The special point is that the capital for real estate development in Bac Ninh today does not only depend on the equity capital of domestic investors but is expanded through many other forms such as bank loans, foreign investment capital, private capital, corporate bonds, financial technology start-up projects, capital mobilization from customers, joint ventures, associations, etc.

In addition, through inspection and examination, the Provincial Department of Construction has revoked and forced remediation of about 309 cases of buying/renting social housing for the wrong subjects and not meeting the prescribed conditions; and imposed penalties on 7 units.

However, the People's Committee of Bac Ninh province also stated that social housing projects have been developed but have not kept up with the needs of workers and low-income earners; site clearance for some projects is slow, access to preferential credit policies is still difficult; regulations on appraisal of selling, renting and buying prices of social housing are not suitable to the actual situation.
