07.2026 - REFINING MERGER CONTROL REGIME FROM POLICY PROPOSALS TO DRAFT LEGISLATION

In early 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Trade proposed to the Government a project to amend, among other legislations, Law on Competition No. 23/2018/QH14 (“Current Law”).

 

The revisions to economic concentration, or commonly known as merger control, represent a key focus of the project. In early June 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Trade has further proposed the draft law (“Draft”) in which relevant policy proposals have been translated into specific legal provisions.

This legal update continuously discusses the key highlights and notable developments in the Draft.
