54 excellent estate businesses, projects honoured
Hanoi (VNA) – A total of 54 businesses
and projects were honoured with the Vietnam Property Awards 2018 in Hanoi on
April 14 in recognition of their significant contributions to the development
of the real estate market in Vietnam.
The awards were launched by the Vietnam Real
Estate Association (VNREA), the Management Agency for Housing and Real Estate
Market under the Ministry of Construction and the VTV24 news centre.
Speaking at the award ceremony, Deputy Prime
Minister Trinh Dinh Dung said after a period of decline, the real estate market
has recovered and developed strongly with high liquidity and reasonable
structure, helping modernise urban areas.
Particularly, the increasing areas of social
housing projects have created accommodations for nearly 500,000 low-income
people and workers at industrial parks, he said.
The awards encouraged domestic businesses to enhance
corporate social responsibility, competitiveness and develop trademark to meet
international standards, he added.
To ensure sustainable and healthy development,
it is necessary to improve relevant institutions, revise and supplement terms
of the laws on construction, housing, and real estate business, and build a law
on urban management and development to create a legal corridor and favourable
environment for property investment and development, Dung said.
Planning schemes on urban development should be
revised to avoid spontaneous investment, he said, adding that the development
of social housing projects is needed to ensure all people could afford safe and
quality accommodation.
According to VNREA President Nguyen Tran Nam,
after four months of launching, hundreds of businesses registered to join the
