Video: Viet Nam officially removes state monopoly on gold bar production
The government has issued a new decree on the management of gold trading activities, abolishing the state’s monopoly on the production of gold bars and the import and export of raw gold, shifting instead to a licensing regime.
Politburo Resolution No. 10-NQ/TW dated June 8, 2026, on the development of the foreign-invested economy reflects a clear shift in thinking on attracting and utilising FDI. In line with this trend, Ho Chi Minh City is moving decisively from a “project attraction” mindset towards “ecosystem creation” to draw high-quality capital, with innovation, technology transfer and national competitiveness serving as key benchmarks.
