Vietnam: The Law amending and supplementing several articles of the Law on Commerce, the Law on Competition, the Law on Foreign Trade Management, and the Law on Protection of Consumers’ Rights (the “Draft Law”) is currently being finalized. It is expected to be submitted to the National Assembly for consideration and approval in October 2026. A key highlight of the Draft Law is the proposed amendment to the Law on Commerce 2005, which includes the removal of provisions on commercial remedies. This aims to reduce overlap with the Civil Code 2015 and uphold the principle of freedom of contract in commercial relationships. Consequently, the Draft Law is expected to create a more transparent and stable business environment while addressing practical difficulties and obstacles arising from the implementation of the current Law on Commerce 2005.
