Over 3,400 stalled projects nationwide have been resolved, with 650 projects in Ho Chi Minh City alone progressing smoothly.
As of mid-September, thousands of stalled and long-delayed projects remain nationwide. In Ho Chi Minh City, legal obstacles have been resolved for 650 projects, contributing to the release of significant resources from land and investment capital that had been tied up for many years.
Nationwide, over 72% of problematic projects have been classified and processed.
According to data from the Ministry of Finance as of September 15th, a total of 4,685 long -standing and problematic projects nationwide have been registered on the 751 System.
Of these, 3,407 projects (accounting for 72.7%) with a total investment of over 2.5 trillion VND have completed the classification and processing process and no longer face any obstacles or difficulties. These projects fall entirely under the jurisdiction of ministries, sectors, and localities.
In addition, 1,123 projects (accounting for 23.97%) have had proposed solutions for future implementation by ministries, sectors, and localities. The remaining 155 projects (accounting for 3.3%) are proposed to be handled by the National Assembly, the Government, and the Prime Minister.
The Ministry of Finance stated that it will continue to update data, promptly review and classify outstanding issues related to land , construction, planning, investment procedures, and contractor selection in 2026 to report to competent authorities for consideration and definitive resolution.
The goal is to bring the projects into operation as soon as possible, unlocking resources to serve the target of double-digit GDP growth.
Ho Chi Minh City completes the removal of obstacles for 650 projects.
In Ho Chi Minh City, as of September 5th, a total of 1,338 projects facing long-standing difficulties and obstacles have been registered on the Department of Finance's System 45, covering an area of over 30,691 hectares and with a total investment value of 658,084 billion VND.
Speaking to Tuoi Tre newspaper , Mr. Le Hoang Chau - Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association (HoREA) - said that before the National Assembly issued Resolution No. 29/2026/QH16 on April 24, Ho Chi Minh City had processed 417 projects according to Plan 34/KH-UBND, freeing up 17,000 hectares of land and 206,000 billion VND worth of investment.
Following the implementation of Resolution 29/2026/QH16 of the National Assembly and Directive 45/CT-UBND of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City, the Department of Finance has compiled a list of 921 projects (including 421 transitional projects and 500 newly registered projects).
After just three months of urgent and decisive action, Ho Chi Minh City has completed the removal of obstacles and difficulties for 233 projects (accounting for 25.3%). For the remaining 688 projects (accounting for 74.7%), relevant departments have also proposed solutions for the future.
Overall, across all phases, the city has successfully resolved difficulties for a total of 650 stalled and long-standing projects.
Housing supply is increasing, but purchasing power remains weak. Speaking further to Tuoi Tre newspaper , Mr. Le Hoang Chau assessed that resolving difficulties for 650 projects has helped the Ho Chi Minh City real estate market experience positive changes in the first seven months of 2026. Specifically, the city has 37 real estate and commercial housing projects eligible for capital mobilization, with a total of 27,374 units (including 21,165 apartment units and 6,209 low-rise houses), an increase of 1.64 times compared to the whole year of 2025 (only 16,671 units). However, Mr. Chau also frankly pointed out that although house prices have shown signs of "stagnation" and a downward trend, current purchasing power remains very weak due to excessively high loan interest rates and the difficulty for individuals and businesses to access credit. This directly impacts the cash flow and liquidity of real estate businesses. On the other hand, the market is still severely lacking products that meet real needs, such as affordable commercial housing, low-cost rental housing, and social housing. According to the Chairman of HoREA, the business community has high expectations that at the 3rd session of the National Assembly in October and November 2026, the National Assembly will fully institutionalize the central government's policies to amend the 2024 Land Law and related laws such as the Housing Law, the Real Estate Business Law, the Investment Law (amended)... ensuring consistency, uniformity, and interconnectedness. |
