A resident reported that his father’s land certificate, issued in February 1995, lists 1,100 m² of “thổ cư” land, and the land registration office returned the reissuance file because the area exceeded the limit and this land type is not among those under the current Land Law. The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment said such cases must be assessed against archived records and local rules, citing clause 2 of Decree No. 49/2026/NĐ-CP dated 31/01/2026: for certificates issued before 01/07/2004 that do not specify the residential area, the provincial People’s Committee sets how that area is determined. This can be done together with a land registration change or separately under the province’s procedure. Residents may send feedback or petitions to the People’s Committee or the Department of Agriculture and Environment for guidance.

- 'Firms That Have Not Fully Paid Land Fees Should Be Allowed to Transfer Stalled Projects'
Nguyễn Thị Việt Nga, deputy head of the Hải Phòng delegation to the National Assembly, proposed letting businesses that have not fully paid land fees transfer unfinished projects, so frozen resources can return to the economy. Draft Article 30 of the amended Real Estate Business Law requires investors to complete land financial obligations before transferring all or part of a project. Nga agrees with the rule, which prevents debt write-offs through transfers, but says investors that lose or seriously weaken financial capacity need a solution, as stalled projects tie up land and credit. Her proposal allows the buyer to take over outstanding obligations, subject to the authority confirming the amount, the buyer proving financial capacity, and the balance being paid from the transfer price into the budget, with no debt write-off. Bùi Xuân Hải, rector of Hải Phòng University, backs a similar approach but asks for written commitments on deadlines for meeting obligations to the State.
- Proposed 0.2% tax on idle land and land left unused or slow to be put to use
On the morning of October 23, the National Assembly heard the government's proposal and the review report on draft amendments to several tax laws, including the Law on Non-Agricultural Land Use Tax. The government proposes a 0.2% tax rate, with no area limit, for idle land and land that is not or is slowly being put to use, to institutionalize Resolution 21-NQ/TW. The Economic and Financial Committee agrees in principle but says the proposal conflicts with the current law, which applies 0.15% to unused land, and with the draft amended Land Law. It warns of possible double financial obligations for investment projects that leave land unused or slow to use it, and asks the drafting agency to clarify the basis, timeline and relationship with land use fees and land rental payments.
- National Assembly spends full day debating three draft laws on land, housing and real estate
On October 22, the National Assembly spent the day in group debate on three amended laws: the Land Law, the Housing Law and the Real Estate Business Law, after ministers presented the drafts and committees reported on them. For the Land Law, the draft aims to base land valuation on scientific data and methods, refine land price tables and adjustment coefficients to prevent manipulation and “virtual” land prices, and clearly define the limited cases in which land may be recovered before compensation plans are approved. Vice Chairman Nguyễn Hồng Diên urged safeguards against interest-group capture and corruption, and a review to keep the three laws consistent. For the Real Estate Business Law, he called for a mechanism to resolve projects whose investors can no longer carry them out, consider widening the types of contracts that may be transferred, and standardise public disclosure of model contracts to reduce disputes.
- From 2027, the following cases will not be allowed to transfer Red Book (Sổ đỏ) land certificates: residents should take note!
Under Article 45 of the 2024 Land Law, transferring a Red Book (Sổ đỏ) through sale, lease, inheritance or gift requires a complete land certificate, land free of disputes (or disputes resolved by an effective court judgment or decision), no seizure or enforcement measures, and remaining land-use term. Individuals' protection-forest and special-use forest land cannot be transferred, especially in strictly protected or ecological restoration zones, unless the land use is changed under an approved plan. Economic organisations cannot receive transfers of protection or special-use forest land (except under an approved plan), and individuals not living in the forest area cannot receive land in those protected zones. Communities, religious organisations, overseas Vietnamese and foreign-invested organisations also cannot receive transfers or gifts where the law does not allow it.
- Draft Housing Law (amended): Tightening conditions for transferring social housing
The Government's draft amended Housing Law tightens rules on reselling social housing after 5 years to prevent policy exploitation. Under the draft, once the full purchase price is paid and 5 years have passed, owners may resell social housing only to people eligible for social housing support, whereas the current law allows market-based transfers with no restriction on buyers. For rent-to-own social housing, a tenant who no longer needs the unit may have to terminate the contract and return the home, rather than transfer it freely as under current rules. Sales, rent-to-own and lease transactions for social housing would also need to be recorded in the national housing and real estate market information and database system.
- Latvia targets tokenization rules in 2027 with commercial property in focus
Economics Minister Viktors Valainis says rules for tokenizing real-world assets could arrive in the first half of 2027, with commercial property a possible starting point and government bonds on the priority list. A legal assessment due October 1 is still ongoing, and the work is expected to stay on the agenda of the next government, as Valainis's party won no seats in this month's election and Latvia forms a new administration. He stresses that anti-money-laundering risks must be understood and managed before new rules are introduced, and says about 40 companies are seeking licenses under the EU's MiCA framework. He also reiterates personal support for a small national bitcoin reserve, though no approved proposal or purchase timetable has been identified.

