Over recent years, the National Assembly, Government and Prime Minister have directed coordinated actions to remove difficulties, boost investment, and increase the supply of housing and real estate across segments, with a particular focus on social housing.
From 2021 to the present, the Ministry of Construction has chaired and submitted to competent authorities two laws, one National Assembly resolution, 14 Government decrees, eight decisions (including directive and executive decisions), and issued eight circulars.

Looking ahead to 2026, the market is forecast to be “active with caution,” with apartment and housing segments serving real demand continuing to lead. The article adds that market differentiation is expected to become more pronounced as buyers and investors prioritize projects with transparent legal status, coherent infrastructure, practical use value and established developer credibility—supporting a healthier market, reduced speculation and sustainable growth.
