Vietnam National Assembly Discusses Draft Law on Commodity Derivatives
The Vietnam National Assembly is evaluating a new draft law aimed at regulating commodity derivatives markets. The Economic and Finance Committee emphasized the need for investor security and the strengthening of state oversight.
The Vietnam National Assembly placed the Draft Law on Commodity Derivatives on its agenda during the session held on November 11, 2026.
The draft, presented by Minister of Justice Hoang Thanh Tung, was reviewed by the Economic and Finance Committee. Committee Chairman Phan Van Mai stated that while the draft meets basic requirements, it needs to be better aligned with Party policies, the constitution, and international agreements.
The committee report indicated that the state management model for the derivatives market needs to be clarified, inter-institutional oversight mechanisms established, and risk prevention policies developed. Furthermore, it was recommended that investor protection be prioritized, market participants operate on a voluntary basis, and security measures for cross-border market integration be enhanced.
It was announced that the draft began deliberation during the 2nd Session of the 16th National Assembly and is targeted for adoption at the 3rd Session.