- Chip Stocks to Buy After Their Worst Day Since June
The PHLX Semiconductor Index fell 6.7% on Oct. 22, its worst day since June 23, after Lam Research reported record revenue of $8.22 billion but warned that clean-room space and parts shortages would limit chipmakers' ability to meet demand into 2027. Micron expects memory supply to stay tight in 2027 and 2028, yet its stock is down 29% from its June 25 record close. AMD and Marvell are each about 22% below their Oct. 6 closes. The author says all three are worth considering after the drop, with Micron the first to look at because its price seems to reflect a downturn its own outlook does not show. AMD and Marvell carry higher earnings multiples and need their plans to hold up, and a slowdown in AI spending could still hit all three hard.
- Will gold prices keep falling this week?
On the morning of Oct. 26, domestic gold prices kept falling with global prices, as SJC gold bars were quoted at 138.7–141.7 million VND per luong (buy–sell), down 300,000 VND from the weekend. World gold was quoted at $3,986 an ounce, down $7 from the previous morning. In Kitco News' weekly survey, 7 of 17 experts expected prices to fall this week, 4 expected a rise, and 6 saw a sideways move or no clear trend. The article says prices may keep falling in the short term, but buying could emerge once gold drops below $4,000 an ounce.
- Banks pledge to lead and unlock momentum for Southeast Vietnam
A conference titled “Banking sector supporting capital mobilization for Southeast region growth, 2026-2030,” organized by the State Bank of Vietnam with the HCMC People's Committee, saw 18 cooperation agreements aimed at adding resources for key projects in the region. HDBank and Vikki Digital Bank pledged 124,500 billion VND for four projects in HCMC and Dong Nai, excluding their co-financing of Metro lines 4–5, while VietinBank, Agribank, MB and Vietcombank also committed funds to transport, industrial and social housing projects. The SBV said 35 key projects nationwide need about 1.7 quadrillion VND in loans, including 15 in the Southeast needing about 757,000 billion VND, and it has mechanisms to exclude these loans from or add to banks' credit growth quotas. HDBank urged faster land clearance, legal completion and data sharing to shorten appraisal times, and it raised a 721 million USD social loan in 2026.
- Proposal to fine violators up to 3 billion VND, cut off electricity, water and internet
On the morning of Oct. 26, Minister of Public Security Lương Tam Quang submitted to the National Assembly the government's draft amended Law on Handling Administrative Violations, with 6 chapters and 128 articles, raising maximum fines to 1.5 billion VND for individuals and 3 billion VND for organizations. The draft also extends limitation periods to 1–3 years depending on the field, from 1–2 years under the current law, and adds enforcement measures such as suspending exit, sealing premises, cutting electricity and water supply, and suspending internet and telecom services. The minister stressed stricter conditions for these measures to protect rights and avoid affecting uninvolved individuals and organizations. The National Assembly's review committee agreed the law needs comprehensive revision but asked for further review of the extended periods by field and more fundamental remedies than higher fines, and said cutting off electricity, water and internet is aimed at halting violations rather than enforcing penalty decisions, so these provisions need adjustment.
- Gold steadies near 3-mth low as elevated oil prices weigh; Fed meet eyed
Gold held steady in Asian trade on Monday after falling more than 4% last week, at $3,995.42 an ounce. The metal slipped below $4,000 on Friday for the first time since mid-July, mainly due to an oil surge amid elevated Middle East conflict, with Brent up 6.2% last week to its highest weekly close since mid-2022. Higher energy costs could prolong inflation pressures and limit central banks' room to ease policy. Investors widely expect the Fed to keep rates unchanged at its Oct. 27–28 meeting, while CME FedWatch data showed about a 78% probability of a December rate hike. The 10-year US Treasury yield near 5% keeps pressure on non-yielding gold, and the PCE inflation report due Oct. 29 will be the next test for the inflation outlook.
- Hong Kong names Nasdaq-listed Solana Company a strategic enterprise
Hong Kong has named Nasdaq-listed Solana Company (HSDT) a strategic enterprise under the Office for Attracting Strategic Enterprises (OASES) program, making it the only blockchain infrastructure firm onboarded in 2026.

Solana Company runs staking and validator infrastructure, advises financial institutions on blockchain adoption, and holds Solana (SOL) as part of its digital asset treasury strategy. It plans to set up validator operations in Hong Kong under Pacific Backbone, an initiative to build a low-latency blockchain network across Asia-Pacific.
