According to the Government’s report, amending the Land Law is necessary to perfect legal regulations on land in line with socialist-oriented market economy institutions amid global integration, and strengthen land management in a way that harmonises interests of the State, land users and investors.

The move is expected to promote commercialisation of land use rights, develop a healthy real estate market, and establish a modern, transparent and effective land management system in tandem with administrative reform and digital transformation.
