compliance with regulations, fosters transparency, and builds public trust. Together, these factors
significantly enhance the overall sustainability and effectiveness of the real estate industry.
To achieve this, targeted financial instruments are necessary. Private sector entities can
secure capital from both domestic and international financial institutions or issue shares on the
stock market, while SOEs can initially obtain funding through the state budget (Figure 1).
CONCLUSION
This study examined financial instruments in railway projects across Asia, focusing on Hong
Kong, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, Laos, Korea, and China. Based on these, a financial strategy was
proposed to address two key challenges in Vietnam's railway development: securing government
investment and attracting private sector participation.
Regarding Government Investment Capital, this study recommends utilizing sovereign
bonds, infrastructure bonds, loans from international financial institutions, and LVC. LVC,
particularly when integrated with TOD planning, is highlighted as a key tool. By capturing the
increased land value near railway stations, LVC helps mitigate financial risks while making a
substantial contribution to the state budget. To attract private sector investment, the strategy
emphasizes project feasibility and profitability by diversifying revenue through fare sales, LVC,
and government subsidies, while offering protections like revenue guarantees and risk-sharing
to ensure capital recovery and private sector engagement.
In summary, the proposed model aims to secure sustainable funding for Vietnam’s railway
infrastructure, ensuring financial viability and long-term sustainability through a balanced mix of
public and private financing.
