1. FDI Capital helps to enhance the development of the Vietnam Real Estate Market

Vietnam’s real estate market has long been a magnet for foreign direct investment (FDI), with consistent interest over the years. However, recent data from the Foreign Investment Department shows a significant shift. Once a leader, the real estate sector has now dropped to third place in attracting FDI since April 2023. The registered capital has plunged nearly 61% compared to the previous year, totaling almost $1.16 billion USD, constituting approximately 11% of the total FDI.

This shift reflects the challenges confronting Vietnam’s real estate market, which stands in contrast to the positive developments in other financial sources like credit, bonds, and securities. Assessing FDI’s role, Le Hoang Chau, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Real Estate Association, emphasized that FDI is more than capital infusion; it introduces novel experiences, trends, and values while enhancing management capacities and transparency.

The article highlights possible solutions to attract FDI, including continuous review and refinement of legal regulations, selective and proactive investor engagement, flexible monetary policy, infrastructure enhancement, and a competitive business environment.

2. How many houses have foreigners bought in Vietnam in the past 10 years?

Since the enactment of the 2014 Housing Law, Vietnam has seen about 3,035 houses purchased by foreigners, primarily apartments in various projects. Under this law, foreigners can possess commercial houses for 50 years, inherit and gift them, but ownership is capped at 30% within an apartment building or 250 units in separate residential houses.

Foreigners, predominantly from countries like Korea, China, Singapore, USA, Australia, Japan, and Malaysia, have concentrated their investments in major cities and provinces, including Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Bac Ninh, Binh Duong, and Ba Ria – Vung Tau. The demand for housing among foreigners living and working in Vietnam is robust, aligning with the aspirations of around 4 million individuals looking to buy properties in the country.

3. The bank has “pumped” nearly VND 926,000 billion into real estate

The Ministry of Construction’s report, citing data from the State Bank of Vietnam, reveals a credit outstanding of VND 925,796 billion in the real estate business as of May 31, 2023. Credit structure for real estate business in the initial five months of the year has surged by 14%. This coincides with the stability in the basic interest rate and a reduction in deposit and lending interest rates, fostering a conducive lending environment.

The State Bank has taken a proactive approach by issuing directives for debt restructuring and support during difficulties. Up to May 31, 2023, 17 banks had restructured repayment terms for customers, amounting to VND 14,340 billion. The government’s encouragement of reasonable credit growth in alignment with production and business fields contributes to the economic growth trajectory.
