The 4th annual Vietnam Real Estate Market Symposium set for launching

According to the organisers, the event will create a platform bringing together all the key real estate players from inside and outside Vietnam to gain insights and updates on the most recent changes on policy and laws regarding real estate investments in Vietnam.

The symposium will be opened by Vice Minister of Construction Do Duc Duy, who will provide an update on policies and plans for Vietnam’s real estate market in the next 12 months.

Specifically, the symposium will feature three panel discussions. The first panel discussion will be on the sustainability of affordable housing, to be moderated by CBRE Vietnam managing director Marc Townsend, with panelists coming from Sapphire, Dat Xanh Group, NHO and EZ Land.

The second discussion will cover hospitality trends and recent transactions – sustainability/appetites, to be moderated by ZICOlaw managing partner David Lim, with representatives from the Gaw Capital, Accor and Melia hotels and JLL consultants.

The third panel discussions will center on real estate financing, structuring, and lending appetites, to be moderated by KPMG partner Ninh Van Hien, with panelists coming from HSBC and Hong Leong Bank Vietnam.

There will also be speakers on urban planning and development in Ho Chi Minh City over the next five years, the hottest issues faced by real estate investors in Vietnam, the opportunities presented by the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and other free trade agreements as well as legal, tax and market updates.

The symposium will conclude with a two-hour networking opportunity for delegates to speak with key decision makers in the real estate industry.
