Introduction
On 20 November 2018, the National Assembly of Vietnam passed a Law on Anti-corruption to replace the law issued in 2005 (and amended in 2007 and 2012). This law which came into effect from 1 July 2019 provides regulations regarding the prevention and detection of corruption and actions against corruption.

Recently, on 1 July 2019, the Government of Vietnam issued Decree 59/2019/ND-CP to provide guidance on a number of issues on the Law on Anti-Corruption. This decree came into force from 15 August 2019.

This article discusses certain material issues in the anti-corruption framework under the Law on Anti-corruption and its implementing decree (collectively, the “Anti-corruption Regulations”)
