Cases where people have to photocopy red books to serve the construction of land data
The Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Environment is implementing the 45-day peak plan to complete the land database. Talking to Lao Dong Newspaper, a representative of the Economic, Infrastructure and Urban Department of Long Bien ward said: "We are implementing the 45-day plan to complete the land database. The new data system will help ensure that all land plots are registered and fully updated, creating a platform for the operation of state management in real time.
When asked about people having to photocopy land use right certificates, while they had previously done it once in the 90-day land data cleanup campaign, whether the collected data is still usable and why they continue to require people to photocopy land use right certificates and citizen identification cards, a representative of the Economic, Infrastructure and Urban Department of Long Bien ward (Hanoi) said that not every case has to be photocopied.
According to the unit representative, based on the dossiers that have been collected, scanned and digitized before, in cases where there are full data, the information fields in the scanned dossier and spatial data (including information on the red book, citizen identification card and land plot location) are all matched, there will be no photocopying.
For cases where information is still missing in the dossier, supplementation is necessary. For example, previously, 9-digit identity cards, now switched to 12-digit citizen identification cards, must update new information and confirm that the person using the 9-digit identity card and 12-digit citizen identification cards is the same person. This is also the reason why the Police force participates in coordination in the review process. See more...
FDI flow shifts, quality real estate takes the throne
According to JLL Vietnam (a branch of a global commercial real estate investment consulting and management company from the US), although foreign direct investment (FDI) capital flows continue to be maintained at a high level, the capital flow structure is showing a strategic shift in the context that international interest rates are still anchored at a high level and foreign investment funds are increasingly cautious when revaluing asset values in Vietnam.
Projects that depend on price increase expectations or are located in areas without real demand continue to face difficulties. Conversely, assets with high energy efficiency, meeting sustainable development standards and creating stable cash flow are having a clear competitive advantage, as tenants are increasingly focusing on controlling operating costs.
