Vietnam expects to have 108 social housing projects with over 47,500 apartments completed in 2024, according to the Ministry of Construction.

Real estate remains a good investment channel in the long term, and the market will start recovering in 2024, insiders have said.

The State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) will step up the information work to further popularise the social housing loan package among the public given its sluggish disbursement, SBV Governor Nguyen Thi Hong said at a question and answer session of the 15th National Assembly in Hanoi on November 6.

To date, 10 provinces have sent their lists of projects for access to a VND120 trillion (US$5.11 billion) housing credit package, heard an online conference on reviewing a resolution to remove difficulties for the development of the real estate market chaired by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on August 3.

In an effort to address the ongoing challenges faced by the domestic real estate market, an approach encompassing legal, administrative, and financial solutions is urgently required, particularly in the realm of credit.
