Vietnam legislative and resource management reforms

Overview

Vietnam is undergoing various legislative reforms aimed at improving resource management and fiscal oversight. The Ministry of Finance has proposed a consolidated State Budget Law to merge existing frameworks for state budget management and public investment into a single, streamlined structure. This proposal seeks to eliminate overlapping regulations, enhance fiscal management through digital transformation, and decentralize authority while increasing accountability.

In parallel, the implementation of the 2023 Water Resources Law marks a shift toward integrated management based on river basins. This approach aims to balance water distribution across sectors and regions to prevent shortages, particularly as a significant portion of the nation’s water originates from transboundary sources. Experts suggest that management must transition toward unified river basin governance and proactive forecasting to ensure national water security.
