On 22 June 2025, Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade (“MOIT”) released the first draft of the Law on E-Commerce (“Draft Law”) for public consultation. This marks a major development in the country’s digital regulatory landscape. Until now, Vietnam’s e-commerce sector has been governed primarily by sub-law instruments, most notably Decree No. 52/2013/ND-CP dated 16 May 2013, as amended (“Decree 52”).
The Draft Law seeks to elevate and modernize the legal framework by codifying key principles, defining platform obligations, regulating foreign participation, and providing clearer foundations for digital governance.
