The Livable Project Program 2025 contributes to improving the quality of urban life

This was shared by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ho Sy Hung—President of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI)—at the Forum: “The Real Estate Market in the New Phase—Awarding Certificates for Livable Projects 2025.”

The report from the Statistics Department of the Ministry of Finance showed that Vietnam’s socio-economic situation continued its positive trend, economic growth is being promoted, macroeconomic stability is basically maintained, inflation is under control, and major economic balances are ensured, with an estimated GDP growth of over 8%...

In this context, the Vietnam construction and real estate sectors also show positive signs, contributing to Vietnam’s GDP growth. Regarding the real estate sector, in recent times, the Government and the Prime Minister have paid close attention and directed the implementation of many synchronized solutions to promote property projects.

“Looking at the real estate market in 2025, we can see a strong increase in supply, with some data showing over 100,000 products entering the market, up approximately 22% or more against 2024. At the same time, nearly 90,000 new products were launched to the market in 2025… Furthermore, these products are very large in scale,” Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ho Sy Hung shared.

Similarly, along with a sharp increase in supply, property prices in the market also tend to rise, and the pace of increase is uneven—this is characteristic of the market in 2025.

"The social housing has also been strongly promoted, from the Prime Minister to various ministries and relevant authorities, including the Ministry of Construction, resulting in a significantly improved supply of social housing. "Many projects contributed to changing the region, even the socio-economic landscape," Mr. Ho Sy Hung stated.

At today's forum, the Organizing Committee strives to encourage the most lively and in-depth discussions from panelists, contributing powerful solutions for reforming and improving the legal framework. Because, despite positive results, the government's report also stated, "The real estate market remains complex"—a statement clearly made at previous meetings.

Therefore, as we enter 2026, this Forum is very important for VCCI and the Business Forum Magazine, along with the experts and Government authorities, to discuss and contribute recommendations on how to build a healthy and sustainable real estate market, create a solid foundation for the country's development and a safe base for social security so that the housing dream will become a reality.

Appreciating the initiative of the Business Forum Magazine in implementing the Livable Project Program over the years, the VCCI President expressed that, in reality, real estate projects with healthy living spaces, close to nature, focusing on health care, and fostering environmental awareness among residents tend to be highly attractive to buyers.

In particular, within the overall picture of the real estate market, Mr. Ho Sy Hung believes that the livable project certification has added a bright picture to urban life. For businesses whose real estate products have received this certification, it will be a great encouragement for them to strive for better performance in future projects, contributing to the improvement of the quality of urban life.

In addition, the VCCI President hoped that, entering its eighth year, the Livable Project Program would not only meet the necessary conditions regarding technical infrastructure and facilities but also fulfill the sufficient conditions regarding the value that the project brings to society.
