chi Minh City (old) and Ba Ria - Vung Tau area.
