Nation appreciates IMF help on inflation, investment efficiency
Viet Nam appreciated the International Monetary Fund's help in controlling inflation and increasing public investment efficiency, Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, Chairman of the Government Office, said on Mar. 23.
He made the statement when receiving IMF Viet Nam representative Benedict Bingham and a visiting IMF delegation.
Phuc said the Vietnamese Government was committed to sustainably creating a stable macro-economy and maintaining a good social welfare system, especially for the poor and ethnic minorities.
He announced that Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung had approved a plan to evaluate the finance sector and that a letter requesting the collaboration of the IMF and the World Bank in the plan would soon be sent.
Bingham said Viet Nam's Resolution No.11/NQ-CP released on February 23 reflected the Government's strong commitment to stabilising the macro-economy.
He also presented the IMF's suggestions on monetary, exchange rate and fiscal policies.
Bingham said that stabilising the financial situation was crucial and required preventive strategies at a macro level.
