Việt Nam’s real estate market is undergoing a pivotal transition, shaped by three major structural changes – the administrative boundary mergers, the rollout of large-scale infrastructure projects, and the implementation of the amended Land Law 2025, which will take effect in early next year. The Government’s decision to merge certain provinces and cities is expected to necessitate adjustments to all existing master plans while streamlining project approval procedures.

The strategy sets a target for e-commerce sales to expand by an average of 15-20 per cent annually, accounting for 15-20 per cent of total retail sales of goods and consumer services by 2030. Around 40-45 per cent of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are expected to participate on e-commerce platforms.

So far in 2025, Vietnam’s economy has demonstrated strong resilience, maintaining stable macroeconomic fundamentals, keeping inflation under control, sustaining a sizable trade surplus, and continuing to attract steady foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows. However, challenges remain as domestic consumption grows slowly, private investment stays cautious, and public investment disbursement falls short of expectations, all adding pressure in the fourth quarter. 

The 2026 Round of the ASEAN Internship Scheme (the Scheme) for Hong Kong Higher Education Students is taking off. You and your company as well as your organization are cordially invited to become Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Singapore’s host organisation, providing internship opportunities to Hong Kong university students in the summer of 2026 in your country and city.

The third quarter of 2025 marked a remarkable resurgence for several prominent real estate companies, as they reported substantial increases in both revenue and profit. This wave of financial success is seen as a positive indicator of the market's recovery after an extended period of stagnation. Key players such as Becamex IJC, Sunshine Group, and Hodeco have all shown impressive financial results.

According to the Department of Vietnam Customs, the country’s total import-export value reached US$680.66 billion in the first nine months of 2025, up 17.3% year on year. This strong growth demonstrates the effectiveness of recent policies that have supported production, boosted exports, and expanded markets.
