The Institute of Economic Resources and Environment of Ho Chi Minh City has formally requested the city’s Party Secretary and People’s Committee Chairman to refrain from increasing the land value coefficient (K-factor). In a document dated June 22nd, the institute proposed maintaining the K-factor at 1. This request aims to avoid placing a financial burden on citizens. The K-factor is used to adjust land prices, and an increase would likely lead to higher costs for land-related transactions and potentially impact affordability. The institute’s recommendation suggests concerns about the economic impact of raising land values within the city. This intervention highlights ongoing discussions regarding land valuation policies in Ho Chi Minh City and their effect on residents. The proposal signals a desire to protect citizens from increased financial strain related to property and land use.
