On 24 September 2024, the Ministry of Public Security of Vietnam (MPS) released a Draft Personal Data Protection Law (Draft PDPL) for public consultation. While the Draft PDPL shares many similarities with Decree No.13/2023/ND-CP of the Government dated 17 April 2023 on personal data protection (Decree 13), the Draft PDPL introduces more stringent requirements to strengthen the legal framework for personal data protection. In this legal update, we will highlight notable new provisions under the Draft PDPL.  #FrasersLawCompany #Frasers30Years #LegalUpdates #DataProtectionLaw #Decree13 Huong Duong, Vy Hoàng, Thảo Nguyễn https://lnkd.in/grjP55ka

The Vietnamese Government has recently adopted and issued Decree 115/2024/ND-CP regarding the detailed regulations on a number of articles and measures for implementing the Law on Bidding 2023 on the selection of investors to implement investment projects using land (Decree 115). This is regarded as a crucial piece of legislation regarding the selection of investors to promote the development of projects. In accordance with this legislative document, the following types of investment projects involving land must be put out for bidding when selecting investors: (i) projects related to urban construction, rural residential; and (ii) projects under the law on management of specific sectors and fields, including the energy industry. We will cover in this legal update the key guidelines and advancements made to the recently adopted Decree 115, which primarily impacts Vietnam's power generation projects. In the past, power generation or infrastructure projects were typically developed and carried out through stand-alone proposals by interested investors. https://lnkd.in/g-_DRiKt #FrasersLawCompany #LawOnBidding #Frasers30Years #PowerProjects #Infrastructure #Investment PHAM Thanh Mai, Bui Vu Hong Nhung

Given the substantial investment required in the development, construction, and operation of energy and power generation projects, it is crucial to ensure not only strict regulatory compliance but also thorough due diligence before entering any transaction relating to energy and power generation projects. Over the past year, shifts in Vietnam's regulatory landscape have added layers of complexity that investors in the energy sector must carefully navigate, with a view of airtight compliance and project viability. In the next session of our webinar series, we will provide a comprehensive overview of the M&A landscape in Vietnam’s energy sector, drawing on insights from previous sessions. Our presenters will discuss key trends and developments in the sector, highlighting important legal and regulatory considerations for private M&A transactions. We will also cover energy-specific due diligence challenges, risk mitigation strategies, deal structuring options, and common acquisition financing models to help you navigate M&A transactions more effectively.

The Government of Vietnam is progressively advancing the PDPVIII roadmap which was first issued on 15th May 2023 and which was followed by the implementation plan in April 2024. PDPVIII details Vietnam's strategy to achieve an aggressive goal on energy security by 2030 and 2050, specifically targeting expansion of capacities in renewable energy sources with particular focus on offshore and onshore wind and solar. To meet these ambitious objectives, the Government has introduced significant legal and regulatory reforms. So far, these reforms include adjustments to electricity pricing mechanisms, updates to the Draft Electricity Law, and the establishment of new frameworks to encourage renewable energy investments. Designed to attract foreign investment and facilitate the development of the infrastructure necessary to achieve Vietnam's energy transition goals we will be highlighting some of the key elements in this Webinar. This is our fifth session of Frasers Law Company’s webinar series and we will discuss updates to PDPVIII that have taken place during the past year; how the developments inter-relate with other key pieces of legislation; and how these interactions broadly impact the energy and power generation sector in Vietnam.
