Vietnam: Contracts and Commercial Law

The Vietnamese Government has issued comprehensive new regulations affecting construction quality management, corporate bond offerings, air transport licensing, and insurance requirements. These decrees introduce stricter oversight mechanisms, enhanced disclosure obligations, and updated capital requirements across multiple sectors, fundamentally reshaping compliance frameworks for businesses operating in Vietnam's construction, financial services, and transportation industries.

Vietnam's Decree No. 274/2026/NĐ-CP fundamentally transforms how business investment projects are procured by consolidating investor selection into a unified framework that integrates procurement with investment approval, land administration, and project implementation. This comprehensive reform shifts procurement from a standalone tender process to a continuous regulatory lifecycle where commitments made during investor selection become binding contractual obligations throughout project delivery.

Vietnam has fundamentally reformed its aviation regulatory framework through the 2025 Aviation Law, introducing express recognition of IDERA rights, streamlined deregistration procedures, and enhanced Cape Town Convention remedies. These changes strengthen creditor protections and align Vietnam more closely with international aircraft finance standards, reducing administrative barriers that previously complicated enforcement scenarios.

A new decree in Vietnam brings significant implementation clarity to the country’s existing extended producer responsibility (EPR) legal framework.
