Vietnam free trade zone development

Overview

The Vietnamese government established a regulatory framework for the creation of free trade zones through Decree No. 378/2026/ND-CP. This decree outlines specific requirements for such zones, including a minimum scale of 1,000 hectares, strategic geographical locations with access to international transport hubs, and the necessity of multimodal transport connections.

Following these national guidelines, the Da Nang People's Committee approved an investment policy for a 3.5 trillion VND infrastructure project within the Da Nang Free Trade Zone. Located in the Hoa Vang district, the 276-hectare project aims to support production, logistics, and digital technology sectors. The development is scheduled to undergo investment procedures through 2027, with construction expected to continue until early 2032.
