Real estate businesses have issued nearly VND12 trillion worth of corporate bonds since Government Decree 08 came into effect on March 6.

These provisions require professional individual investors to hold a bond portfolio totaling at least VND2 billion for 180 days or longer, and debt-issuing organizations to report their credit ratings and sell their bonds within 30 days.
