According to the Ministry of Construction, Vietnam currently has around 2,991 real estate projects that are stalled or facing unresolved difficulties, with a total investment value of nearly $100bn. Official figures show that the 2,991 stalled projects nationwide account for total investment of about $100bn. These include Resolution 201 on special policies for social housing development, and Resolution 171 on piloting commercial housing projects through agreements on land-use rights. “The key solution is to accelerate the development of social housing.”So far, there are 698 social housing projects underway nationwide, with a total scale of about 657,000 apartments. Despite strong growth in social housing supply, it still lags far behind the volume of commercial housing priced at over $3,300 per square metre.
