This conference isto clearly identify the difficulties and problems faced in the field of construction investment, thereby helping the Government, ministries and sectors to work out effective solutions and sustainably develop their construction investment activities, one of the most important production areas of the economy.

Because of their wide scope, complexity and specific characteristics, the construction investment activities need to be closely controlled in order to ensure the safety of works and the people’s lives and property, as well as ensuring the effective capital management and use, whilst avoiding wastefulness and loss.

Therefore, the construction investment activities have been regulated by about 12 different laws,many decrees and resolutions of the Government and the Prime Minister, the instruction circulars of ministries, and more than 20,000 standards, norms, and technical and economic norms, from the steps of defining the investment plan and the demand for investment capital, to the stages of preparing, implementing, and concluding construction investment and putting the project into operation.

Over the past years, the legal system in construction investment has improved remarkably, contributing to strengthening the effectiveness and efficiency of state management, creating a favorable business environment, and enhancing the quality of construction works. A lot of difficulties, in terms of mechanisms and policies, related to construction investment have been resolved by the Government and the PM. However, there remain many obstacles that need to be further assessed and removed.
