Creating new growth drivers for Ho Chi Minh City.
433 delegates pressed the button to approve the National Assembly Resolution amending and supplementing a number of articles of Resolution No. 98/2023/QH15 on piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Ho Chi Minh City (accounting for 91.54% of the total number of National Assembly delegates).
This resolution stipulates the piloting of several specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Ho Chi Minh City regarding investment management; finance and state budget; urban management, resources, and environment; priority list for attracting strategic investors; establishment and operation of the Ho Chi Minh City Free Trade Zone; management of science and technology and innovation; and the organizational structure of the city government.
Presenting the report explaining, receiving feedback, and revising the draft Resolution before the National Assembly's vote, Minister of Finance Nguyen Van Thang stated that, in order to strengthen decentralization and delegation of power, and to enhance inspection and supervision to ensure the Resolution's implementation is open, transparent, and free from policy abuse, Clauses 2, 3, and 5 of Article 1 of the draft Resolution have assigned the City People's Council to issue all necessary and timely guiding documents within its authority to effectively implement the Resolution and create new growth momentum for the City.
According to the Resolution, point a, clause 2, Article 4 is amended and supplemented to the effect that the City People's Council shall decide on the use of local budget to implement independent public investment projects to carry out compensation, support, and resettlement for investment projects according to separate urban design plans, urban planning of areas adjacent to railway stations along railway lines approved by competent authorities, and areas adjacent to traffic junctions along the Ring Road 3 within the city's territory, in order to acquire land, renovate and develop urban areas, implement resettlement, create land funds for auctioning land use rights to implement urban development, commercial, and service investment projects in accordance with the law, or to pay investors implementing railway projects applying the Build-Transfer (BT) contract type in accordance with the law on investment under the public-private partnership method.
Amend and supplement point c, clause 2, Article 4 as follows: At railway stations, train maintenance and repair depots, and areas adjacent to traffic junctions along the Ring Road 3 that the City People's Committee has identified for development under the TOD model, the City People's Committee may decide on investment in construction combined with housing construction, commercial and service construction, public works, and public facilities. The City People's Committee may also decide on economic and technical indicators and land use planning indicators that differ from those stipulated in the national technical standards on urban and rural planning, but must ensure compliance with technical infrastructure, social infrastructure, and environmental safety regulations for residential areas as prescribed by law.
Simultaneously, add point c1 after point c with the following content: Housing, commercial and service buildings, public works, and public facilities in the railway station area and train maintenance and repair depot area may be sold, transferred, leased, lease-purchased, or subleased in accordance with the law within the project's operating period.
For local railway projects under the TOD model that utilize the entire city budget or investor advance funds for compensation, support, and resettlement of land acquired for the railway and TOD area, the city is allowed to retain 100% of the revenue generated from the exploitation of land in the TOD area to prioritize investment in local railway projects and transportation projects along the TOD route.
Adding cases of land reclamation beyond those stipulated in the Land Law.
The National Assembly also voted to approve the Resolution amending and supplementing a number of articles of Resolution No. 136/2024/QH15 on the organization of urban government and piloting a number of specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Da Nang city, with 442 delegates voting in favor, accounting for 93.45% of the total number of National Assembly delegates.
The report explaining, receiving feedback, and revising the draft Resolution, presented by Minister Nguyen Van Thang, shows that the Government has directed the Ministry of Finance to closely coordinate with Da Nang city and relevant agencies to review the mechanisms and policies in the draft Resolution, ensuring the correct implementation of the guidelines, policies, and directives of competent authorities at all levels as stipulated in Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW of the 12th Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam; Regulation No. 178-QĐ/TW of the Politburo; and the conclusions of the Politburo and the Standing Committee of the Party Central Committee.
Following the National Assembly Standing Committee's opinion on adding cases of land acquisition beyond those stipulated in Article 79 of the 2024 Land Law, the Government has directed relevant agencies to review and ensure adherence to the directives of the Standing Committee of the Party Central Committee. Specifically, the Resolution only stipulates cases of land acquisition for the implementation of projects such as: logistics centers serving seaports, airports, and inland waterways with a scale of up to 50 hectares; logistics services serving seaports, airports, and inland waterways with a scale of up to 50 hectares; exhibition centers with a scale of less than 100 hectares; and the exploitation of minerals for common construction materials to address urgent and unique issues specific to Da Nang.
Based on the implementation at the local level, the aforementioned land acquisition cases for socio-economic development in the national and public interest within the city have proven effective. The Government will report to the National Assembly to request permission to expand and codify this policy for nationwide application.
Furthermore, some of the aforementioned land reclamation cases have been approved by the National Assembly for application in Hai Phong City according to Resolution No. 226/2025/QH15 and will also be applied in Ho Chi Minh City after the National Assembly passes a resolution amending Resolution No. 98/2023/QH15 at the 10th session of the 15th National Assembly. Therefore, the Government proposes that the National Assembly retain the content of the draft resolution as is.
