VOV.VN - Vietnam’s housing policy needs to shift toward a more sustainable restructuring of living arrangements, with greater emphasis on social housing for rent and long-term affordability rather than sheer volume, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said on January 13.

VOV.VN - After more than a year of implementation, Vietnam has largely completed its nationwide programme to eliminate temporary and dilapidated housing, finishing five years and four months ahead of schedule.

VOV.VN - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on December 17 requested relevant ministries and localities to accelerate housing policies to ensure affordable access for all residents, saying no one should be left behind in exercising the right to housing.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chính, who is also head of the Central Steering Committee on Housing Policy and Real Estate Market, has demanded stricter oversight and transparency in the approval, sale, rental, and rent-to-own processes of social housing units.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has pressed for answers on why apartment prices remain persistently high and ordered clarification on whether real estate market manipulation, including hoarding, price rigging, and speculative practices, has occurred.

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on October 25 ordered competent ministries and local administrations to evaluate the real estate situation as well as the responsibilities of relevant sides in housing market predictions and regulation of the realty product segments.
