Prof Dang Hung Vo, former Deputy Minister ofNatural Resources and Environment, said the shortage of information in theproperty market has been a big issue for its development.
Recent land fever in special administrativeeconomic zones as well as other forecasts on the real estate market is only“qualitative”, Vo said, adding that the market still lacked of publishedinformation.
He gave an example that such information of howmany condotels will be offered in central Da Nang city and whether capitalshould flow into the real estate market or not should be published.
“If we do not have data, we cannot discuss aboutdevelopment, forecasts and co-operation among investors in the estate market,”he added.
Vo suggested that the Government should have realand open data to help investors have an overall view about the market.
Sharing the ideas, Dang Huy Dong, former Deputy Ministerof Planning and Investment, said there should be cooperation between theGovernment and businesses to ensure information in the market.
Dong said the property market has not hadinformation only on estate projects but also materials, suppliers and finance.
