📌 NEW LEGAL UPDATE | OUTBOUND INVESTMENT & FOREIGN EXCHANGE REGULATIONS

Vietnam's outbound investment regime has recently undergone significant simplification, with certain projects now exempt from outward investment registration requirements. These changes are expected to reshape the foreign exchange framework currently governed by Circular No. 12/2016/TT-NHNN.

In our latest Legal Update, we examine key proposed changes under the SBV's draft Circular and highlight practical considerations for investors at different stages of the outbound investment process.

📖 NEW LEGAL INSIGHT | HO CHI MINH CITY AND THE DIRECTION TO DEVELOP LAW ON SPECIAL URBAN AREAS: CERTAIN POTENTIAL IMPLICATIONS FOR THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

We are pleased to share a new article contributed by Ms. Pham Thanh Truc - our Of Counsel, exploring the ongoing discussions surrounding a potential Law on Special Urban Areas for Ho Chi Minh City and its possible implications for businesses and investors.

As Vietnam's largest economic center continues to seek greater autonomy in governance, planning, investment, and innovation, the proposed legal framework may reshape the city's business landscape through enhanced decentralization, improved administrative efficiency, greater legal certainty, and new opportunities for emerging industries and innovative business models.

The article examines:
▪ The concept and legal status of "special urban areas" in Vietnam;
▪ Key policy directions currently under consideration for Ho Chi Minh City;
▪ Potential impacts on investment, governance, compliance, and business competitiveness; and
▪ Opportunities and challenges for enterprises operating in an increasingly dynamic and internationalized urban environment.

As these developments may influence future investment and business strategies, we invite you to explore our latest analysis and insights.

📌 NEW LEGAL UPDATE | Who Owns What AI Create? The Trend Toward a Human-Centric Approach

Vietnam has officially enacted the Law on Artificial Intelligence No. 134/2025/QH15 (“AI Law”), effective from 1 March 2026, marking a significant step toward establishing a comprehensive legal framework for AI regulation across various sectors.

Notably, the AI Law adopts a human-centric approach, emphasizing that AI must serve humans and must not replace human authority and responsibility. The law also prohibits the collection, processing, or use of data for developing, training, testing, or operating AI systems in violation of intellectual property laws.
