These strong reforms are creating practical incentives for businesses, helping to reduce costs, remove barriers and expand production and business activities, thereby contributing to promoting economic growth.
Issued 142 legal documents
The institutional building work of the Industry and Trade sector is recording outstanding results, demonstrating the spirit of innovative thinking and breakthrough actions. In the 2021-2025 period, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has presided over the drafting and promulgation of more than 250 legal documents and related to the major policies of the sector, including 5 laws, 51 decrees and more than 20 important strategies, plans, programs.
In 2025 alone, the Ministry has developed 142 legal documents - a record high, including 4 laws, 2 resolutions of the National Assembly ; 47 decrees, 7 decisions of the Government, the Prime Minister and 82 circulars. Also in the 2021-2025 period, the Ministry abolished 95 procedures, amended 347 procedures and decentralized hundreds of procedures; 100% of administrative procedures are provided at levels 3 and 4.
Director of the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development (Ministry of Industry and Trade) Tran Huu Linh said that institution building is identified as the top priority task of the unit. In 2025, the Department is assigned to develop 9 decrees and at least 2 circulars - an unprecedented volume, demonstrating the viewpoint that "policy must come first". In particular, the decrees belong to 3 groups: Trade infrastructure; conditional business items; market inspection and supervision.
Experts believe that the above institutional breakthroughs have strengthened the legal foundation for the fields under the management of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. The documents have a wide scope of regulation, directly impacting businesses in economic sectors and people's lives, contributing to the timely institutionalization of the Party's guidelines and the State's policies.
According to Director of DACE Agricultural Development and Environmental Consulting Company Limited Tran Van Hieu, the Ministry of Industry and Trade's recent efforts to build and improve institutions have created a clear change in agricultural product export activities, helping businesses significantly reduce time and costs and increase their ability to meet the strict standards of the international market. Accordingly, regulations on traceability, food safety and cross-border trade... have been amended and supplemented to help businesses be more proactive in negotiating with partners, while limiting risks in customs clearance. "These innovations open up great room for Vietnamese agricultural products to improve quality, expand markets and increase competitiveness," Mr. Tran Van Hieu emphasized.
Create a favorable environment for business development
Along with institutional development, law enforcement is being promoted by the Ministry of Industry and Trade. Vice Chairwoman of the National Competition Commission (Ministry of Industry and Trade) Tran Thi Mai Huong emphasized that innovation in law making and enforcement is the key task of the unit. The goal of the National Competition Commission is to create a transparent and modern legal corridor, thereby improving the capacity to monitor the market and protect consumer rights. The National Competition Commission is strengthening inter-sectoral coordination, promoting cooperation with social organizations and business associations in disseminating the law. An important highlight is also promoting digital transformation, building a database and a system to quickly receive and handle consumer complaints...
Director of the Department of Domestic Market Management and Development Tran Huu Linh said that the Department aims to basically complete the legal infrastructure serving investment and business by 2028. In 2026, the Department will advise on the development of two ordinances to submit to the National Assembly, including: the Market Management Ordinance (amended) to respond to new forms of commercial fraud; the Law on Commodity Derivatives Transactions, a modern model to support price forecasting and market stabilization. However, Director Tran Huu Linh emphasized that advising on the development of a large number of up to 8-9 decrees each year can only be done when there is close coordination between ministries, branches and industry associations. The petroleum sector is a typical example of reform efforts, when in just 5 years, 3 decrees have been amended and will soon be merged into a unified decree, ensuring transparent operation according to market mechanisms.
According to Deputy Director of the Legal Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) Bui Thi Binh Giang, the industry's consistent goal is to take development as the center, take the law as the foundation and consider institutions as a competitive advantage. The Ministry has required units to review obstacles every quarter and prioritize the development of laws according to a systematic and scientific process, summarize practices, carefully assess impacts, and widely collect opinions, so as not to let policies cause difficulties for production and business. In the implementation stage, the Ministry continues to drastically cut and simplify administrative procedures in the 2025-2026 period and make a breakthrough in legal human resources, in order to ensure a modern and transparent legal institution for the Industry and Trade sector. This is the basis for creating the most favorable environment for innovation, promoting businesses to expand production and business, and develop sustainably, thereby promoting economic growth.
