Members of Parliament specializing in this field give their opinions on 10 important draft laws.
According to the program, this morning (September 30), the Conference of Specialized National Assembly Delegates continued to discuss many important issues.
Accordingly, in the morning, Vice Chairman of the National Assembly Vu Hong Thanh will preside over the session discussing the economic and financial sectors, including four draft laws: the Law on Bankruptcy (amended); the Law on Deposit Insurance (amended); the Law on E-commerce; and the Law on Saving and Combating Waste.
In the afternoon, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly Le Minh Hoan chaired a session discussing the group of issues related to defense, security, foreign affairs, and oversight, comprising six draft laws.
Specifically, the draft laws include: the Law on Emergency Situations; the Law on Cybersecurity; the Law on Protection of State Secrets (amended); the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of 10 laws related to security and order; the Law amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Law on International Treaties; and the Law on Supervisory Activities of the National Assembly and People's Councils (amended).
Notably, the draft law amending and supplementing several articles of 10 laws related to security and order proposes amendments to some provisions concerning identity verification and the installation of driver monitoring devices on commercial transport vehicles with fewer than 8 seats. Passenger vehicles with 8 or more seats (excluding the driver's seat) used for commercial transport must install additional devices to record images of the passenger compartment.
The bill also removes the regulation that commercial vehicle drivers cannot drive more than 48 hours per week. Instead, it amends the regulations on continuous driving time for drivers in a day and a week to comply with the provisions of the Labor Code.
The new regulations significantly shorten the time required to list shares.
The Chairman of the State Securities Commission has just signed a decision promulgating the Regulations on coordinating the review of applications for initial public offerings (IPOs) simultaneously with applications for listing shares.
This is an important step in administrative procedure reform, contributing to improved efficiency in capital mobilization and protection of investors' rights in the stock market.
With this coordination mechanism, specialized units under the Securities Commission, together with the Ho Chi Minh City Stock Exchange (HoSE), will review the submitted financial statements, reports on contributed charter capital, company charters, and related documents, thereby significantly shortening the time to list shares for trading after the IPO.

Throughout the application review process, the specialized units of the Securities Commission and HoSE coordinated through written exchanges, professional meetings, and sharing information regarding requests for amendments, additions, explanations, or rejection of applications.
After the Securities Commission issues the certificate of registration for the initial public offering of shares, the prospectus and certificate will be sent to HoSE to continue the process of reviewing the listing application.
The coordination regulations not only help minimize procedures but also contribute to increased transparency and standardization of the IPO process associated with listing. When conducting an IPO, businesses will simultaneously be prepared for listing, maximizing opportunities for capital raising and increasing investor confidence.

Ho Chi Minh City gains additional office supply as it expands its space.
According to data from Savills Vietnam, as of Q2 2025, the total office supply in Ho Chi Minh City reached approximately 2.9 million m², a slight increase compared to the previous quarter thanks to the entry of several Grade C projects outside the city center.
Due to limited new supply, market activity remained stable with average rental rates reaching VND 843,000/m²/month and high occupancy rates at 88%. Demand for office space mainly came from key sectors such as information technology, finance and banking, and shipping.

Savills Vietnam stated that the merger of administrative boundaries opens up opportunities to form new development axes, potentially creating more land and boosting investment flows into Ho Chi Minh City's office market, given the current limited supply.
It is projected that between now and the end of 2027, the city will add approximately 234,000 m² of new office space, with more than half concentrated in the central core. This new supply will not only alleviate short-term pressure but also indicate strong growth potential for high-quality projects in the coming period.
This unit stated that with stable rental demand and limited supply, the formation of office clusters outside the traditional central area, along with the trend of expanding flexible workspaces, will contribute to restructuring the market.
